Notes:
Drive between pier and Goshogawara city is approximately 75 minutes each way.
Some part of walking at Kanayama Kiln is over uneven, bare ground, and a few stairs are required.
Tsurunomaihashi Bridge is under long term renovation so it may spoil the scenery.
The view of Tsurunomaihacshi Bridge is weather permitting.
Japanese yen are required for additional purchases.
Some of the shop of Apple Hill Namioka may close without prior notices.
Tour order may vary.
This tour has walking on unbared ground/through the bridge(about 1km) so it is not recommended for passengers with walking difficulties.
