It was my first experience of Mount Fuji, led by an experienced and friendly guide and a skilled driver. We were lucky enough to have excellent weather, allowing us to see the mountain up close and clearly. Thanks to the guide's appropriate explanations, I had a very enjoyable trip to Mount Fuji.
The tour guide was very responsible, providing detailed explanations and information at each stop, so we could enjoy the trip with peace of mind. The driver was also very responsible, driving smoothly, patiently, and politely. The other travelers were also very well-behaved, quiet, and punctual. Checking the weather forecast is very important for a day trip, and we were lucky to have good weather and beautiful scenery. Overall, it was a wonderful day trip experience.
A very popular day trip, seeing the grandest Shibazaki, feeling shocked. Although it was a Saturday, there were many domestic and foreign tourists, but we were able to see the most beautiful shiba and the itinerary was in place. Some emergencies, the tour guide Diffany also handled appropriately, 讃! But there was also some sand and gravel in the itinerary, that is, some immature guests did not understand clearly that the itinerary did not include lunch time, but kept complaining about the tense atmosphere. Of course there are customers who don’t follow the rules. Not only late but also people bring strong smelling food on board which makes the tour guide difficult to do and the atmosphere is embarrassing. Another commendable is Mr. Driver's road etiquette, which has a small episode is that there is another car on the road for no reason often blocking the front of the tour bus, Mr. Driver has been allowed until safely drive away from each other, feeling the driver's response is considering the safety of passengers. But overall I think this is a tourist attraction worth visiting.
Including a day trip to Mount Fuji on a trip with my parents was definitely the best decision I've ever made! Thanks to our guide, Augustin, for the excellent time management, which allowed us ample time to queue at the Asama Shrine to go up to the observation deck. Seeing Mount Fuji, the five-story pagoda, and the cherry blossoms in person was truly worthwhile! I especially appreciated how he always provided timely and useful information in our Line group chat during the trip, making us feel fulfilled and at ease. During free time at the attractions, if we happened to bump into Augustin, he would enthusiastically take photos of our family together. My parents had a wonderful time on this trip, and we are very grateful for everything.
