Customer feedback

We requested a private tour for 5 hours from Koriyama to the accommodation. The planning was thorough, and they made various suggestions. My two sons enjoyed delicious ramen in Kitakata, and we visited lacquerware workshops and sake breweries while admiring the streets of the warehouses. Finally, we headed to Goshikinuma to enjoy nature. During the travel time, we learned a lot about Fukushima. This tour, made possible by its private nature, became a memorable trip. Thank you very much.
I participated in a private tour in Inawashiro. From 12 PM to 5 PM, it was a perfect schedule! 🚗 Personally, I was captivated by the sparkle of the 'World Glass Museum' and the calm atmosphere of TARO Cafe. Since it was a small private tour, we could enjoy it at our own pace, which was great. I would love to come back in a different season!
We used this service as a group of four. The large vehicle allowed us to use the interior comfortably, and the flexibility in timing at sightseeing spots and the ability to change destinations were unique to the private tour. We were satisfied as photography enthusiasts.
