After researching many day trips, I finally chose this tour for my family elders. The main reason was that most of the group members had already visited attractions around Mount Fuji, while the "Saiko Rigenbashi" stop on this tour was relatively rare and unique. Mid-November is the peak season for autumn foliage; the red leaves against the backdrop of traditional Japanese thatched-roof houses created a rustic scene that felt like stepping into a postcard, with different views at every turn. Our guide, Augustine, was incredibly attentive, not only helping us take photos and create lasting memories but also carefully explaining the history and features of the attractions along the way. The weather was also perfect; we saw a clear "inverted Fuji" view, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the vibrant autumn colors, ginkgo leaves, ripe persimmons, and the magnificent Mount Fuji from various angles – a truly moving experience. Overall, it was a journey full of surprises and beautiful scenery, highly recommended for anyone wanting to travel with family and experience different aspects of Mount Fuji.
The wildlife park was fantastic; the kids had a blast. It's a great option for people who don't like long journeys. However, the itinerary was too rushed, so we couldn't fully enjoy the scenery, which was a bit of a shame. Our guide, Casey, was very responsible.
Tour guide Alex was a detailed person. He shared many info with us when we reach each attraction spots. At the end of the trip, he also gifted a small gift for us. Good job Alex! Thank you and take care.
