Our guide was super friendly and kind. The tour covers most of good spots near lake Kawaguchiko, and if it were not for the tour we wouldn't have covered all of nice spots in a day. Also, the food we chose-Hotpot with beef was surprisingly good.

Great experience! Definitely sign up for the meal included tour!! Maybe bring a bottle of water. Bring cash! Our tour guide, Chin, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our bus driver was skillful and pleasant. The bus was comfortable and had leg room!! The best part was we had time to explore each stopping point without being rushed! A big plus!! And each stopping point had plenty of clean bathrooms- another plus.
