The bus arrived on time. The driver was very polite and would double check whether it was going to Narita Airport. The journey to the airport was smooth and point-to-point. No need to carry luggage.

We were very lucky to see the beautiful Mount Fuji during all our trips today. The tour guide Ben managed the trip time very well. The group time is inevitably tight, but through this trip, you can quickly get to know the scenic spots of Mount Fuji. 👍👍
