It saves a lot of time waiting for buses, changing buses, and walking during the trip. You can chat and confirm attractions on the bus, and sleep whenever you want—it's so convenient!
A must-do at least once in a lifetime, here I come! The itinerary was well-planned, the time was well-managed, the tour leader was very responsible, and the team was well taken care of. The only downside was that the group activity resulted in more waiting time and a slower pace.
A very fulfilling day trip! We met early in Shinjuku, making the trip convenient and easy. We then took a bus to Lake Yamanaka, Mt. Fuji, to ride a swan boat. The scenery of Lake Yamanaka was absolutely beautiful. The itinerary was well-planned, with just the right amount of time spent at each stop. I was very lucky to see Mt. Fuji with its "hat" (referring to its distinctive shape), as this was the first time I'd seen the complete Mt. Fuji from so many visits. We went up to the 5th station. Remember to bring a windproof jacket! The view of Mt. Fuji from the Oishi Park direction was stunning. We also had a delicious lavender ice cream. I highly recommend this trip. Our guide, Ms. Feng, provided detailed and clear explanations. I recommend this trip for families or independent travelers to include a day trip in your itinerary.
Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent, providing explanations in English, Canadian, and Chinese.
Although the weather wasn't great and we couldn't see the entire Mt. Fuji, it wasn't my first time here anyway.
It's just that some stops at certain attractions were a bit too short. That's the downside of group tours.
Although this wasn't our first time booking airport transfers, we still found it very convenient. We didn't have to worry about how to get to our accommodation after landing, and the driver didn't chatter around, which allowed us to rest a bit, which was great.
