“The grouper was small and guide Tina was very helpful and good at explaining in English and Chinese. The trip to Hakone, cruise, cable car was over by 1 pm. Rat of the time was spent in gotemba outlet mall. View of Mt Fuji was obscured by the clouds. They say this is normally the case on south side of Fuji. So if seeing Fuji is the primary objective plan for Fuji station or kawaguchiko. For better chances of seeing Mount Fuji”

We soon found out the reason for the SIM swap was so he could argue with someone for 40 minutes at the first stop while we looked around. Second stop he did the same thing as well as texting while he was driving, sometimes way under the speed limit then over when he finished. Trouble at home…”
