The itinerary was great, the tour guide Kishida was very enthusiastic, and the itinerary was very fulfilling. It would have been best if we had a little more time! We were originally scheduled to arrive at 5 o'clock, but it became 7 o'clock due to traffic jam. We missed the subsequent itinerary. I hope the tour group will mark this point on the itinerary 🥲 But overall I was very happy!

We had not originally planned to go there, but suddenly my wife said she wanted to take the cable car to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji. I directly opened the App to book and purchase the tickets. It was super convenient. My wife was also surprised and said how convenient it was.

It was a well organized and interesting tour. In just one day we visited 6 interesting places and took many beautiful photos. Our guide Ethan told us many interesting facts, answered all the questions and was simply great, he not only speaks excellent Chinese and English, but also sings wonderfully. Thank you for the trip)
