Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, but the vehicle was incredibly small! Seventeen people were crammed into a minibus, with knees practically touching the seats in front. The 2.5-hour journey, including mountain roads, was extremely painful, and I was one of the shorter travelers! Also, the onsen facilities were rather old. The tour leader was excellent, communicating diligently with everyone and even helping with photos. (Itinerary for October 22, 2025: Nikko Shrine had no autumn leaves yet, Lake Chuzenji had autumn leaves, and Kegon Falls was slightly red.)

A day trip to popular spots around Mount Fuji in Japan is definitely worth it! It's very convenient to depart from Ginza, Tokyo. The guide is friendly and professional, and the itinerary is packed with activities, including the 5th Station of Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi, and surrounding attractions. The scenery along the way is magnificent, offering stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji. The bus is comfortable, and the timing is perfect, not too rushed. I especially loved the scenery and atmosphere of Lake Kawaguchi, which was very relaxing. Overall, the trip is high-quality and I highly recommend it to first-time visitors to Tokyo!

The staff were attentive and friendly, the seating was spacious and comfortable, and the meat and other food items were fresh; the meat quality was excellent value for money.

A variety of beef cuts, cooked in different ways, ensure you get the best and freshest experience. The raw beef has a tuna-like texture, and the shoulder meat melts in your mouth. The waiters don't speak Chinese, but their English is excellent, and they don't treat tourists with hostility; they smile throughout.

It was my first time riding a double-decker open-air sightseeing bus. I chose the Tokyo City Route, which quickly took me around the city's most popular areas, including Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, Roppongi, and Azabudai Hills, in about an hour and ten minutes. The bus also passed by Tokyo Tower, saving me a lot of walking and subway transfers. The bus also offered multilingual guides. It was a breezy autumn day, and the whole experience was truly satisfying.

The service was very good and the ride was smooth, but the stay at each attraction was a little short. I am already familiar with it and I can drive myself next time.
