Our day in Mt. Fuji was incredible thanks to the HIS Chubu team. From booking until drop off, everything was top notch. Communication on the itinerary was fantastic, pick up was on time, the motorcoach was comfortable for the entire family and our guide, Hirose, was wonderful! We traveled with a 5yr old and a 2yr old so we were nervous they wouldn't hang in that long but they had a great time. The art museum was a hit as they loved the hands on experience and we were lucky to have great visibility with Mt. Fuji. We learned so much from Hirose and left with such a great understanding and respect for the area. Would highly recommend this tour!
My husband and I escaped to the area for a day. We had a wonderful time and Hero our guide was awesome. He was full of information about the area and took the time to show us some added gems in the area. The Sake distillery was a highlight. 9th and 10th generation of running the distillery. We were lucky with beautiful weather and perfect views. The shrine and art museum were also wonderful parts of the day.
