Great trip that was well organized and with a very good guide. Amount of time spent at different locations was very reasonable. The only bit that was not quite there for me was the mall part (But it is pretty unique so I could see plenty of people liking it, olus we had the option to go to an onsen nearby for those who didn't want to shop which was a great spot).

Highly recommend this tour. You'll see different vantage points of Mt. Fuji, all stunning. I opted for the wagyu beef lunch was not disappointed.

Everything was very organized and on time. All instructions are very clear and easy to follow, no need to be intimidated when booking this tour!

Great tour guide, well organized and beautiful placed to explore.

Given a chance i will do this again , i really enjoyed it.
