There were only two of us from Taiwan in the entire group, but we still had a great time. The grapes we picked were incredibly sweet, but unfortunately, we couldn't take them with us; we could only eat them on the spot. However, there were vendors selling delicious grapes along the way during the rest of our trip. The water at Oshino Hakkai was crystal clear and beautiful. We'll definitely have to explore it more thoroughly next time.

Bek was a great guide for the day and was accommodating with taking us to other places we wanted to visit. He communicated well and got us back to our accommodation in time for our next tour. Thanks for a great, memorable day.

Great tour. Wasn’t expecting to actually go on Mount Fuji so that was an added bonus. Out tour guide, Rachel Wanting was a great tour guide. She had interesting insights on the history of Mount Fuji. Hope we can book her on a future tour.

was a good trip, though theres a limit time for each destination, but you will still have time to enjoy tge view and taking a photos. Our tour guide named Rachel, she's so helpfull and communicative. Rachel will text you a day before the trip and sending you the gather spot. She always make sure everybody know what to do and no one left behind. Me and my sister got a bit confused at way back from pagoda our bus, and Rachel helpung us by sending the map and patiently waiting for us near the station to guide us back to our bus. Also, we got a free lunch (but for this you can read the condition). So, i would say this trip is a good one and have a good deal. Also the important thing is good service!

This itinerary is perfect for families traveling with young children or seniors. In July, the main flower at Oishi Park is lavender, and the shops there have gardens with various other flowers, making the scenery beautiful even on a cloudy day. At Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba, you can learn about traditional housing. The ranch is a place that people of all ages will enjoy. Since we visited before the peak tourist season and on a weekday, there was surprisingly no one taking photos when we arrived at the Lawson convenience store. We easily took our pictures, browsed the store, and then left. We are very grateful to our tour guide, Mr. Fung. His arrangements for timing and all other aspects were very professional. The time spent at each attraction was just right, and the recommended restaurant had reasonable prices. The four of us were able to try all four set meals, which were delicious and generously portioned. Although Mount Fuji's peak doesn't have snow in the summer, on the day of our visit, the summit was covered by a cloud, resembling its classic image. We all enjoyed this trip!

Hotel is in a beautiful spot - 10 mins from fijikowaguchiko station. Staff welcoming, helpful and very friendly. do yourself a favour book the Fuji mountain view if you can - we were lucky enough to see mt Fuji from our balcony - truely beautiful. Hotel is dated but still works and looks ok. Facilities were very good within the hotel and their free shuttle bus is a great bonus as well. Overall a very very good hotel. Breakfast was also very good.
