  • Don't rely on the start time in excursion details

    The excursion listing should update the meeting details to an accurate meeting time. The start time is set to 9am. We received a text 11 days in advance telling us the meeting time was 8:20 to 8:30. I got a call at 8:17 asking where we were and that they would not be waiting for us and told us not to come. We could have made it during the scheduled meet time, but were not given the option.

    Picked up directly from Kawaguchiko Station which was very busy with day trips and buses. Drove out to Aokigahara forest which was about 15 minutes. Guide was very informative and fluent. All safety precautions taken and was interesting to see the eerily quiet forest under the watch of Mt Fuji towering above. Cave was also pretty amazing to see

    The visit to a cave in Aokigahara forest was amazing. Our guide, Takasi, was very knowledgeable about the biodiversity of that area and provided a lot of interesting information throughout the trip.

  • Fun and unique activity!

    My husband and I traveled from Tokyo to Mt Fuji for this tour on the train. We met our guide Toshi at the station. We were the only two on the tour, so it was a private tour. Toshi stopped at a park before the entrance to the forest so we could use the restroom and take photos in front of Mt Fuji. Then we headed to the forest where, again, we were the only people there. Toshi explained all the trees, mushrooms and wildlife to us as we passed them. When we got to the cave, the real adventure began! We climbed down a stone wall to the cave entrance below. Then another ladder climb, and we were in. Once inside, our head lamps lit the way as we took in the ice and cave structures. Toshi was an excellent guide, showing us where to walk and explaining what the different features of the cave were. He also took 30+ photos for us, which he later air dropped after the tour. We also got to see his album of photos he’s taken of the different animals in the forest. Once we wrapped up, he dropped us back at the station so we could catch a train back. (Note: the buses were all sold out and so was the next express train so you may want to book your travel back to Tokyo in advance.) This tour was such a memorable experience, and we will cherish it for the rest of our lives. 10 out of 10!
