टोक्यो माउंट फ़ूजी ओशिनो हक्काई शॉपिंग एक दिवसीय यात्रा

The driver was patient and courteous. if you are expecting a guide standard, then this tour will not suit you. the driver will briefly give direction and a bit information what to expect. We would rather want the driver to focus on the road. We are happy to travel in a van as a family rather than squeezing in the coach with a lot of tour members. Be expected that the driver will drive you to a Japanese restaurant for lunch and no choosing of venues as it was assigned by company. you have the freedom of choosing what you want to eat or share food if portion is too much as you will be paying for it. We are happy to travel as a family and bond with each other , and time each places of interest ourselves (the timing maybe rushed for certain people), we are contented with eating lavender ice cream, feeding the swans and taking photos of Mount Fuji. the places of interest are less crowded except for oishi park. Suitable to bring elderly along, slow pace and the amount of walking is lesser.

We had originally planned to travel to kawaguchiko on our own and spend the day in one place. I'm glad we took the chance and had the tour though as it cost about the same as a solo trip. We were expecting a huge tour bus but it was only a Toyota Hiace van which made the trip more pleasant and relaxing. Our driver Wan was very good navigating traffic and getting us around. While the itinerary didn't state it there was a lunch break at a traditional Japanese restaurant. It was very expensive and not included in the price but part of the experience. We only felt a little rushed at the end of the day when it was getting close to the time to head back to Tokyo but otherwise it was a good day.

Lovely itinerary with beautiful views of mt Fuji. As it is self guided, we could take our time to wander the area and take loads of pictures. The only downside is the selection of restaurant for lunch - the menu was overpriced we waited for over and hour without getting served, so we walked out of the restaurant
