Our tour guide Sawaki was great, really friendly, informative, and impressive he could speak Japanese, English and Mandarin! He showed us some secret photo spots away from other tourists and shared lots of great local knowledge. The day ran smoothly and on time and we got plenty of time at each stop. The bus was comfortable too. Would recommend!

I had the best experience during the tour even though I went solo. Betty is an excellent tour guide. She provides clear instructions, entertains us with her stories and humor, and would suggest the best views of Mt Fuji. You will really feel being taken cared of.
