I wanted to see Mt. Fuji, but I applied because it was hard to go to each photo spot! The guide was very kind and spoke Korean well, so I had a comfortable and enjoyable trip! I also liked the explanations about ice cream flavors and souvenirs, and I asked for pictures, and they took them well! I got on at Tokyo Station, but I could get off at Shinjuku, so I got off at Shinjuku and continued sightseeing! I highly recommend it. ㅎㅎ
