Kudos to Edward and the bus driver for taking care of us during the trip. Edward was very informative and friendly. Overall we had a good time during the tour, even though the traffic was pretty bad (Took us total 6 hrs going and back to Shinjuku). Places were beautiful! We are lucky enough to have good weather and we can see Mt. Fuji clearly. Things to note: To reach the Pagoda you have to hike 300+ steps. 😅

Great experience. The last time was at Mt. Fuji was in 1990. Such an exhilarating experience to see it again and to actually get photos. My last trip I was driving. Belle did a great job in telling us about the history of the mountain and surrounding areas.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Yuan! She reached out a day before the tour via WhatsApp to reconfirm all the details, which was really reassuring. Once we were on the bus, she provided clear and interesting information about each attraction we visited. Yuan also recommended some amazing traditional Japanese restaurants and even helped us skip the long ice cream queue 😜! Throughout the journey, she was very interactive, friendly, and always ready to help. Highly recommend Yuan for anyone looking for a organised and memorable tour experience! We were blessed with beautiful weather at Mt.Fuji
