This trip was an easy day excursion with lots of souvenir shop options. Our guide, Jack, was a helpful, attentive guide and was always making sure our group was on time. However, the trip itself felt quite long. 10 hours is a long day and about half of it is sitting on the bus. Jack told us that only 30% of the time can you partially see Mt. Fuji on a tour like this one. I wish I had known that detail prior to booking. That being said, it was disastrous weather the day we picked, full of rain and clouds, so we saw exactly nothing. Of course, we knew that was possible when booking a trip like this, it was just disappointing regardless. If possible, I recommend booking not so far in advance, so that you can look for a better day weather-wise. Ironically, the day before was lovely sunny weather. Not being able to see Mr. Fuji meant that the trip became a souvenir shopping extravaganza, which is great if that's what you're looking for. It is quite crowded, even on a bad weather day, so be sure to have cash on hand and try a black egg (delicious). I did like the Mt. Fuji water that you can drink straight from the source. It felt very special and unique. The tour was mostly self guided, so you hop off the bus and can explore until a designated time. Because the trip is such a long day and lunch is at 2 p.m., I recommend bringing a 7-11 snack with you. Overall, I think Jack did a good job keeping us going and I think, with the weather cooperating, this would be an extra nice experience for anyone looking to see Mt. Fuji. Just maybe buy a lottery ticket first!

Very nice outing in complete safety, with a very friendly guide (Laner Jin) who explained the day very well. Plan to do the "Onsen" activity in the afternoon, a truly immersive Japanese experience!

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.

I loved the kachikachi ropeway and the matcha making experience. The tour guide was very helpful and welcoming, and was great at explaining what was going to happen at every stop.
