This one-day tour of Mount Fuji included Asama Shrine, Oshino Hakkai, Lawson convenience store, Kawaguchiko Tenjō Park, and another Lawson convenience store (passing by). While it might seem like there weren't many attractions, the itinerary was actually quite tight. The itinerary was slightly adjusted, with the cable car station moved to the very end to avoid long queues, which I found very thoughtful.
Throughout the trip, I'm very grateful to our tour guide, Sun Fei, for her guidance and explanations. She diligently explained everything on the bus, even providing both Chinese and English versions for our diverse group. Besides introducing the entire itinerary, she also shared various tidbits about Japanese life, which were incredibly helpful.
Upon arrival, the guide continued to explain the sights and share tips to make our trip even smoother. For example, at the cable car station, she repeatedly reminded us to hurry to the cookie shop at the foot of the mountain to buy some before they sold out; and along the walking path to Oshino Hakkai, she was worried we might get lost, so she carefully pointed out the various forks in the road to prevent us from getting lost.
In addition, I particularly noticed that for travelers with strollers, the tour guide went around to the back to remind the parents that there was a ramp available, saving them the trouble of carrying the stroller up the steps. This showed great care and consideration for everyone.
Overall, it was a well-organized and fulfilling trip. Thank you again to our tour guide, Sun Fei. And thank you for the good fortune that allowed us to see Mount Fuji. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the future, and I would also consider joining us for other trips or at other times (such as spring or winter)!
This was my first time taking a day trip to Mount Fuji, and overall I had a great experience! The scenery along the way was beautiful, with Mount Arakura and Lake Kawaguchi being particularly photogenic. The itinerary was well-planned, and our guide, Andy, provided clear explanations. It was a very fulfilling day, and I highly recommend it!
Director Olivia kindly introduced the itinerary and even suggested places to buy products with good value for money. The whole trip was relaxed, and the weather was perfect. Although we didn't see Mount Fuji in its entirety, we'll definitely have a reason to visit again! 👍
