Mt. Fuji Day Trip: Lake Kawaguchi & Oshino Hakkai
The vehicle was very comfortable. The tour guide gave a casual, homely introduction to the sights and chatted, but not in a forced way. The sights were rather ordinary; considering it was a private tour, it wasn't bad for the price. We did manage to see Mount Fuji briefly.

Tokyo Double-Decker Open-Air Sightseeing Bus Ticket | Japan
The scenery was beautiful, but unfortunately the Tokyo Tower rushed by, and it wasn't the classic golden light.

Japan Mt. Fuji One-Day Tour | Kawaguchiko, Oshino Hakkai, Gotemba Outlet, Optional Onsen Experience (Departing from Tokyo Ginza)
The rain added to the atmosphere. Although I couldn't see Mount Fuji because it was hidden by clouds, it was a fun trip. I had a safe and enjoyable time. I recommend it again next time.
