5.00First experience in Japan, today I played in Mount Fuji. Splendid day, spectacular scenery with clear skies and accompanied by Naomi and Kurokawa, who made the day unforgettable, not only for their kindness, but also for all that she was teaching us, Naomi especially that was our guide today, of Japanese culture and how close, joyful and fun it is to transmit it. I would certainly repeat with her wherever I went in Japan
Great trip to Mt. Fuji

5.00Naomi's super professional. Not only does he speak Japanese, English and Spanish super well, but he masters cultural issues about Japan. She's pretty open and proactive. He answered each of our questions and gave us excellent recommendations ♡ The tour was very complete, the times he gave us were more than enough and we are grateful that we arrived in time to Tokyo to enjoy the rest of the day. Very punctual and very friendly. I highly recommend the tour and your guide.
