Visited 3 places for Mount Fuji photo and 1 for food. Was quite foggy on the day, so we were only able to see a bit of the Fuji mountain.

Thanks to Master Xiao Zhao, the driving was smooth and on time. The features of relevant attractions can also be explained along the way, making this two-day chartered trip a smooth one. It can also help inform local specialty restaurants to satisfy your dietary needs. All I can say is "I'll make it when I meet you"

We would like to thank the tour guides for their meticulous explanations, which made us feel like not just tourists, but also cultural explorers. The professionalism of the guides enriched the whole journey, and their explanations deepened our understanding of each scenic spot. The guides were not just interpreters, but more like our friends. Their enthusiasm and humor filled the entire journey with laughter and warmth.

It was raining heavily that day and we couldn’t see Mount Fuji. The tour guide was so attentive and took good care of us! The driver is also great! Join us next time in Tokyo!

The service is attentive. The waiter will explain the type of each ingredient to us, and the food is served quickly. The beef is of good quality. I added some crabs and the shabu-shabu did not disappoint me.

It’s cheaper than buying on other platforms and easy to use. Just use the manual channel to enter every time, saving time on buying tickets! No regrets purchasing!

司導好準時到達，當天包車去箱根，遇到五百一遇大霧，路都睇唔清情況下，司機都好小心慢慢開，好穩定。雖然天氣唔好而有啲掃興，但包車體驗還是好好的，尤其是有長者及多人團，出行方便
