Lucky day with clear skies! Mt. Fuji is so beautiful! On this trip, our guide was a man named willYU, who is very articulate. When he explains tourist attractions using English vocabulary, it's easy to understand. Overall, I'm impressed.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this trip to Tokyo was to see Mount Fuji! Among the many tours available, I chose this one because the tour course didn't seem overly exaggerated or cluttered, but rather clean and concise. Luckily, I was able to see a beautiful Mount Fuji with my own eyes. Since I chose a Sunday, the traffic was quite heavy on the way back, but guide Jeon Ara didn't show any signs of fatigue and encouraged everyone to not get tired. Of course, she explained everything well throughout the tour, and seeing her take care of each and every person made me admire that someone like her should be a guide. Next time I come to see Mount Fuji with my family, I hope to meet guide Jeon Ara again. haha

The tour itinerary was very satisfying. The main thing is that the tour guide, Mr. Yuan Yang, was very energetic, polite, and capable. His Korean and Mandarin are also fluent and very professional. This is the second time I've joined a Klook day tour, and it felt great. The itinerary was well-arranged, the timing was accurate, and the tour bus driver was also very professional throughout the trip. The entire bus ride was also very comfortable.

The tour guide assigned this time was Mr. Jiang Jiwan. He was friendly, professional, and really good at taking pictures for the group members. It's amazing that he can speak three languages (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)!!!! Although the lighting was a bit back-lit for taking photos at the attractions between noon and the afternoon, we were lucky to see a magnificent view of Mount Fuji all day long. Mount Fuji under the glow of the sunset was also beautiful. The group members were punctual, which allowed us to return to Shinjuku by around 6 pm. This Mount Fuji day tour experience was great. Thank you.

Pretty good. Checked in at multiple spots for Mount Fuji 🗻, gained many happy memories. Although the people I traveled with didn't know each other, they were all very friendly. Our guide, Han, was busy taking care of everything and very responsible. Thank you for the hard work. Grateful for the chance to meet and travel together.

What to know about Oshino Hakkai

Located in the Fuji Five Lakes region, Oshino Hakkai is known for its eight stunning ponds, each with its own unique allure, located in the small village of Oshino. These ponds, like Deguchi Pond, Okama Pond, Waku Pond, and more, were actually formed from a dried-up sixth lake centuries ago. The ponds at Oshino Hakkai are filled with crystal-clear water from Mount Fuji's melted snow, where you can even take a sip straight from the source! Each mirror pond is filled with freshwater plants and sizable fish, making it a fascinating spot to explore. As you wander around, you'll come across charming restaurants, cute souvenir shops, and tempting food stalls selling local goodies like veggies, sweets, and crafts. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and rice crackers grilling in the open air adds to the delightful atmosphere.
