Friends who gathered at Shinjuku West Exit, the car departed from Tokyo, and the tour guide would get off the car to call the roll. The itinerary included people from all over the world. The tour guide Tingting was very considerate and introduced the tour in Chinese and English. Because it is very easy to get stuck on weekends, it is recommended to depart on weekdays. However, we walked to all the scenic spots and saw the rare Mount Fuji. The tour guide said that the clouds were thick in the first two days and we couldn’t see Mount Fuji clearly. We can only say that we are so lucky 👍 Thank you for the hard-working driver and tour guide, so that we have a pleasant trip to Japan

The tour guide Feng Liyu was very friendly and helpful. She helped us take photos in front of the sea torii and introduced the history of the shrine. It was a very pleasant trip with a full sense of ritual.
