The tour leader was excellent. He reminded everyone to be on time, otherwise the bus would leave. This reminder was very effective, and everyone was punctual today, February 2nd. Lunch was delicious. Playing with the snow sled and snow tube in the morning was a lot of fun. The weather was great, with light, fine snow falling. We had a wonderful time. The strawberries were incredibly delicious; we ate until we were full. The tofu skin making experience in the afternoon was fantastic. It was my first time making tofu skin myself, and it was very enjoyable. Today's itinerary was superb. We were constantly eating and on our way to eat, haha. It was a wonderful trip. The tour leader and guide is Taiwanese and very enthusiastic and helpful. He even helped me take photos. He's a great person. This itinerary is excellent. I recommend it to anyone who wants to play in the snow.

Thank you, Mr. Gao Hongmiao, for your meticulous and patient care. You made every part of our itinerary today incredibly smooth. Although we didn't go to the waterfall, we saw the cherry blossoms in full bloom and caught the tail end of winter. In one day, we experienced the spring of blooming cherry blossoms, enjoyed all-you-can-eat, freshly picked strawberries, and saw the pure white snow that only appears in winter. Plus, we were back in Tokyo by just after 6 PM, with time to shop at the mall. We did so much in one day; it was truly worth every penny. Highly recommended!

We arrived 1.5 hours early to rent and put on our snow gear. The rental shop staff prepared the equipment for us. The quality was good. The instructions weren't very clear, but a staff member from the YUZAWA INTERNATIONAL PRO SNOW SCHOOL eventually picked us up from the shop, so waiting inside was fine. The staff drove us to Iwappara Ski Resort and introduced us to the coach from Taiwan. Both the staff and the coach were nice and friendly. We did some warm-up exercises and learned how to use a snowboard and the basic skills. We enjoyed the lesson, and it was a good experience for beginners.

We had an enjoyable day trip exploring the key highlights of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field. As the various art installations are scattered across the area and not easily accessible, this tour is recommended for those who would like to visit the art field but do not drive. Our guide, Shima-san, was knowledgeable and personable. She not only shared her knowledge about the art installations, she also shared interesting anecdotes about Niigata.
