This tour was so much fun! An (Atsuko Ando) was really knowledgeable and really took the time to make sure my wife and I had a great experience. The tour was tailored to what we wanted to see. We didn't have a real plan in mind so Atsuko asked us questions and made recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Atsuko took time to also help us with getting our JR Passes exchanged and booking our train rides for the other parts of our trip.

I loved booking this experience on my second day upon arrival in Tokyo. It was my first time in Japan and I was solo traveling. My guide, Kenji, was amazing and knowledgeable. He was very kind and showed me placed based on my interests I was able to communicate before the trip.

Highly recommend this tour. You'll see different vantage points of Mt. Fuji, all stunning. I opted for the wagyu beef lunch was not disappointed.

Nori was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She catered the tour to our requests and we had a great day
