Reviews
The tour is great, having a different experience and visiting beautiful locations not easily accessible. Michiko is great, telling interesting stories during the trip. Do note that a lot of walking for Mt. Yoshino, please wear comfy shoes. 1 improvement maybe is to increase time allocated there.
my family and i are happy and satisfied. it is worth every penny. thank you for this wonderful trip.
The tour guide doesn't speak English very well but is friendly. Experience good strawberry picking, eat strawberries right in the garden. Yoshino's flowers are not in full bloom yet, but they are still beautiful.
This is a beautiful tour full of cherry blossom scenery and I really enjoyed the session at the giant Buddha place and the last stop, which I wish we had more time to explore. Even with 2.5 hours at Yosh, we could not cover all the places. It’s easy to get lost so make sure you bring a map from the tourist counter. Wear sneakers because there’s a lot of incline until you reach the huge shrine/temple at the end. Prepare to walk a lot and expect lots of shops, stallls and restaurants at the venue. Enjoy!
wonderful experience wish it was sunny. Our guide was wonderful. Felt bad for the guy because we had difficult people on the trip. would highly recommend.
i booked before the spring sales if not is perfect score. Everything run smoothly and on time but such a pity that the cherry blossoms in Mt Yoshino not full bloom yet.
It was amazing! It was raining the day of the tour but they stopped at a conbini so we can buy umbrella. The tour guide showed us where to take the best picture. The strawberries were sweet and the views from the buddha and mt yoshino cannot be beat.
Excellent guide, I forgot his name. Super entertaining. The spots are all worth visiting. highlight was Strawberry picking for the kids !
we had Isai Takahara as our guide, he was very nice and punctual. it was very fun. he spoke English.
the vehicle was too small for comfort . we were not given too much explanation re the site we were visiting . There were hardly any cherry blossom on the mountain which was the highlight. While no one can control the weather but whether there will be cherry blossom there should be known a few days prior . in which case the people should be given the option to cancel or change the trip . The one bright spot was the strawberry picking .
