What a fantastic day, even though it rained by the time we got to Mount Fuji, the rain has stopped, and we had glorious view. Suntory whiskey distillery was everything I imagined it to be. Davide was a great Tour Guide. One of my best Tours ever.
This full day tour was very nice. We had a great experience on our trip to Mt. Fuji. It's beautiful close up and from Oishi Park. We were blessed to be able to see it without too much cloud cover. The tour to the Hakushu whisky distillery was nice. The location is beautiful. We enjoyed our lunch and tasting. Our guide Thomas was very enjoyable and informative and our driver was very safe. It's a bit driving but well worth the trip. I highly recommend.

Thomas was great and we had a good time.
Tour was very enjoyable knocking out two different things we wanted to do. Guide (Davida) was very friendly and knowledgeable. Also understanding he didn’t need to fill every minute with talk.
It was expected to be a long day as traveling to these locations takes time, but the drive was not unpleasant. Our guide, David, was very thorough in laying out the details of the day and answering all questions. The stops were well timed to allow for adequate breaks. We were not able to go as high up Mount Fuji as hoped due to snow, but the view from the 1st station was outstanding. The little villages along the way were very cute and interesting. The distillery is nicely laid out and the whisky tastings were nice. I am certain the surrounding area is beautiful in warmer weather.
