  This was a top notch experience. Our guide and driver were both very knowledgeable, kind and helpful with the entire tour. We went to places that large tour buses couldn’t go and had mostly locals there. We also had fantastic weather with amazing shots of Mount Fuji!

• Mt. Fuji short tour from Shimizu Port and Wasashi making

  A great small tour taking you to those hidden viewpoints that the larger groups don't go to (3 in total) followed by Wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet) making. Although Mt. Fuji was a little shy the day that we visited, we caught glimpses. Our guide, Kato and driver, Su-san were lovely and very engaging. Overall, a really enjoyable trip and one that I would recommend doing if you don't want to be out all day and want a more personalised experience.

  This is an excellent short tour of around 4.5 hours. If you want to see the real Japan without the thong of tourists this is your for you. We were taken off the beaten track to see a fantastic view of Mt Fuji - where no tourist bus could ever reach. This is an authentic experience of seeing shrimp drying in the sun, walking through a green tea plantation against the backdrop of Mt Fuji and Shimizu city below. Then it was off to the backstreets to Wagashi making experience - a traditional Japanese sweet. My wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. Kato san and his assistant Su-san were marvellous. We recommend this tour without hesitation. Thank you Kato and Su-san….from your grateful Aussies.

  Very nice tour. I would suggest to go on a clear, sunny day. Our guide was extremely nice but her English was not the best and her knowledge was limited as she read most of the info.

  The wagashi artisan was so kind and patient, and thanks to their guidance, I was able to make beautiful wagashi myself! Out of the two sweets I made, I enjoyed one with a cup of green tea—it was delicious. I took the other one back and proudly showed it to everyone on the cruise ship. They all said it looked beautiful! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and memory. I’ll definitely come again!

  It was a fantastic experience. I noticed that Wagashi is one of the Japanese culture. I can make Wagashi well because of a kind Wagashi master. I wish that I could attend this activity!
