Oshino Hakkai

it is a nice 1 day tour to mount fuji. We managed to cover all the places. Linda is a nice tour guide. The driver also drive carefully. Even in the initial plan it mentioned the lunch is self prepared, however, the tour guide usually will help to arrange the lunch. It is optional and the price range from 2000 yen to 3500 yen depend on what foods which range from vegetarian, karaage, wagyu beef or Unagi. Wagyu and Unagi will be 3500 yen while the others 2 options is at 2000 yen. Even thou it is a little bit pricier, but personally i think it worth it because the restaurant is clean and it also include free flow of drinks such as soft drink, coffee and tea.

Enjoy panoramic views of Mount Fuji all day long. Our guide, Yoon, who is fluent in both Chinese and Korean, recommended some great value snacks. A must-buy is the grapes from the foot of Mount Fuji – they're incredibly fragrant and sweet!

It was great value for money, and I was very lucky. Although it hadn't snowed on the mountaintop in October, it was still a worthwhile day trip. I highly recommend tour guide Xu Jin; his explanations were rich and detailed, making the trip even more wonderful.

The vehicle was very comfortable. The tour guide gave a casual, homely introduction to the sights and chatted, but not in a forced way. The sights were rather ordinary; considering it was a private tour, it wasn't bad for the price. We did manage to see Mount Fuji briefly.

The vehicle was new, and the driver was excellent. The only downside was the terrible weather.

The rain added to the atmosphere. Although I couldn't see Mount Fuji because it was hidden by clouds, it was a fun trip. I had a safe and enjoyable time. I recommend it again next time.

Our guide this time was Yuan Yang, and we also had a very handsome driver. Our first stop was Hakone, where we saw Hakone Shrine and the floating torii gates. We then took a pirate ship to Togendai Port, followed by a cable car to Owakudani. Along the way, we smelled sulfur and ate the legendary black eggs (4 for 500 yen). After that, we had lunch and did some shopping (it felt like the merchants were cooperating with us). The Japanese are really good at marketing; they can drive you crazy. Both the product appearance and the product itself were excellent. In the afternoon, we went to Oshino Hakkai, which is said to be a village of longevity, but things there were very expensive. Finally, we went to Lake Yamanaka to see the white geese. There were so many of them, but they were very fierce and wary of people. The day trip was quite tiring, but it saved us a lot of time.
