Our tour guide Juju was awesome! She has been in Japan for many years and had a lot of interesting factoids to share with us. We had an easy time getting everywhere via bus. We unfortunately hit some traffic on the way back, so I don’t recommend having dinner plans after this trip, but we got to eat so many snacks and strawberries that we weren’t hungry even at 7:30 when we got back. The ability to see Mt Fuji is very weather-dependent! We got lucky and had a PERFECT view everywhere we went! Highly recommend this trip if the weather is good (wear sunscreen) and I think I still would have had fun even if Fuji-san was shy. :)
Alex is a great tour guide. Enjoy the view of Mount Fuji. Great weather in mid-November. Grape picking allowed to try many different varieties of grapes. Lot of great fall colors, very vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red.
Betsy, our tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable, and truly made this a wonderful experience. We were a ridiculous group that needed a lot of help abd accommodations. We truly appreciate all of Betsy's extra work to make my family's experience amazing. Thank you

Our team always strives to provide the best possible experience, and it means the world to us to hear how Betsy's kindness, knowledge, and extra work made your family's trip so amazing, especially when extra accommodations were needed. We will be sure to share your heartfelt appreciation with her; it will absolutely make her day. We hope to welcome you all back on another tour in the future. Warm regards, The HIS Team
Our guide for this tour was Yuko, and she did a great job. Mount Fuji was far better and more impressive than expected. The breathtaking view from the top of a mountain in front of Mount Fuji, which you reach by cable car, is truly unforgettable. Then, we went to a beautiful garden, where you can take amazing pictures with Mount Fuji in the background. Don't forget to make time to eat lavender and blue flower ice cream in that spot! We had a traditional lunch from that region (I've forgotten the name of the dish), which was so good. You'll also have time to get goodies made from the many fruits harvested in that region. Before we headed back to Tokyo, we stopped to pick and eat cherries—what a better way to finish the day! They were very tasty and fresh. The owners of the farm were so nice and welcoming to us; they showed us and helped us pick the best fruits from the trees. We had a great day.
Betty is fluent in English and Mandarin, and went the extra mile to make origamis and teach some young passengers how to fold cranes. Lunch is delicious and fulfilling. Cherries did not taste special but it is not a difficult or bad experience. The trees are filled with cherries, easy to pick. Driver was very kind and made sure to greet each of us when we alight and board the bus. Overall I'm pleased with Betty and the driver's service.
It was a fun experience, and the guide was wonderful. He was kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I would highly recommend!

I appreciate the experience but our guide Umar/Amar was not personable. Rushed the entire group the entire time and made the event unenjoyable. I felt bad for the group who was struggling to keep up with their elderly family member. Honestly may be easier to take the train and do all the events on your own. Guide also never asked about food allergies prior to the lunch, guide also told us it was buffet style/ all you can eat & was not. My sister is allergic to pork and had difficulty getting another meal.
Be careful when booking this during the winter. The ropeline was closed due to high winds and the road to the Mt Fuji stations was closed due to icy roads. The park has a great view and the strawberry picking was also great. Mieko was great and was able to find us some other activities in the area, so we weren’t just sitting around.
1. We enjoyed picking and eating the grapes. 2. The lunch was fabulous - good variety and everything tasted great! 3. Good views of Mt. Fuji - just very cold. 4. Ropeway ride was really great! 5. Tour guide was friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed this tour! Perfect for my full day off. It was raining but I still had a great time. The tour guide, Edward, was friendly and energetic. I met some nice people on the bus as well. Many of the guests are Chinese speakers so it's a bilingual tour. We had delicious grapes at the farm, yummy udon on a cold day, and saw great views. I like tours because you don't need to make any plans and you go to multiple places and end up with lots of photos in one day.
