Highly recommended! tour guide Amanda was friendly and cheerful throughout the trip. She explained to us the itinerary and told us where to go to take beautiful photos of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko. She also bought us mochi ice cream as a gesture to introduce us to the culture of Japan. We managed to get an amazing view of Mount Fuji and even stopped by the famous Lawson at that area.

Really enjoyed it. The day was raining so we only got a peak at Mount Fuji but the places we stopped were still beautiful

The tour guide was very kind and efficient in leading the tour. Because the traffic jam on the road affected the entire trip, the tour guide still tried his best to arrange for us to go to almost every scenic spot to achieve the highest CP value.

I recently took the scenic route tour organized on 26th Oct 2024 and I wanted to share my feedback. Overall , I have a fantastic time to enjoy the atmosphere for every scenic view. But one suggestion would be to allow a little more time at each stop, especially at the lookout point, as we felt rushed to get back on the bus. Finally, tour guide(Yuan) is very helpfull and friendly. Thanks for everthing.
