Lisa our tour quite did a wonderful job. The bus ride was comfortable, the boat ride at the lake was very peaceful. We also enjoyed climbing 398 steps to the top of course we only went up halfway for the view. Overall money and time well spent. We had a lot of opportunities to view and take pictures of Mount Fuji.
My tour guide Lisa was knowledgeable, considerate, and extremely helpful.
This tour was fun and informative. I learned a bit of Japanese that I was able to use right away. As an educator, I really appreciated Lisa’s commentary because although I love to visit new places, it is equally important for me to learn the history of the places.
Lisa is a very good, informative and on time tour guide. She is also very kind and helpfull.

Decided to book this tour after Yasushi recommended it in the Kanazawa tour. Even though we couldn't see Mt. Fuji because It was covered by clouds, the activities were still fun. Masa-chan did a great job with the tour.

Today’s trip was simply perfect in all aspects. My tour guide Masa was a great help to everyone on the tour and provided an overall enjoyable, yet outgoing experience . I would heavily recommend this tour to friends and family if we come back to Japan. All of the designated stops were exciting to me and I hope there is more like it in the future. Great Price for the amount of different attractions, as well as not overpriced subjects in the tourist areas.
