Helen is such a friendly and helpful guide. The pace of the tour is perfect.
Beautiful sceneries. The cave is magnificent. Helen is very good & helpful.
The trip was awesome. These spots are the most scenic spots in Japan. And they are difficult to get to on your own.
14 pax in my group. Minibus just ok. Travel distance ok. Tour guide ok. Reasonable trip.
Tour was good. Tour guide was good, even though English was not his first language, still very informative
