Thankfully it was a great weather where we can see Mt. Fuji in different locations. Though at the end Mt. Fuji became shy and hid behind the clouds. Overall it was a nice and fun day and experience going to different locations to locations. Guide was also there to explain the locations and also can ask to take a photo of you on the locations.

Finally, I got a package tour to Lake Kawaguchi this time. The tour guide was very kind! I was also very lucky. The weather was not bad that day. I saw the spectacular scenery of Lake Kawaguchi and there were very delicious strawberries to buy. It is highly recommended!

Enjoyed the tour, with our tour guide, Anna. She was very organized. Messaged us a day before to give instructions. She was helpful. Made sure everyone was on time. We are glad thw weather was cooperative…. being cloudy for a bit but showing Mt Fuji most of the time

Our driver was excellent. Seamless service and easy to communicate with despite the language barrier, thanks to Google Translate. He even helped us speaking to the restaurant owner when we found out their place was closed for reservation (we managed to eat there in the end!) He even recommended what we should try at some of the places we visited.

I’m lucky that the weather is good today🌞I saw Mount Fuji in person. It was a great itinerary. We tried our best to visit many classic attractions in the tight time of the day trip. Thank you Xiao Ai for your attentive explanation and taking photos for us📷
