We really enjoyed the trip to see the best spots around Mt. Fuji. Our guide/driver was welcoming and joyful, and she explained the main highlights of each spot very well. She did a great job, even though there was a lot of traffic. We definitely recommend her!
Our guide sato was fun, friendly and informative. The day was well organised and moved along at a good pace, allowing time at each stop to explore. We were lucky enough to see Mount Fuji and the boat ride was a nice addition. Overall a great day. Thank you.
Wonderful day trip. Our guide Yas was engaging and provided us with lots of Japanese history and interesting facts! We felt we had enough time at each site to explore and get photographs. Overall a great way to see many of the sites around Mount Fuji in one day! Would recommend this day trip
Our guide Hoto was amazing! He spoke great English and was super friendly and knowledgeable throughout the whole Mount Fuji trip. I loved the Lake Kawaguchi cruise, and he made everything so easy and fun. He helped us with photos, showed us all the best spots, and made sure we were always comfortable. We felt really well taken care of and appreciated his warm hospitality. Anyone would be lucky to have Hoto as their guide — highly recommend!

The driver/guide was fun, helpful, and shared cool info without making it feel like a lecture. Overall, it was an easy, beautiful, and totally worth-it experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Japan!
