We were very lucky to be able to see Mount Fuji since according to statistics it can only be seen 80 days a year. The guide was super good in his explanations and comments. I believe that in the advertising of the tour it is necessary to warn that you should wear mountain clothing (hat, gloves, scarf and a good jacket) to withstand the strong gusts that occur in the viewpoint. A visit to the mall seems unnecessary.

I enjoyed on this activity as the trip was smooth and weather is perfect. I saw a lot of picturesque view. The group is also very considerate unlike my other experience on a group tour, most of the time we wait for late comers. In addition the tour guide is very accommodating and funny . thanks for great experience Domo Arigato

The guide is very good and she did good job to go beyond. She helped us to catch our train afterwards. Thanks!
