Our tour guide, Kevin, was excellent, thoughtful, and humorous. The entire tour felt very comfortable, and half the credit for this trip goes to Kevin! The lake viewing was the highlight of this itinerary, with the final small fireworks display being just an embellishment. The tranquility of the lake can cleanse both body and mind 😌. The bear farm ticket and the final fireworks cruise are optional. Personally, I recommend skipping the former and spending that time visiting Showa Shinzan instead, which is more worthwhile. As for the latter, while watching the fireworks from the lake offers a panoramic view (the fireworks boat moves around, so you might only see parts from the shore), it only lasts about 25 minutes (around 8:45 PM - 9:10 PM Japan time). You can decide for yourself if it's worth it.
