    Amazing, perfect, wow. Mitz was our tour guide, she was wonderful. Truly a sweetheart. She was interactive throughout the whole trip, taught us a little Japanese and was knowledgeable about Japan and the area which was great because we came to be immersed in the culture. There is a lot of walking, like a lot but it is 100% worth it. The village is personal and beautiful. We were lucky enough to see the cherry blossoms and clear view of Mt. Fuji in all her glory. The lunch is amazing, all options are good options I cannot lie. I felt very fulfilled with this trip, was one of my favorite tours during my visit to Japan. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Mitz! And to our amazing driver.

  • Excellent experience!

    What a wonderful day. Can't say enough positive thing about this trip. The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole experience worth it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to take the day to visit Mount Fuji. We ended going to a classic village as well which really made the whole trip come together.

  • Good views not much history

    The bus ride was smooth and went by quickly. The group was nice and respectful. We had a nice sunny day when we went so we had a good view of Mt. Fuji at the beginning of the day and then it started to get a bit cloudy. All of the stops offered a good picturesque view of Mt. Fuji. The lunch offered was pretty good too. I would have liked the tour more if there was any involvement from the tour guide in terms of explaining where we were and notable facts/history of where we stopped. So not much guidance on the tour but good picture spots if that's all you care about.

    Departure on time with a guide at the top who takes the time to show us around particularly beautiful places. Although it is a group outing we have a lot of free time. We had taken the meal option and no regrets the meal was also very good.

    Wait to but ticket to increase chance of weather being clear skies. It was rainy and cloudy and cold. The lunch was like a hot pot restaurant which was cool for some like me but not for all.

    Mitsuoko was a very enthusiastic guide. We were fortunate to have good weather, and Mitsuoko changed itinerary to ameliorate problem of smoke from fires.

  • Easy meeting point....

    Easy meeting point. Clean, comfortable bus service. I was a bit disappointed with the tour guide. While she was very nice shared no info about the country or the places we have been to. I have been on similar tours in different countries and usually the guide gives info about the country and places we see. This was more like “we are here, you have x amount of time to explore”… otherwise uneventful bus ride…
