5.00Johnny was hilarious and accommodating! We had so much fun during his tour. It was raining the entire day so we couldn't visit a few places we wanted. But he had a back up plan for us! A few entry tickets were included in the tour, which was very surprising. We went with a later start time because it was raining. The tour was 10 AM - 4 PM. We will definitely book him again next time we're in Fujikawaguchiko. Highly recommended! Thank you, Johnny!
Top tour of our Japan trip!

5.00What a brilliant day touring with Johnny! All hot spots visited were Johnny’s secret places. No better way of touring the Fuji area than with Johnny. Great photography and he papped us all day and sent photos after the tour. Also a great guy to chat to throughout the day and easy company. I would 100% recommend this tour and worth every penny.
Wonderful day

5.00I was at Kawaguchi with my family and we had a wonderful time with Johnny. He managed to show spots we didn’t know from a previous tour we did. We are very happy with the tour.
