Our tour guide was very helpful. Although our trip got delayed due to traffic, we were able to visit the main attractions. Great views of Mount Fuji!

this tour was good value for the price! solo traveller from Canada and I was able to make a friend on the trip. there are assignees seats and I was next to another solo traveller. they took us to all the places and even if we didn’t see mount fiji it was fun. it was cheaper to do the tour than to go to these places by myself. Make sure to arrive on time at the meet up point. The one thing that could be improve is to jave the guide tell us more about the history of Japan and Mount Fuji.

It’s perfect place to see Mount Fuji if you’re adventurous and anime lover! However, I didn’t know that the haunted hospital requires a timed ticket, I wasn’t able to went inside.

We had an unforgettable trip to Mt. Fuji, and it was all thanks to our amazing tour guide, Ms. Selene! Not only is she so pretty, but she’s also incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail of our journey was perfect. Her knowledge of the area and her friendly, warm personality made the experience even more special. We felt truly taken care of from start to finish. If you’re looking for the best guide for Mt. Fuji, Ms. Selene is the one to go with! Thank you Ms. Selene 😍❤️☺️
