Activities in Japan

I was very impressed with this trip. Our guide, Linda, was so kind. I don't speak English very well, but she tried to communicate in a way that was easy to understand. I really liked that. Today, we didn't get to see Mount Fuji because of the low-lying fog, but the cool weather made it easy to walk around, and the ice cream was delicious. Next time, I definitely want to see Mount Fuji! 🩷❤️

If you're taking the Sagano Romantic Train and then the Hozugawa River Boat Ride, it's best to allow an hour and a half between them. For example, if your train arrives at 11:00 AM, book the 12:30 PM boat ride. After getting off the train, there will be signs directing you through a tunnel to the bus stop. The bus will make a brief stop and then go directly to the Hozugawa River Boat Ride building. There's a small shop where you can buy snacks and drinks; definitely buy something to drink, as the boat shop won't appear for about an hour and a half after you board. The boatman on our trip was very entertaining, likely a veteran, and interacted well with the passengers. When we encountered rapids, he would playfully warn passengers about a little splashing. You won't get completely soaked, as there are tarps for cover. Throughout the journey, the boatman spoke a mix of Japanese and short English phrases, and also used gestures to point out the local wildlife. The boat ride is spectacular and highly recommended.

what a fantastic day trip to see Mount Fuji. We got really lucky with the weather and Fuji was clearly visible all day. We were taken to all the best vantage points to get the best photos and were allowed just the right amount of time at each. Jeffery our guide was excellent, he was easy to find at the meeting point and at the arranged time and he took us to the most amazing restaurant for lunch. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Japan.

Jeffrey was a great guide—and the stops were phenomenal! I mean wow. We got lucky and picked a day with perfect visibility so i mean we just lucked out. Glad to have had such a friendly guide on this trip :) i’ll be coming back for sure

nice and experience tour guides. there are two ladies tour guides. one is a chinese speaking and the other is a english speaking. i can say that this is the best package if you want to see mt fuji at yr nearest sight, provided you are lucky enough that there is nt a cloudy day.
