It was a lovely day, starting with the bus which is spacious and comfy. Hikari is very kind and a knowledgeable man, he created a WhatsApp to facilitate the communication, meeting time at the different locations,etc. It is worth it specially if you are alone, so you can meet people and also ask them for help with the pictures:) I'm glad a joined this group!
