5.00Plenty to see during the trip. First pick up was easy. Lovely, the tour guide, shared Japanese history and culture through the ride to Mt Fuji. The Mt. Fuji on site visit was very nice. We had ample time to admire the views, breathe and purchase some souvenirs. Next it was the trip to Hakone. We arrived at the Shinobi Camp. There was plenty of food, and drinks available and the walk through the garden with some picture taking was a nice break. We then proceeded to the Gondolas. More fun, the pictures of the sulfur vents and the center and cafe were nicely laid out. The black fried curry bread was delicious. Finally the Gondola ride down the boat, with amazing views. The pirate boat ride was very nice. The lake, the mist, the clouds, the Tori, the buildings by the lake, beautiful and calm. It has been a full day with moments, a very capable and engaging “Lovely” tour guide.
A Must Do!

5.00Plenty to see during the trip; lots of photos. First pick up was easy. Lovely, the tour guide, shared Japanese history and culture through the ride to Mt Fuji. The one hiccup was a family with loud kids in the front so we couldn’t always hear clearly what she was saying (maybe make a no kids available, or at least teenagers and up, surprisingly all of the other kids on board were well behaved. The Mt. Fuji on site visit was very nice. We had ample time to admire the views, breathe and purchase some souvenirs. Next it was the trip to Hakone. More good or funny stories. We arrived at the Shinobi Camp. There was plenty of food, and drinks available and the walk through the garden with some picture taking was a nice break. We then proceeded to the Gondolas. More fun, the pictures of the sulfur vents and the center and cafe were nicely laid out. The black fried curry bread was delicious. Finally the Gondola ride down the boat, unfortunately the family with the loud kids, the young boy in particular, kept yapping and interrupted what would have been some peaceful and memorable views. The pirate boat ride was very nice. The lake, the mist, the clouds, the Tori, the buildings by the lake, beautiful and calm. It has been a full day with moments, a very capable and engaging “Lovely” tour guide and one blemish no fault of the tour or the guide.
Weather held out and very informative guide

5.00What an incredible experience! Levin was our tour guide and what can I say, he was top notch! Super knowledgeable, seems to know his Japanese history very well and was beyond professional. Levin spoke with confidence and leadership, making everyone pay attention and best of all, everyone was on-time because of him. No stragglers! Thanks Levin for your contagious smile and laughter, highly recommended! Dee was about $160 usd. We visited Tokyo for roughly 4 days and then into other cities. Atmosphere was lively and friendly. Best for tour guides to Mount Fuji. Thank you.
Great Tour!!
