Even though we asked for an English speaking guide, we got a Chinese one that didn't speak English or any other language except Chinese. We didn't get a tour where there was any explanation about what we were about to see and the Japanese culture of it. We were barely able to communicate with our guide and the pickup situation was different than communicated in the e-mail. He was nice, but just dropped us off at the places and we had to figure it out ourselves. We won't book with TUI anymore.
Your adventure begins at Tokyo Station, followed by a secondary meeting point at Shinjuku Station. From there, you'll embark on a journey to Arakura Sengen Shrine and the Chureito Pagoda. A climb of 397 steps rewards you with an awe-inspiring view of Mount Fuji and the cityscape below—a truly iconic Japanese scene.
Next on your itinerary is Oshino Hakkai, a collection of eight crystal clear ponds filled by Mount Fuji's snowmelt. The traditional village setting, with Mt. Fuji as a backdrop, provides fantastic photo opportunities. Your journey continues to Oishi Park by Lake Kawaguchi. Depending on the season, you can either relish in the sight of vast lavender fields in full bloom during summer or admire the park's transformation into a sea of red kochia bushes in autumn—both offering a striking contrast against Mt. Fuji.
From late October to mid-November, you'll have the chance to visit the Momiji Corridor, where fiery autumn leaves beautifully frame the mountain. Please note that during this period, Oishi Park will not be included in your tour. Your final stop is the Healing Village at Lake Saiko. This traditional-style village features thatched-roof houses, workshops, souvenir shops, and cafés, perfectly recreating the charm of old rural Japan. Your return to Tokyo will be in the late afternoon, though please note that arrival times may vary due to traffic or weather conditions.
