The tour leader and guide were very attentive, explaining all the local customs and traditions. Mount Fuji was shrouded in clouds for most of the day. Fortunately, in Oshino Hakkai, the tour leader informed us that the mountain had reappeared, allowing us to quickly take a picture. Soon after, it disappeared back into the clouds.
This was my first time taking a day trip to Mount Fuji, and overall I had a great experience! The scenery along the way was beautiful, with Mount Arakura and Lake Kawaguchi being particularly photogenic. The itinerary was well-planned, and our guide, Andy, provided clear explanations. It was a very fulfilling day, and I highly recommend it!
The one-day trip on September 1st cost more than the round trip for two people to Kawaguchiko. The cheap price, coupled with a very humorous and kind tour guide, made this trip truly worthwhile. I'm so grateful to our guide, Zhang Jie, especially for his hilarious Chinese accent; otherwise, I probably would have slept the whole way. I urge the boss to give Zhang Jie a raise! It's rare to find a tour guide who can talk all day without forgetting to be funny and explain history. The itinerary was well-planned, and there was no traffic congestion. The tight schedule was inevitable, given how long a day is, but we still had a great time. The only downside was being taken to a restaurant at lunchtime (the downstairs sold souvenirs). It's not that I dislike shopping at these partner stores, but it would be better if this was clearly stated in the itinerary. I understand that companies need to make money with buy-one-get-one-free offers, so they need related marketing. I think most people aren't afraid to spend money when traveling, but I was severely carsick that day and had no appetite. However, I was worried about bothering the tour guide, so I still ordered lunch. As for souvenirs, I had already bought a lot of cosmetics elsewhere, so I really couldn't buy any more. If they had informed me beforehand, I think it would have been more acceptable, as some people can't stand shopping and forced spending. But overall, it was quite perfect – the tour guide was perfect, the price was perfect, and the itinerary was perfect! ✌️
