Kitaguchi-hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine

We had a wonderful private tour of the Fuji area with our guide Waqas who was punctual and knowledgeable of the area. Waqas messaged us the night before the trip to confirm hotel pickup and time, and arrived as scheduled. We had a private van which was spacious and comfortable. Despite the poor weather (and therefore no views of Mt. Fuji), the trip was wonderful. We planned to stop at five popular locations (Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, Kitaguchi-Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, Lake Kawaguchi and Oishi Park which were all magical in the snow); we had enough time for an additional stop. Waqas recommended Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba (Traditional Japanese Village), which was one of our favourite stops and a great recommendation from our guide. it looked straight out of a movie with the light dusting of snow. Waqas was flexible with our schedule, and asked when we wanted to stop for coffee/ lunch. 5 Star Trip. Thank you Waqas!
