“Beautiful Mt Takao”
Had a completely fulfilling, beautiful and invigorating hike up to Mt Takao with Carol! She is an excellent guide, who is attentive to detail with a warm personality. Throughout the booking process, Carol is always very responsive and accommodating to your request. Mt Takao makes a really nice day out of Tokyo, you do have to be somewhat fit! But the autumn foliage, views, lovely town before the hike and dinner in a very special 'chicken' place (ask Carol!) makes this day trip very worthwhile. Thank you for looking after us, Carol! Had a very memorable time with you, a new found Tokyo friend.
Carol N.
