Our guide, Shima, was an absolute delight. Ashikaga was the highlight! but I was very satisfied to see the nemophila still in bloom at Hitachi Seaside Park. We’re absolutely thrilled that we were able to do so much in one day. Thank you!
As soon as we got on the bus they told us the strawberry picking portion would be canceled. I understand the roads are busy because of golden week but since this is the time when the flowers are in bloom the tour company should know that and take that into account when planning the tour stops and not advertise it as one of the main parts of the tour. It was really disappointing. They gave us 1000 yen back for that but I don’t don’t think this tour was worth it without the strawberry picking. Ashikaga Park is actually externally accessible via train and the hitachi park has buses you could take instead. Even though there was a canceled portion things still felt rushed.
This was a good tour. However, the flowers at both attractions was not in full bloom which was disappointing. The Wisteria was only 20% in bloom. I was disappointed because that was what I really wanted to see. I think that the tour company should let it be known so people can decide if they still want to book the tours. I would not have booked if I had know these facts. This would be a good tour if the flowers were in full bloom. Also, it is a very long day. 11 hours!!. The tour guide Hiro was amazing!
