I recently booked this tour for an upcoming holiday in April 2024, but didn’t realise it was for a group of visitors. We were only a couple. I cannot fault the communication with Hidenori Hikake, the person in charge of the bus company. He was efficient and very pleasant with his responses and gave me some great advice. I was sorry that I didn’t have a group and therefore I had to cancel my booking.
