A beautiful sight. Would highly recommend booking no later than 5:30 pm to see the sunlight. A 6:30 pm reservation will get the night skies of the city lights. Very cold in the chiller seasons of traveling.

I chose Kabukicho for my ride, it's very convenient to get to Narita or Haneda from here! The price is 1400 JPY.

We had an amazing photoshoot experience in Tokyo with Mac and Masahiro. From the very beginning, they were extremely professional, friendly, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The locations they chose were beautiful and they guided us perfectly with poses and expressions, which made the whole experience very enjoyable and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning – the quality, colors, and composition are truly impressive and look very professional and cinematic. What we appreciated the most was how relaxed and fun the entire session felt. It didn’t feel rushed at all, and we genuinely enjoyed the time while capturing these special memories in Tokyo. Thank you Mac and Masahiro for your incredible work and for giving us such beautiful memories from our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo who wants a memorable and high-quality photoshoot experience

Tickets sell out very quickly, especially for golden hour slots like sunset. It's best to book in advance on Klook, so you can enter directly at your chosen time upon arrival. I happened to get tickets for the daytime, and in my opinion, the city view was still beautiful. Thanks, Klook!

Pretty easy and seamless to use the QR code and redeem the other tickets. Best to head over early to avoid the crowd or go on weekdays. Trail 1 still requires quite a bit of walking and climbing stairs to reach the summit. Didn't go to the onsen as it was quite crowded.

Special thanks to our tour guide Mr. Davy, who was friendly, patient and really helpful. We had an amazing trip to Mount Fuji and the weather was very pleasant!! The itinerary was arranged very well and everything was going smoothly too.
