Excellent Mount Fuji Day!

Our group of 9 (2 families - 4 adults, 2 teens, 3 kids) had a fantastic Mt. Fuji area day under the guidance of Mr. Nobu. He was able to arrange the van ahead of time which allowed us to see many things in the area much more easily that if we had used trains/public transportation. He had excellent recommendations for the order of seeing things to minimize crowds and waits. We took the cable car up for a view of Mt. Fujji and then took a boat for another set of views, had an amazing lunch at a local restaurant he arranged, saw a beautiful area garden, then saw the forrest and ice cave. The day far exceeded our expectations and we strongly recommend booking with Mr. Nobu (and splurging on a van/car option for this day trip from Tokyo).

A Day Tour to Mt. Fuji Area from Tokyo by a National Licensed Guide with a Minivan

Our experience with Nobu S was excellent where he provided history and cultural information of all the touring destinations. In addition, he took us to a typical local Japanese restaurant for lunch which was an experience in itself and the food was great where we sampled traditional cuisine together with some sake. Nobu S was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and we are thankful for the excellent experience we had with him during the tour. Thank you Nobu S and all the very best for the future.
