Good price for all the places you visit, and the Kobe beef lunch was transcendently delicious! The amount of time spent at each stop is a little off - too much at the lunch place, too little everywhere else. Being able to attend one of the craft workshops at one of the stops would have been wonderful, for example, but with less than an hour, it wasn’t possible. Would have appreciated more historical background re: Mt Fuji and the surrounding area. Plenty of bathrooms and shopping opportunities. Very difficult to find our tour guide initially - everyone on the tour was split into 3 buses, multiple tour companies use blue flags, and the meeting point was actually north of the LOVE sculpture.

Nice trip to the lakes and to Chureito Pagoda. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day so not ideal for witnessing the elusive mt. Fuji. Still, a relaxing day trip from the hustle of Tokyo

The tour was ok. Basically you pay for a bus ride. No commentary, no education. They bring you in the place, take food order (was ok) and take you back. Probably cheaper than doing it yourself though - so educate yourself and take this tour.
