“Awesome time on this trip and easiest to smash it was the highlight of our time in Japan. The caves are Small, but enjoyable, lunch was a heaping bowl of soup, and picture time up on the mountain was perfect for us, no wait to get up and down on the cable car. We had time to sit on the crest of the lake after the cable car and after lunch to relax and take In the fresh air and country side. Finally, the Sake tasting was more of a Sale making tour, which was great! Host and driver were pleasant and fun to be with. Highly recommend this tour.”
