Review
Wishing continued success for WisataJepang as well! 😊
Good evening,
My family and I are very pleased with our experience. There were several highly recommended places, all of which were wonderful.
The driver, Akira-san, and especially Mr. Kim, were exceptionally kind and thoughtful. Even though we couldn’t speak Japanese, they were very caring. To our surprise, Mr. Kim could speak Korean, which I can as well, so communication was seamless.
The driver provided many recommendations, even when the weather was unpredictable. We had so much fun throughout this trip. There was a particularly bad snowstorm on our way to Noboribetsu, but it turned into an unforgettable memory.
Thank you for the excellent preparation and for responding quickly to questions, such as regarding luggage arrangements.
In the future, if we explore another area of Japan, we will definitely come back.
Thank you! 😊
