We had an unforgettable and wonderful day at Mount Fuji! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather with not a cloud in the sky, and the snow-capped peaks of Mount Fuji were clearly visible. We took countless beautiful photos to cherish. The entire trip was well-organized and efficient, and the guide's explanations were vivid and detailed, making the geography and history of Mount Fuji very interesting. We not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery but also gained a wealth of knowledge. This was a truly memorable trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Mount Fuji—it's absolutely worth it!
I was very lucky to have a good driver/guide and fellow tour members. I'm very grateful for the good weather on the first and second mornings. Mt. Fuji was truly beautiful, and the autumn leaves were already red. I took so many photos. The cable car ride up was also great for taking pictures, although it was crowded. I'm grateful to my companions for being understanding. I was completely absorbed in taking photos at every spot, and every single one was amazing! In the evening, we changed to a newer hotel. I was very fortunate that there were convenience stores and shopping malls (drugstores, supermarkets, etc.) nearby, so I did some more shopping. However, the room had central heating, so I had to open the window for ventilation, otherwise it would have been very stuffy. The restaurant was so-so. The hotel entrance had a view of Mt. Fuji. I took a few more photos before setting off. The next morning, Lawson's was also incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, I couldn't see McDonald's and the shopping street later, so I didn't climb the shrine. Overall, I was quite satisfied. I didn't have to think about planning the itinerary or transportation.
Overall, the itinerary was good, and the tour guide was very friendly. We were lucky that day, getting a clear view of Mt. Fuji's summit for several minutes from the 5th station, which was truly moving. However, the 90-minute stop at Gotemba Outlet meant we didn't get to visit many shops, which was a bit of a shame. Overall, though, it's still a very worthwhile trip!
