Jim was an amazing guide! Everything was so organised and he helped to make sure everyone got the best photos and the best out of the trip. Unfortunately we could only partially see Mt Fuji for the first 2 spots, then it disappeared but it was still a great experience and tour. Thanks Jim ☺️

The itinerary for the whole day was very good. The tour guide was very punctual, but it was a bit unreasonable to ask to change Lake Yamanaka to Oshino Hakkai during the trip. I originally signed up for the two lakes tour because there was no Oshino Hakkai. Fortunately, I went to Lake Yamanaka in the end. The parking lot was far from the hot springs, so I had too little time for the hot springs, and the time for Sengen Shrine was a bit long. All the teammates in the car were very helpful. It was a very happy day.

Before the trip, I saw bad weather and wanted to cancel the trip. But on the day, the tour guide was very humorous and serious, and the weather gradually improved. Finally, I was able to see Mount Fuji and there was no traffic jam on the departure and return journey. I was very lucky.
