“Mount Fugi”
We had a wonderful day with Yoshi touring Mt Fuji. He was on time & spoke English very well. We were doing this trip post marathon so it was a little slower for us to keep up with his walking but he was patient & we enjoyed the walking too. We were able to see all the sights & the day was beautiful. I would recommend Yoshi especially if you want a walking & bus tour for the day.
