I highly recommend Kevin Liu's one-day tour of Mount Fuji! The itinerary was meticulously planned, taking us to Arakurayama Sengen Park, climbing the steps to the five-story pagoda, and capturing the stunningly beautiful scene of Mount Fuji and the vermilion pagoda side by side. He pinpointed the perfect moment for photos at every spot. Afterwards, we visited the Tendai-do (ladder town), strolling along a beautiful path where Japanese streetscapes blend seamlessly with Mount Fuji, immersing ourselves in the local atmosphere. Our guide also provided detailed explanations of the history and features of each site, being both professional and friendly. In the evening, we headed to Lake Kawaguchi. The chosen viewing spot for the fireworks display offered an excellent view; the dazzling fireworks against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, reflected in the lake, added to the romance. The entire journey was comfortable and well-paced, and Kevin Liu provided attentive care throughout, making this trip full of surprises and wonderful memories. It's definitely the best choice for experiencing Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi!
Along the way, the tour guide patiently taught the children how to fold rabbits. The zoo is definitely worth visiting; it's open from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and you can feed up to 10 different animals (feed costs 100 yen). Our time at Oshino Hakkai and Oishi Park was less than an hour each, which felt a bit short. We got back to Shinjuku around 5 PM… I really wish we could have had an hour at each stop! 😊
The tour guide was very thoughtful and made excellent arrangements, taking care of everyone. It was also rare for the travel agency to provide two drivers. The entire itinerary was great, but the shopping stop at the end was too short. I wish it had been longer; we had to go back before we even got to where we wanted to buy anything.
Our tour guide was amazing! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also spoke fluent English, making the entire trip superb. The transportation was comfortable, and the sights he arranged showcased the beauty of Japan, especially the area around Mt. Fuji! Plus, the timing was perfect; we were lucky enough to see Mt. Fuji at every major attraction and took tons of photos. Overall, it was fantastic value and definitely the most recommended way to explore the Mt. Fuji area!
