Travelled as a family with 2 adult sons. There were about 16 members in our group and we rode a Toyota coaster which felt a little cramped. Our tour guide was William and he did very well speaking in Chinese and English. At Lake Kawaguchi you have to select if you want the cable car or ship ride. We got both tickets but there was no more time left for the boat ride. At Mt. Fuji 5th station and Owakudani it was very cold and windy. At Lake Ashi we opted for a picture at the torii which had a long queue, instead of hiking to the shrines. The Shuzenji Resort hotel dinner and breakfast was filling with a variety of delicious japanese food, we had a good night's sleep, especially after bathing at the onsen. Were not able to do "Matcha Mountain" but were taken to another park which was our favorite part of the tour because the view & atmosphere was very serene, a less touristy spot. At Enoshima we had a good lunch at our expense, William led us walking and then riding the train to Kamakura.

Sherry, thank you so much for taking us to admire the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, experience the tranquility of Shuzenji Temple, and savor the exquisite cuisine at the onsen ryokan. Everything was made even more perfect by your meticulous arrangements. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable memory of Japan. We hope to have the opportunity to join another one of your tours in the future! 🇯🇵🗻✨

Our tour guide also served as the driver and was very responsible, ensuring everything was well-arranged. The tickets he purchased were for the first row, which was an excellent spot and great value for money. The hotel arranged in the middle of the trip was an old Japanese inn, providing a wonderful experience. The other two attractions were also fantastic; the hot springs would have been perfect if visited in winter. The itinerary design was very good. If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that the hotel we returned to after the Nebuta Festival was quite far. While the tourists weren't too tired, sleeping through the journey, the driver worked incredibly hard, driving for several hours late into the night. I suggest optimizing this part of the route.

Thank you to our tour guide, Xiao Zhao, for his enthusiastic help in finding the location of the shop I wanted to buy from online. It turned out to be inside Oishi Park, and he even took me there personally! I have never stayed at a hot spring hotel of such poor quality; considering the rooms, meals, and facilities, with so many hot spring hotels nearby, the agent surely could have chosen another one!

Our Mt. Fuji day tour guide, Hou Jing, and our Kamakura day tour guide, Lin Yan, were fantastic; they shared historical insights while we enjoyed the scenery from the vehicle. Naturally, day tours tend to be a bit tightly scheduled, so a whirlwind tour is to be expected, but the guides were always willing to help take photos, and their photography skills were amazing! Highly recommended overall.

It is really recommended to get a tour when visiting Mt. Fuji for the first time! This tour is packed for 1 day but we really did enjoyed it and had fun! Even Mt. Fuji showed its majestic snow cap the entire day!! Thank you for our tour guide Yuki and our driver for making the tour safe and fun. She’s incredible and even informative and assisted as much as she can throughout the trip! ❤️

We got incredibly lucky with the weather today, seeing Mt. Fuji so crisp and clear was an absolute highlight! Ken was a phenomenal guide: super patient, attentive, and filled with great insights at every single stop. Traveling with such a friendly, warm group made the whole day feel effortless and special. If you're visiting Japan, do not hesitate and book this tour!

We had an enjoyable one-day Mt. Fuji trip booked through Klook! Although Mt. Fuji was hidden by clouds most of the time, we were lucky enough to catch a brief glimpse of it. Our guide, Andy, was friendly and helpful, making the journey enjoyable despite the weather. The scenic stops were lovely and gave us plenty of photo opportunities. A nice way to explore the Mt. Fuji area in a day. Thank you, Andy, for a memorable trip!
