The tour guide spoke so... - The tour guide spoke so many languages and was able to explain the history behind many sites we passed by and the sites we visited. All in all, a great day trip and we were lucky enough to snap a few photos of Mount Fuji.

Excellent trip - Overall it was a pleasant trip. Driver was very kind and professional. Excellent driving skills of the driver is worthy of note. Made us very comfortable throughout our trip. Only negative was the meeting point mentioned in our itenary which we followed was not known by the driver. We waited for a considerable amount of time at the meeting point in the morning and had trouble getting the driver to pick us up from that spot as the driver was expecting us at another pick up point at Tokyo station. Eventually this was sorted out and the driver picked us up from the spot where we were waiting.

Saw what I wanted to see! - This was pretty much what I wanted! We saw Fuji, ate tonkatsu, wandered some pretty gardens by the lake. It wasn’t so much a tour, as the driver dropped us at certain points and waited for us. That suited me fine! The onsen was why I chose this particular tour and it was very relaxing. Really long drive back through winding roads but if you can sleep it’s no problem.

Trip to Mt Fuji and its surrounding area - The sites were lovely and our guide, Marafa, was wonderful in allowing a slow travel thru the region. He gave us ample time at each site to explore and take pictures. We had lunch which allowed 1 of 4 choices. The trip ran seamlessly well.

Mount Fuji and Onsen tour - Anna was our guide, she took us to see Mount Fuji and we got to soak in an onsen. Our favorite part was the onsen.

Very average. - Before booking our trip to japan my partner and I read numerous reviews of tour guides that could speak 3 languages, our tour guide, more like an uber driver, only spoke Chinese the entirety of the tour. He was very nice, trying to accommodate, however he only spoke to the rest of the group because they were Chinese too, we felt forgotten. He was talking most of the time during the mini van rides, still we could not understand, although we could understand that a lot of the time it was casual conversation about other things other than the tour between the other guests. At the end of the tour, he apologised to us but we don’t know what he was sorry for. Most of the tour ended up being driving around, with barely any site seeing, out of the 10 hours of the tour, we spent 2.5 hours outside of the mini van. The 5th station, we spent 30 minutes, which was barely enough time to do anything other than eat a snack and look at a cloudy and non existent mount fuji. We were under the impression there would be some kind of walk/hike, and were unaware we were even at the 5th station. When we got into the mini van for the last time, we weren’t even made aware that we were heading home. Aside from this, the highlight would have to be the onsen, spent an hour there, which was lovely, but could’ve been more time considering we were told a certain time and our driver came late, so we sat outside waiting. Overall, I would recommend this tour to people of Chinese descent looking for a good chat.

Disappointed - Unfortunately Mt Fuji 5th Station was closed. The problem is that they knew before getting on the bus and didn’t tell us until we were already on our way. The other stops were lackluster as well, basically tourist traps for shopping, which I had already done in Tokyo. Our sole purpose of the tour was to go up Mt Fuji, so very disappointing.
