5.00I was slightly concerned at first with some of the negative reviews but after my tour with Lee I strongly recommend this. Get yourself internet connection in Japan so you can keep in touch with the guide throughout the trip. They offer multiple options to keep in touch. Be mindful of the call times at each stop so you don’t hold up the rest of the group. This is a touch and go tour, not an in-depth tour. The drive and traffic is bad. Expect it. If you can’t do long bus rides, take the train. Tip your guide. Fuji mountain sells itself. Get there and get immersed under its magnificent presence. Even the pre-arranged lunch can be enjoyable. There are always hidden spots for awesome photos instead of crowding the popular locations. I’m so glad that I was able to come on a sunny day. Beautiful and memorable trip.
Great day at Mt Fuji

5.00Evita was a wonderful tour guide, very outgoing and friendly. Well informed and shared a lot of great information and tips on the area. She and the driver were very friendly and ensured we all had a good time and were all on the bus (everyone made it safely there and back :) ). We had cloudy but nice weather, I'm grateful Mt. Fuji revealed herself by the end of our tour! I will definitely come again and stay at onsen next time as recommended!
