We enjoyed our time hiking a bit on the mountain. Tetsuya is a good guide. He is prompt, reliable and friendly.
Thank you for your review! I’m glad you enjoyed your time on the mountain. We were very lucky that Mt. Fuji showed itself several times throughout the day despite it being the middle of the rainy season. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope the rest of your travels in Japan were just as enjoyable. Hope to see you again someday!
