Fantastic Private Tour of Fuji and the Lakes

5.00The tour started on a positive note with the guide arriving ahead of scheduled time. He could speak good English and we learnt more about the region as the Japanese way of living. We visited Lake Yamanaka, the ever popular Chureito Pagoda which has the Mount Fuji as its backdrop, Fujiyoshida Retro Shopping Street, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, Saito Iyashi no Nemba and finally West Lake (Saiko). We would definitely come back to Fuji a third time!

5.00Ryo and Forest Kraft Outdoors was such an incredible experience! We mentioned a few areas that we wanted to visit and he put together an itinerary for the entire day! This included visiting lakes, shrines, and hiking. It was a great way to see everything we wanted with an experienced, knowledgeable, and very kind tour guide. We highly recommend Forest Kraft Outdoors!
Great time!
