Great sightseeing, poor tour!

This isn't a tour! it's a 4 hour transfer to the Alps with minimal stop (10 mins) on a non toilet equipped bus on windy roads requiring 745 at pickup and return 630pm showing children's cartoons onboard and only 3 hrs at the location. That said, the scenery, views, mountains, river, water is spectacular. Sights on route are glorious too. Loved the contrast between Nagoya city and mountains. Was worth the travel but not really customer friendly. Needed leaflet on walk options or QR code at least. In wet weather it is open with little shelter. On a sunny day if your prepared foid and drink you will enjoy it. Be challenging with small children.
