I accidentally signed up for this inbound tour and was a bit worried, but the guide was fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese, and was kind and responsible. The tour itself was very fulfilling, and it included a visit to "Miyama Kayabuki no Sato," which is not part of other day tours to Amanohashidate, so it was a very satisfying day.

強いて言えば、ツアー詳細に載せてる「会席料理」の写真は食べたものと違ったので、実際に提供される料理の写真を載せるべきかなと思いました。
