Shibuya Sky is a fantastic experience. It was beautiful to be able to see the city from such a view. What I found very tolerant and friendly was the fact that we were offered a free rescheduling to another day, since the rooftop area was closed due to rain all day.

I just happened to be going to buy some CHIFURE products. There is a specialty store at Odakyu Department Store Shinjuku, where you can enjoy tax exemption and use KLOOK's 5% off coupons. This is cheaper than buying it at a drugstore, super cost-effective!

Yui, our guide, was wonderful! Satou-San, the driver, flew on the road to get us to the Fifth Station of Mt. Fuji, the Gotemba Premium Outlets, and Hakone Ropeway to ride the pirate ship. We were fortunate that the weather was nice, so we saw Mt. Fuji a lot. Yui was well-prepared and organized, and made sure that the tour was enjoyable.
