I wanted to go to Gotemba, which is incredibly far, but if I went on my own, I could only visit one place. This itinerary included a brief matcha experience, a visit to Asama Shrine, and a full three-hour shopping trip. Carrying my things back was less tiring, and I was lucky enough to see Mount Fuji very clearly. The tour guide was also excellent. The only downside is that the meeting point might be challenging for beginners, as Shinjuku Station is huge…
We recently took the Mt. Fuji and Gotemba day tour, and it was a really good experience largely thanks to our incredible guide, 飘香.
Her communication was top-tier. She was able to switch between Korean and Chinese seamlessly and provided sufficient information at every attraction.
She was professional yet warm, always had a smile when communicating with us and giving ample notice on when to gather so we stayed on schedule as best as the situation allowed.
Her food suggestions at the Oshino Hakkai was good!
The highlight of her service, however, was during our return to Tokyo. We encountered a heavy traffic jam, which can be draining, but 飘香 showed genuine concern for everyone’s comfort. She remained helpful and attentive until the very end, making a tough commute feel manageable.
Had a great time and only wished we had more time to shop at Gotemba Outlets!
