(25 reviews)Dear Kris san Thank you very much for your comment on my tour. It is regret that Mt Fuji was covered with cloud all day long and missed the chance to enjoy beautiful and elegant Mt Fuji. If you have chance to come back to Japan, I really want to show you beautiful Mt Fuji clearly. Thanks Nao
