The tour guide was really great. Although the itinerary was a bit rushed, the places we visited were all very beautiful, especially when it snowed, which made the experience even more different. The timing was just right.

It's great and very convenient. When I went there, there were not many people on weekdays, so I didn't have to wait in line for a long time. Beautiful scenery

The train tickets and entrance tickets are prepared at once, which is very convenient. At the same time, we also provide a one-way subway ticket package if you want to stay in the local area, which is really considerate 👍

It is convenient to purchase and quick to use. You can exchange the voucher for a ticket and take the bus. The small place is quiet and beautiful, but the scenery of Inuyama Castle is beautiful!

The ticket exchange process is a bit inconvenient and very complicated, but the on-site staff will guide you in the ticket exchange, even though the language barrier is not common. Can be translated by translation software

The private car charter went smoothly. The driver was kind and tried his best to meet our needs. We went to many places and introduced the beautiful scenery. He also informed us in advance if there was a possibility of overtime. He was very considerate of us.

The driver was very friendly. Our lobby was on the 15th floor. He would come up to the lobby to help us control the time and carefully confirm the itinerary with us.
