Excellent experience with Tomomi San

A knowledgeable, passionate, and sensible guide.

Like other reviewers said, Tomomi-san is very professional from the planning to the execution of the tour. Before the tour she was able to solve quickly my doubts about transportation and during the tour she was very knowledgeable and precise bringing with her detailed info material. But the most incredibile aspect is the passion she is able to show during the tour. Even if she lived her life on the foot of Mt. Fuji, and she probably visited these places hundreds of times, during our tour in Aokigahara (and surroundings) she always expressed such a sense of wonder, that it felt like she was seeing these places for the first time with you. This really makes you feel like you are visiting special places. She is also curious herself, and has shown a high sensibility towards my interests. I was lucky enough to realize my tour with good weather and an astonishing view of Mt. Fuji and I was in the best possible company with Tomomi-san. I will cherish this day in my memory.

Tomomi Y.

Stefano-san ! Thank you for your review which has motivated me a lot. I was very happy that you booked my tour again. It had been three years since you canceled the same tour due to the COVID pandemic. We finally met. The time we spent together wasn’t long, but it was precious. I hope you have more interest in Japanese culture and nature through this tour. ありがとうございました!
