Reviews
We originally planned to visit Yatsushiro Castle, but it was canceled due to the large crowds expected for the fireworks display and concerns about missing our transportation. I understand the situation. The tour guide did their best to help us, ensuring we got there quickly and left promptly after the show to avoid missing our ride. The tour guide and driver made excellent arrangements. The only downside is that I purchased insurance through Klook, which stated it would cover changes in the itinerary. However, despite missing one attraction, Klook customer service is requesting photos. I explained that since the itinerary change was due to circumstances, how could I provide photographic proof of the Yatsushiro Castle cancellation? Therefore, I feel the insurance was useless. I won't purchase insurance for future trips, although the insurance wasn't expensive, it's a matter of principle. Aside from Klook customer service, I was very satisfied with everything else. The tour guide was excellent.
This fireworks display was spectacular, truly amazing and beautiful. Our tour guide, Yang Meng, was also very responsible. A wonderful and successful conclusion, fantastic.
A wonderful experience, the fireworks were absolutely spectacular! The venue had plenty of food stalls. The itinerary was well-organized and the time management was excellent! The tour guide was also attentive and answered questions thoroughly.
The fireworks festival experience was great, the company was well-organized, and the tour guide was very professional!
The tour guide was very attentive, personally escorting each of us to the site. They were so thoughtful and lovely. This fireworks display was truly spectacular! I'm definitely joining another JRT tour next time.
Spectacular! We were so lucky it didn't rain at this year's fireworks display. So happy!
It was amazing! I happened to be traveling during the fireworks festival, and you could feel the excellence and innovation of the technicians in every firework. It was captivating to watch.
The tour guide was very friendly and helpful!
The tour guide was very thoughtful and contacted everyone regarding the meeting point before the tour started. They also arranged a bus to pick us up and drop us off on the day of the fireworks, which was much more convenient than going on our own.
An amazing experience! The tour guide proactively contacted us in advance and even provided a bento box and drinks. Fantastic!
