What a fantastic day! I was lucky to have a private tour with guide Yuichi, which gave us the flexibility to customize some aspects of the day depending on what I was most interested in. Yuichi listened to what I really wanted to get out of the tour and suggested two extra stops that were unbelievably great. Being a big food lover, we stopped at a farmers market where I was able to buy the sweetest strawberries and food souvenirs, but my highlight was the Herb Garden with an uncrowded observation deck featuring a whole bunch of cool (Instagram-worthy) Mt Fuji spots, such as a swing, a water reflection, a grassy platform, and a glass stairway. So cool and quirky. Mori Mori was dazzling, and even though I only rode the rainbow chairlift, I really loved all the sparkling lights and, as a bonus, being there with a Tamagotchi collaboration. I really urge the tour company to include the Herb Garden with the Mt Fuji observation deck into the tour course – I was happy to pay 1,200 yen extra for this experience.
