"Early Morning Shinjuku and Day Bus Tour to Shizuoka (A)"

I like trains and so hadn't ever tried taking a bus tour anywhere, but have taken two trips in the past couple of months - most recently to Shizuoka.  Following a few early-morning scenes - one at Ogawa Station and the other two in Shinjuku - are several video clips from the one-day bus tour to Shizuoka I took; part of a Club Tourism guided tour entitled: "Special Recommended Tour (Mt. Fuji & Strawberry) - Tour code: 05581".)
