The pickup shuttle was great, followed by a short wait to get to our designated buses to carry on the tour. As I was travelling alone, I met many nice and friendly people, including our guide who spoke perfect English! Although we did not get to see Mount Fuji while cruising on Lake Ashi, we had already taken a beautiful picture of Mount Fuji when it was still clear earlier in the day. Thanks to our bus driver and guide who made an emergency stop just for us to catch that perfect view! Many jokes were cracked throughout the day which made the tour perfect, all the way back to Tokyo with the guide too who made sure that everyone knows the way back to the hotel. He does not take no for an answer, he made doubly sure. Oh ya! Do remember to ask your guide to introduce "melody road" and also sing the Mount Fuji song! What can I say The trip was puuurrrr-fect! Picture perfect!
