“Amazing 1-day adventure”
From start to finish this 1-day tour was amazing from pickup to drop-off the driver/guide was phenomenal. The guide will customize as needed even during the tour. We managed to get great views of Mout Fuji from a couple of locations and a wonderfully pleasant trip through the forest and caves. The vehicle was very comfortable and decked with features. The guide knowledgable and extremely helpful. I would recommend this company, guide and tour to anyone who needs to a tailored tour fully curated by an experienced company.
