Good but wish we got to go to Mt Fuji
Unable to go to MT Fuji 5th station due to weather (snowy roads), but the Outlet mall had some nice views of Mt Fuji.

Totally worth the upgrade from a guided bus tour
Our driver Shan provided us with an excellent tour of the Mt Fuji area. He arrived well in-time to collect from our hotel, knew how to avoided crowded areas, understood the weather around Fujisan to help us get great clear photos. He was knowledgeable about all the places to visit and helped with getting tickets etc. His vehicle is clean and modern and though there were only four of us it would comfortably seat six. Thank-you Shan for a very memorable day.

Great experience and great guide
This was a great tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took a ton of photos of us for us. The driver was great, the van super clean and comfortable. The trip from Tokyo to Fuji can take a bit so plan accordingly.
