In this tour, we will visit three of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots.
My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way.

He was prompt, well planned, friendly and polite. He took us to the gardens, fish market, 2 temples, shrine, beautiful walk around the water to see the beautiful cherry blossoms, up and down several streets of small shops and we looked at the displays of food and souvenirs, went to see the dog statue and the busiest walking crossing. He provided stories and explanations of what we were seeing and the history behind them. He escorted us to the Tokyo station where we picked up our JR passes and tickets and he made sure that everything was correct. We could not have been more pleased

Hideaki was very helpful in bringing us to Hakone and the open air museum. He speaks very good English so we have no problem communicating. Hideaki was patient and guided us along all the places and answering all our questions!
Yeok chiew T.-san, Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately, we were not able to see Mt. Fuji. Your younger son's happy and relaxed face when he enjoyed a foot bath was so impressive for me. Thank you again. Hideaki Murayama
