We had a fabulous time!!!! Our guide was very gracious as we got on the wrong train and arrived an hour late. We enjoyed traveling through the country side, but our favorite part of our adventure was visiting our guides mother’s house having a traditional meal with tea and experiencing local customs. Very easy riding with the e-bikes. Such a great experience! We would recommend it wholeheartedly!

Extremely fun, great guide ! I got to learn Pachinko and got more comfortable exploring alone for the rest of the trip. Excellent conversation too ! Highly recommended.

Great food, informative, and entertaining. Wrestlers and host had a great sense of humor. Bonus geisha performance. Young kids had a blast. A really fun activity.

After a long flight it was a hassle free way to get to our hotel without having to ship luggage or navigate trains while really tired.

Day was great. The guide is not so informative. If you ask they respond but is not feeding you with info.
