This was one of the most special days! Doing this tour with Shawn is a must, he is absolutely incredible. And it’s his company and only him so you’ll be sure to get him. He told us the plan for the day and drove us to Mt. Fuji. When we got to the original first stop we couldn’t see it due to clouds so we kept going and he gave us some options of different caves to see. We then went to the most beautiful spot that overlooked the water and Mt. Fugi and were able to finally see it. He set up for a BBQ and sake tasting (with sake made from the water at Mt. Fuji). I had read reviews that the BBQ was amazing but this is another level. The food Shawn cooked for us was incredible - honestly some of the best food we had on our trip and we love to try all different spots! Shawn then took us to a sake brewery since we loved the sake tasting so much to buy some. We then went to a beautiful waterfall to see Mt. Fuji from another angle. Shawn then gave us a gift from the day and recommendations for spots to try on our trip. Honestly this is a MUST, it’s unlike any tour we’ve ever done! Thank you Shawn for such a special day!

We had an amazing day with Shawn - he knew exactly where to get us perfect views of Fuji and the lunch at Motosu Lake was unforgettable. He adjusted our schedule to avoid crowds and was able to accommodate a trip to see the Shibazakura. He is also a great photographer and just all around awesome guy to talk to. I can’t say enough great things about this trip. We will be back for a separate trip with Shawn for sure!’

This day tour was amazing! Shawn our tour guide was so friendly, we had great chats all the way to our destination. We saw My Fuji from many locations - and although it was a little hazy on the day, Shawn did his absolute best to show us the views. The food he cooked was delicious, and it was perfect just sitting at the lake eating and looking straight ahead to Mt Fuji. Highly recommend.
Shawn was the best guide....
