Saitama Prefecture Dagtrips

Ik had het verkeerd gelezen en dacht dat het een keuze was tussen Hoshino en Prince Outlet, maar ik heb last-minute zelf de route gewijzigd en chauffeur/gids meneer Wu op de hoogte gesteld, maar er is een misverstand ontstaan waardoor hij ons overal zocht. Bedankt.

Uitstekende dagtour en bespaar tijd op het openbaar vervoer. Arakurayama-park, Mount Fuji-kabelbaan en Oshino Hakkai.

The tour leader was great and emphasized the importance of being on time, mentioning that the bus would leave otherwise. This reminder was very helpful, and everyone was on time today, February 2nd. Lunch was delicious. The snow tubing and sledding in the morning were a lot of fun. The weather was great, with light, fine snow falling. We had a lot of fun. The strawberries were delicious, and we ate so many we were stuffed. The tofu skin making experience in the afternoon was fantastic. It was my first time making tofu skin myself, and it was a lot of fun. Today's itinerary was wonderful. We were constantly eating and on our way to eat, haha. It was an excellent trip. The tour leader and guide were Taiwanese, very helpful, and helped me take photos. They were very nice. This trip was great, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to play in the snow.

Een dagtocht naar Karuizawa heeft een echte vakantiesfeer: de waterkleur van de Kumoba-vijver weerspiegelt de schaduw van het bos, en het stadje Harunire Terrace is heerlijk om langs de houten promenade te wandelen, koffie te drinken en te genieten van zoete desserts en brood. Karuizawa is de moeite waard om de volgende keer een nacht te verblijven. Gids Liu was vriendelijk en professioneel, en gaf gedetailleerde uitleg, waarbij hij rekening hield met alles, van historische cultuur en gebruiken tot gastronomie. De algehele ervaring was perfect.

Our tour guide for the past two days was Tony, and he took very good care of us. He even gave us small gifts. It was very cold when we went to Ginzan Onsen, and he gave us heat packs. He also gave us heat packs and chocolate on the second day. When we couldn't enter the Fox Village, he found a way for us to go somewhere else. We went to Shiroishi Castle, which was very beautiful and worth a walk and taking some pictures. The driver was also very nice, drove very smoothly, and greeted everyone warmly when getting on and off the bus. We happened to encounter heavy snow when we went to Ginzan Onsen, which was very beautiful. On the second day, we went to the Zao Snow Monsters, and we were incredibly lucky! The weather was very clear. Although we couldn't ride the cable car to the very top because there were too many individual travelers, it was still very beautiful and worth it! I heard that the day before we went, Zao had a big snowstorm and the visibility was very poor, but the weather was clear blue skies today! So lucky~ We stayed at Kamesei Ryokan. The hotel looks very historical, but it's maintained quite cleanly. The rooms are also very large, and the breakfast is rich and delicious, with both traditional Japanese and Western breakfasts. Thank you to the tour guide and driver for their hard work these past two days! 👍

Het kost veel tijd om naar plaatsen zo ver van het stadscentrum te gaan. Het is fijn om een tourbus met een gids te hebben die je rondleidt! Het zou veel beter zijn als we meer tijd hadden in Kawagoe!
