Shawn was a great guide. He knew the best spot to bring us to and Mount Fuji came out to play on our tour. The Bbq lunch was such a unique touch to the experience. Highly recommend this tour!
Perfect Tour!

10/10 would recommend! Shawn was a great tour guide! Private tours are more expensive but definitely worth it. Especially since you’re not guaranteed to see Mt. Fuji, it’s great to have other sight seeing spots incorporated in the day. The BBQ lunch was excellent as well!

Sean was a wonderful guide. He did everything he could to accommodate us, showed us the best places to see Mt. Fuji. Even without Mt. Fuji it is a beautiful part of the country. The picknick barbecue he made for us was an unexpected and wonderful surprise.

The experience with Shawn was extraordinary, both because of his choice of beautiful, unique, and uncrowded locations and because of his friendliness and openness to conversation. A friend of ours even asked him to arrange a special surprise for our honeymoon, and he proved to be extremely helpful and genuinely kind to us. In addition to being incredibly personable, he is also an excellent cook—everything was absolutely delicious! It’s an experience we will definitely repeat with him in the future during the momiji season.

A wonderful experience to admire this marvel of nature from perfect spots, ideal also for taking plenty of memorable photos. Shawn’s guidance and availability were impeccable: with kindness, friendliness, and great attention, he shared lots of information and interesting facts about Mount Fuji and the surrounding area, and prepared an exceptional outdoor lunch.The tour is therefore highly recommended, and I will definitely do it again in the future to admire the same landscapes in a different season.
Best way to see Mt. Fuji if you love food and nature!

This is the best tour! We had an amazing day with Shawn. He knew the best sites to get a good view of Mt Fuji without the crowds. You stop at beautiful lakes and a waterfall so you have a gorgeous view even if Mt. Fuji decides to be shy and hide in the clouds. He is a great chef. The lunch he served was beautiful and delicious. Highly recommend you add the Sake to your lunch. He brought us to some nice places to pick up locally made gifts. He goes the extra mile in absolutely everything and is so kind. He is a safe and comfortable driver. We went with our children and it was a nice, restful day to take a break from the city.
A Rainy yet great trip out of the city.

My family and I were very fortunate to be able to book with Shawn at the last minute. We all met at Nakano station on time and were swiftly on our way to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji. I can't say enough great things about Shawn. From the moment we got in the car Shawn was very interactive and social with everyone. We spoke about Mt. Fuji, food, music and everything Japan. Thankfully we had an absolutely beautiful day and got amazing views and pictures of Mt. Fuji. Shawn shared some local spots with us that were less crowded and offered beautiful views. He was so patient and kindly took all the pictures we asked of him which was so nice. The lunch Shawn prepared was delicious and went very well with the sake tasting that he also has as an option. We toured the waterfalls near by which were stunning and another spot for cherry blossoms that was breathtaking. I highly recommend booking with Shawn as guide. He is a great person who loves his job and cares about providing the best tour possible.
