Fujiyoshida

A very popular day trip, seeing the grandest Shibazaki, feeling shocked. Although it was a Saturday, there were many domestic and foreign tourists, but we were able to see the most beautiful shiba and the itinerary was in place. Some emergencies, the tour guide Diffany also handled appropriately, 讃! But there was also some sand and gravel in the itinerary, that is, some immature guests did not understand clearly that the itinerary did not include lunch time, but kept complaining about the tense atmosphere. Of course there are customers who don’t follow the rules. Not only late but also people bring strong smelling food on board which makes the tour guide difficult to do and the atmosphere is embarrassing. Another commendable is Mr. Driver's road etiquette, which has a small episode is that there is another car on the road for no reason often blocking the front of the tour bus, Mr. Driver has been allowed until safely drive away from each other, feeling the driver's response is considering the safety of passengers. But overall I think this is a tourist attraction worth visiting.

The driver and staff were polite and punctual – highly recommended! 👍🏼 Especially with the one-day pass! You can take the train to Shimoyoshida in the afternoon to see Mt. Fuji, then take the bus back to Fuji-Q Highland before heading back to Ueno. ✅

Unfortunately, we encountered rain on this trip, so we couldn't see Mount Fuji. However, the overall itinerary went smoothly, and the tour guide was very dedicated. Besides providing detailed explanations of the historical sites and anecdotes, he also helped us take beautiful photos. One of the stops was Saiko Nekyo, a place rarely included in other tour packages. The houses there are built in a style similar to Gassho-zukuri villages, making it well worth a visit.
