“A wonderful tour guide - fluent in English, knowledgeable about Mt. Fuji and area”
Ryohei was a fantastic tour guide! Our family was a group of 4 adults visiting from Canada. Ryohei was great to work with to customize an itinerary. Even after the research I did in the area, his suggested itinerary is was what we ended up going with. Although I considered traveling locally on our own, having him as a tour guide was the best decision we could have made. There was no guesswork and no wasted time trying to navigate local transportation. His English is excellent. He has a friendly demeanor and our group was very comfortable asking him questions. He offered to take photos for us and made recommendations on local businesses to visit or restaurants to eat at. Everything he recommended was as great as he described it would be. He was flexible about staying longer in some locations or taking detours to other locations. He was very punctual and picked our group up at our accommodations in Fujiyoshida. He kept us aware of our schedue and time constraints as well. His vehicle was clean and spacious. He also made additional accommodations for our group, which we very much appreciated. We couldn't recommend him enough.
