I had an excellent day of touring with our guide Kato and his driver Susan! The weather did not cooperate with us getting any views of Mt Fuji, but the tour was otherwise great for me. Much good information of the mountain and area provided to me. I shared the journey with a lovely couple from Singapore which made for an even better day. Kato had a perfect vehicle to transport us to many great locations. We saw some lovely green tea fields in a very scenic area. We then went to see the amazing sights at Shiraito no Taki Waterfalls. WOW, the falls were gorgeous. We then went to the wonderful Mt Fuiji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka. So impressive in the design of the museum. One of a kind. We then drove to an area where we could not see Mt Fuji, but were able to witness the speeding bullet train-Shinkansen. Thank you Kato and Susan for making a memorable day and being perfect hosts!

We had a wonderful trip viewing Mt. Fuji from many awesome locations! The weather cooperated and it was a perfectly clear day. Our guide Mr. Kato and his colleague were wonderful in showing us the places, attending to our needs and providing the necessary guidance and assistance when we needed it. We truly will treasure this experience.
Fantastic tour & support. Nothing was too much trouble. I recommend this tour & will try it again next time we visit Shimizu. Our early morning arrival by ship showed the mount shrouded in a haze & we hoped the day would clear. We had Great Expectations to see Mt Fuji. Unfortunately, it did not clear. Our guide (Miwa) & driver (Susan) meet us at the port. We headed to a few locations but unfortunately the visibility was poor, Our guide was prepared with Plan B. We had a lovely time visiting tea growing areas, visited a waterfall & the Mt Fuji World Heritage Centre. This Centre would be spectacular on a clear day. Miwa & Susan were invaluable as they also assisted me in obtaining some medical supplies & money exchanged.
I had always wanted to visit Aokigahara Jukai, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! The guide was very kind and ran at a pace that suited me, so I was able to run with peace of mind.
