He was able to get us amazing views of Mount Fuji. Using his knowledge he advised us on the best order of the stops we wanted to do. This proved tremendously helpful as we were able to beat the crowds at every single stop!!!! All of our photos were amazing and we didn’t have to fight the huge tour buses.

“Wonderful Mt. Fuji tour, largely thanks to Naomi (guide) and Sakamoto (driver) . She was incredibly sympathetic and approachable, always going around to check if we had questions or needed anything. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her funny, cute jokes and by sharing lovely stories about Japan. I especially appreciated her practical suggestions and the Japanese “must-know” phrases she taught us — it really added to the cultural experience. Highly recommended!”
