The tour guide was very friendly, punctual, and had a lot of information. He explained it to us. The itinerary was introduced in Chinese. He gave me a straw cake when I was the most hungry. Haha, it tasted delicious!

We went to a day tour (Route 1) for Mt. Fuji. Despite being met with severe traffic we were still able to go as per schedule without having to miss one. Scenic views, good weather, good clearing of mt Fuji. Our tour guide, Tim, was superb - very friendly, helpful, very knowledgeable and insightful of Japan. Highly recommended

travelled in mini van. small group size and easy to move around. tour mates are all very nice people. tour guide, Ms kim li ping, and driver, Mr wang chao, were helpful. the onsen hotel stay was quite an uncomfortable stay, felt like it's managed and run by non Japanese. the 10,000yen beef (200g) add-on during dinner at the onsen hotel wasn't good too. the tour itinerary was not bad, though I would prefer to have more time at mt fuji area then at endoshima area. happy that fuji mountain wasn't "shy" on one of the days so we got a good glimpse at it. but it wasn't snowing then so the mountain looks bare.

Great experience. Make sure to get this pirate ship inclusion. for the village tour, the guide will encourage you to have the lunch but it is better to try the local meals in the village. it should also give you more time to explore the village. the queue in the Tori is very long so just be creative with taking photos at an angle without the need to queue up.
