Jackie san, Thank you very much for your review. We were able to see beautiful roses and hydrangeas at Gora Park even though we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji. I hope you enjoyed the tour. Have a good trip in Japan. Hideaki Murayama

“Tour of Fuji and Nikko”
We spent two days exploring out of Tokyo with Mura. He said in his biography that his "basic policy as a tour guide is to entertain my guests with my best hospitality" and Mura certainly lived up to this and we felt very welcome with him. He scheduled the trips well and we never felt rushed or needed to ask to rest. He was able to answer all of our questions about Japan and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him! (This review is duplicated on the other day booking)

Shwe-san, Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately, we couldn't see a full view of Mt. Fuji. I know we can't control the weather. But I feel sorry when we can't see the mountain. Best Regards, Hideaki Murayama
