We were so lucky today. We visited all the scenic spots. After the afternoon thunderstorm, we thought the afternoon trip was ruined. But when we arrived at Oshino Hakkai, the rain basically stopped. Mount Fuji was particularly beautiful after the rain. Today's trip was normal, rich and perfect. Special thanks to Director Liu, who completed a lot of work in advance, so that we could complete today's trip smoothly and perfectly.

I am very grateful to Director Liu and his assistant Xiao Zhu today. I am very satisfied with the itinerary, which is professional and fulfilling. The explanation and service are also very careful and detailed. Although it rained, the weather cleared up immediately. I was very lucky to see Mount Fuji. Five stars are really not enough🌟. I hope to join Director Liu's group again when I come to Japan next time. 👍👍👍👍👍

Tour leader Wanting was exceptional in sharing the history of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. To make this itinerary complete, I would have liked to visit the 5th station. A bonus was that we visited when Mount Fuji was fully visible.

Our tour guide this time was Zhan Jie, a very friendly and kind handsome guy. The itinerary was very reasonable and we saw a lot of beautiful scenery. It was a bit of a pity that we didn’t see the entire Mount Fuji, but other than that the journey was perfect!
