10/10 recommend!
Thank you to our guide Tetsu and our driver! It was our groups first time visiting Mount Fuji and we were lucky enough to see the top! The views were breathtaking at each location we went to. It was a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We had to change some of our itinerary and Tetsu was very flexible and transparent in terms of timing and avoiding the crowd. Thank you so much for making our first trip to Mount Fuji memorable!

Flexible family trip to Fuji area
The tour was flexible and accommodating to our kids. We had 5 kids in our group
(15,13,12,11,8). We had a great time taking in the Fuji landscapes, breathing fresh air and the tour guide patiently answered all of our questions about Japan.

We loved our tour. Great locations for stunning views of cherry blossoms and Mt Fuji. Was nice to visit a quieter temple also without the crowds.

A fun trip!
Tetsu and Kay were a fantastic guide duo on our trip to Mt. Fuji. Tetsu lead us though a fantastic trip to sacred waterfalls, a shinto shrine, a traditional japanese village, crystal clear lakes, and more. Fuji-san is more than a mountain after our trip!

Stunning views and nature around MtFuji, most lovely guide!
Satsuki took us to places with stunning views of Mt Fuji, she and the driver were very kind and knowledgable. For instance, we were able to skip long lines everywhere due to their knowledge of when to go. Also Satsuki was very helpful in finding lunch with vegetarian food.

Day trip to Mount Fuji
We had booked a day trip to enjoy the surroundings of Mt. Fuji with our guide Keita. It was very enjoyable from the start. We are quite demanding and do not like the obvious tourist attractions. Keita managed to surprise us with a great lunch, changed the schedule half way and took us to a very nice coffee shop at the end. Overall a great day and we highly recommend Keita as a guide.

Awesome experience with Rie!
Rie was absolutely an incredible host/guide. We had such a great experience and she and the driver took care of us at every step along the journey. She customized everything to our preferences and we enjoyed learning about the history of Japan and Mount Fuji. If you are in a wheelchair or have someone in your party who needs one, this is the tour for you. I would request Rie as she is the best!!!!
