This was so much fun!! Each site was a little rushed due to there big lots of traffic. Definitely understandable. Drink lots or water and wear comfortable shoes. The host was so nice and took her time explaining where we were going and what was going to be done.

The tour guide was great! She gave us recommendations on the local fruits and it tasted amazing! When one of the members in our group wasn’t feeling well, the support from the tour guide was amazing. Thank you for giving us memories of a lifetime.

The whole experience was excellent when we got to the meeting point in Shinjuku the tour guide Sumi…was there with her flag as promised in the email …she informed us that there was a little bit of traffic on the highway to Mount Fuji so we should all use the restroom facilities before our trip. Our seats in row 5 driver side were excellent. There was enough legroom. I’m 6 foot one and I did not feel cramped at all… I think the bus should have USB port at each seat, though..Sumi..was very polite and articulate and her English was fantastic.. as promised we visited all the sites in the tour.. the temperature in the tour bus was excellent. It wasn’t too cold. It wasn’t too hot and the ride was smooth. The driver was excellent. Overall, we had an amazing experience on the Mount Fuji tour, Sumi the guide. And the driver did a great job made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the tour she was quite helpful with all her insights of the areas that we visited overall, we had a great time and we’re well informed after the tour
