I&#39;ve been to Jiufen a few times, but this was my first time in Shifen. Also, since it was my family&#39;s first trip to Taiwan, I applied for this tour, which was in Japanese and didn&#39;t seem too hectic. It turned out to be the best! Maybe I didn&#39;t read the instructions properly (lol), but we were the only group on the day. There are a lot of people in Jiufen, and when I went there before, I just wandered around aimlessly and didn&#39;t enjoy shopping much, but Allen, who was in charge of the tour, explained the recommended shops and foods, and took me to a tea shop that was a hidden gem? He was so kind to me that I really enjoyed it. The photography skills of the lantern shop in Shifen were also amazing (lol). I recommend it!

I joined a course that went around Jiufen and Shifen in the evening. It was the end of the year weekend, so I was worried about securing transportation on the way back if I went by bus or taxi on my own, so I applied for a tour. As expected, the main street of Jiufen was so crowded that it was difficult to move forward. The bus on the way back was also full, but the guide picked us up right away and it was smooth. Even during the ride, the guide gave a fun introduction to the history of Jiufen and Taiwanese culture. He was able to hear the participants&#39; fast-paced Japanese and answered any questions we had, so I was impressed with his language skills. Jiufen is popular, so I don&#39;t think you can do anything other than a tour during the peak season.

I was confused between the 5-hour tour and this one, but I made the right choice with this tour. Our guide, Mr. Hayashi, spoke very good Japanese and we had a great time without any problems. On the day, there was only one group of us and we did our best. In Jiufen, the guide took us on a route with few stairs and knew everything about Jiufen, including the best spots for photos. He taught me Chinese in the car, which has been very useful in my work after returning to Japan. I would like to take care of you again. Mr. Hayashi is the best!

I really enjoyed both Jiufen and Shifen. During the Shiku no lantern raising ceremony, many photos were taken from the writing process to the raising of the lanterns. From the commemorative photo taken with the lantern on the railroad tracks to the process of lighting the fire and raising the lantern, they made a video of it all the way through, and I&#39;m very happy that I was able to preserve it as a wonderful memory. We were able to see all of Jiufen and enjoy the food and souvenirs. I was also happy to receive a map with famous spots drawn on it. The guide&#39;s sense of distance was just right and he was very kind and nice. I had a great time with my friends. thank you very much.

I attended with my mother, who is in her late 60s. The guide was very kind, and my mother was happy that it was the most fun day! I would definitely recommend it.

My name is Ku-san (actually that&#39;s a kanji that&#39;s unfamiliar to Japan?), but I went to Kubu and said it was easy to understand.The guide explained things in a very easy-to-understand manner and guided me around, making it a very enjoyable trip. I did it! thank you! !

I attended with my mother. It was great that our guide, YEN, spoke fluent Japanese, was friendly, and talked to us about various things. Jiufen is quite a walk from the bus stop if you are coming from Taipei city, but on this tour it was convenient to be able to get close by taxi. They will also introduce you to delicious restaurants and photo spots, so it is recommended for first-time visitors.

I planned a trip to Taiwan to celebrate my sister&#39;s birthday. It would have been difficult to go on my own, but I really wanted to go, so I joined this tour. I made a lot of fun memories. Thank you very much.

It was a shame that we couldn&#39;t see the scenery due to the fog and mist from the rain, but with Linlin&#39;s detailed explanation and guidance, we were able to get to know Jiufen and Shiufen better. They were very helpful and kindly showed me the way back from the night market. thank you very much.
