I honestly wish I knew about this the first time I came to Tokyo. It saved me so much money. I still needed the suica card for JR lines, but the fact that I had unlimited access to the Tokyo Metro lines was mind blowing. Would definitely recommend and do this again and again on my next trip to Japan.

Had an amazing Mt. Fuji tour with Wennie! She’s super lively, warm, and accommodating. The itinerary was really good, and she even shared great photo tips so we could take shots without the crowd. Loved her restaurant and food recommendations too! Definitely booking another tour with her next time. Highly recommend!
