“Cruise trip was very short, Ropeway/cable car ride was cancelled due to mismanagement. JPY 800 coupon was given to shop only at the store which would profit that dedicated store where prices are already very high compelling you to buy at that price. Must have provided at least one bottle of water. Overall experience was waste of time and money as 90% of the time was spend travelling in the bus.”

The final part was a trip on the bullet train back to Tokyo. We packed a lot into the tour. The trip as a whole was great. The only part that was frustrating was the very last step.
