Absolutely fantastic! The tour guide and driver were wonderful! They were great at navigating the itinerary! It was a little disappointing that we didn't get to ride bicycles at Lake Yamanaka because it was too cold.
Surprisingly, only six of us set off. Our guide/driver (?) was incredibly helpful, providing excellent service throughout the journey, introducing the scenery of Mount Fuji, and constantly chatting with us. When it was time to return to the city, he enthusiastically recommended local restaurants. We were so lucky to be on a small group tour, so we didn't have to worry about too many people. And it was perfect timing that our driver was Taiwanese! 😝 Fantastic! 🥹
The meeting point was a bit chaotic (there were too many tour guides), and the time allotted for the attractions was a little too short, which was a bit of a shame. Tour guide Jin Liping was gentle and humorous; highly recommended!
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!
