The activity was well structured and was very enjoyable. Time at the Mt Fuji was a bit restricted but aware that there had been issues on the highway which reduced our time but we got to do most of if not all of the activities. The meal was amazing just a shame we did not get to see the drum show. Nothing can anticipate the weather in seeing Mt Fuji - but the experience overall was amazing and will recommend to people in the future.

We had a wonderful tour to the Mount Fuji area with our guide, Kousei. From the very start, he was friendly and cheerful, making everyone feel welcome. He explained the plan for the day and gave clear directions for meeting points, which made everything run smoothly. Kousei knew all the best spots for photos and was always happy to take pictures for us. He also answered every question with great knowledge and enthusiasm. One of the highlights of the day was trying the famous black egg, and we felt especially lucky to enjoy such clear visibility of Mount Fuji – a truly unforgettable sight! Overall, it was an excellent experience and we would highly recommend this tour, especially with Kousei as your guide.

I love the fact the tour guide we went with had last minute spaces available. We had a choice of shopping or hot springs however that was only 2 hours. I would have liked 3 hours. The lunch was extra we had to pay. We had the unagi was disappointing. Bland. Perhaps the ramen would have been better.
