  The tour run by Our Reliable Partners was a very professionally run company. The manager Hirokane was excellent in communicating with us on exactly where our meeting point would be. When we disembarked the ship he was already waiting for us. We rode in a spacious comfortable air conditioner car with a professional driver Ted. Our tour guide Hiroko was a licensed guide who spoke excellent English. We covered a lot of ground from taking Ropeway to temples, tea farm, the pine forest and of course the observation deck to see Mt Fuij. Hiroko was very knowledgeable about all the sites visited and the culture and history of Japan. Both Hiroko and Ted always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. They brought us good luck for we got to see the very shy Mt Fuji and of course took many memorable photos. We highly recommend this tour and want to thank Hiroko and Ted for a special day. R & R

  Great tour! Communication before the trip was excellent. We were picked up at the port and enjoyed a great day with our wonderful guide Hero. And the clouds broke and we were able to see Mt. Fuji!! Hero provided great commentary during the tour. He welcomed our questions and was an excellent guide.

• What a great way to see Mt. Fuji!

  Our cruise ship docked overnight in the port of Shimizu, in the vicinity of Mt. Fuji, which we could see out of our stateroom. We met our guide, Kiyo, and our driver, Mr. Ted just outside the port. The car was a large and classy Toyota Crown with ample room for my husband's rolling walker. They took us out of the city and started by stopping at a bend in the road where one can get the best pictures of Mt. Fuji plus tea plantations. This is the kind of thing a tour bus just can't do. We then went to a tea plantation and learned about the process of tea picking and making and sampled (and bought) tea that had just been picked the previous week. We were then taken to the Nihondaira Observation Tower for stunning views of Mt. Fuji. From there it was onto the Ryuge-ji temple which dates back to the Shogunate period, with lovely gardens and a charming small temple where one can have tea and matcha chocolate. Our guide was kind and informative and the driver top-notch.

  Very good communication. Picked us up at the port on time and with the identifying sign. Great tourguide (Motoko) and driver (Mr. Uchida). We had a great day!

  Matoke and Ted were a great guide and driver. Despite inclement weather we had a wonderful time seeing not just a couple of more touristed sites but also seeing some wonderful peaceful local sites that we really enjoyed. It was an outstanding day thanks in large part to our wonderful guide and driver!
