We had an absolutely incredible experience on the Mt. Fuji 1-Day Tour! From start to finish, everything was well organized, and unforgettable. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Yuty, who was exceptional. He was warm, knowledgeable, engaging, and made everyone feel welcomed throughout the day. He shared fascinating information about each destination, kept the tour running smoothly, and his cheerful personality made the experience even more enjoyable. We also want to recognize our amazing bus driver, Saito-san. His driving was smooth, safe, and professional, allowing us to simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. We truly appreciated how comfortable he made the journey. Every stop was beautiful—from the peaceful Lake Kawaguchi cruise and stunning views of Mt. Fuji to Oshino Hakkai and the iconic Arakurayama Sengen Shrine. The Hōtō noodle cooking experience was also a fun and delicious highlight! This tour was one of the highlights of our family’s trip to Japan. If you’re visiting Japan and want to experience the beauty of Mt. Fuji without the stress of planning every detail yourself, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Yuty and Saito-san, for creating such wonderful memories that our family will cherish for years to come!

It was lots of fun! Kazu-san, our tour guide, was a chill guy. He’s easy to talk to and planned plenty of bathroom breaks and he’s good at English too. The spots were great, very pretty Mt. Fuji and flowers and delicious ice cream. I think you’re given enough space to do what you want in the spots too. I had a great time!
