We weren't really happy with this tour. We expected a tour to Mt Fuji. We got somewhat close to Mt Fuji but never what I would call to a picture spot - very disappointing. Then we spent time at an outlet mall full of stores that we could go to in the US. I would rather have spent more time going to a better spot to see Mt Fuji and at the later stop Hakone which was a great spot - too little time. It was also advertised as a English led tour. Our guide had limited English skills
