If you are wanting to view Mt Fuji from many aspects, then this is the trip for you!!
If you are wanting to have a personal interactive experience, tailored to the weather conditions on the day, then this trip is for you!!
If you would rather be part of a small group ,instead a busload of 40 or 50 people, and get information from a local person who has a wealth of knowledge about the area, then this is the tour for you!!
Today my husband and I were lucky enough to go on this tour,hoping to see Mount Fuji, depending on weather conditions.
Wow.... We got so much more than that.
Our driver was Kato, assisted by Aki ... Both wonderful gentlemen, with lots of knowledge about this beautiful region. We learned so much about the area...not just about Mount Fuji.
We stopped at various places to get different views of Mt Fuji, and see so many lovely things everywhere.... Beautiful gardens, fields of tea(even got close ups, and were shown how it is harvested), awesome birdlife,and of course mountains.
Both gents had very good grasp of speaking English for us, and were happy to answer questions on anything we wanted to know.
Also, the vehicle we were driven in was spotlessly clean, air conditioned, and Kato was an excellent driver.
I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.... You will not be sorry.
Our driver Kato and our fuise Kana were amazing! We saw several views of Mt. Fuji. Great small group tour. Don’t hesitate to book!!
Excellent guide and great driver (Katie-San and Sue-San) team. Nice pace to the excursion and despite cloudy conditions it was thoroughly enjoyable and informative.
Added stop to pick your own green tea was delightful.
Kato was a wonderful tour guide and Nao was a great driver. Rino was on her first tour and was very helpful. Although Mt Fuji was clouded in today we still had a wonderful tour. We went to the Mount Fuji Heritage Centre, the Shiraito Falls, a tea plantation and a final stop at Fuji River to watch the Shinkansen pass by. A great day was had by all.
We loved this tour with Kato and Su-san! They are both such kind, funny, and knowledgable people who were wonderful guides around Mt. Fuji. Kato has lots of knowledge as he previously worked for environmental protection for Mt. Fuji. They took us to mainly local spots/views of the mountain and they were all very beautiful. One of the highlights of our trip was the gorgeous waterfall. The pacing of the day was perfect, not rushed at all and the perfect amount of active. They made our day amazing. I strongly recommend this tour.
The driver and tour guide were so personable… even with the cloudy/rainy day they showed me a wonderful time. We went as far up the mountain as the weather would allow and they both shared much about the farming practices they answered alll questions I asked. (This is the beauty of a small tour!) The weather caused the itinerary to change but we went to the Mt Fuji museum and a large shrine/Temple… I really enjoyed this personal tour!
Kato and Su_San were absolutely amazing guides. We got stunning photos of the SUMMIT of Mt Fuji on an otherwise cloudy day because they knew exactly where to take us! They were friendly, engaging and went out of their way to ensure our tour was the best possible experience. Our route deviated to the north as Kato felt the views would be better due to the weather. As a result we were treated not only to clear views of Mt Fuji but also the summit!
We must add that a similar excursion through our cruise ship would have been at least triple the price and could not have reached the observation point we visited today, as we traversed narrow dirt roads up mountainsides! HIGHLY recommended when in Shimuzu Port!
I had an excellent day of touring with our guide Kato and his driver Susan! The weather did not cooperate with us getting any views of Mt Fuji, but the tour was otherwise great for me. Much good information of the mountain and area provided to me. I shared the journey with a lovely couple from Singapore which made for an even better day. Kato had a perfect vehicle to transport us to many great locations. We saw some lovely green tea fields in a very scenic area. We then went to see the amazing sights at Shiraito no Taki Waterfalls. WOW, the falls were gorgeous. We then went to the wonderful Mt Fuiji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka. So impressive in the design of the museum. One of a kind. We then drove to an area where we could not see Mt Fuji, but were able to witness the speeding bullet train-Shinkansen. Thank you Kato and Susan for making a memorable day and being perfect hosts!

We had a wonderful trip viewing Mt. Fuji from many awesome locations! The weather cooperated and it was a perfectly clear day. Our guide Mr. Kato and his colleague were wonderful in showing us the places, attending to our needs and providing the necessary guidance and assistance when we needed it. We truly will treasure this experience.
Fantastic tour & support. Nothing was too much trouble. I recommend this tour & will try it again next time we visit Shimizu. Our early morning arrival by ship showed the mount shrouded in a haze & we hoped the day would clear. We had Great Expectations to see Mt Fuji. Unfortunately, it did not clear.
Our guide (Miwa) & driver (Susan) meet us at the port. We headed to a few locations but unfortunately the visibility was poor, Our guide was prepared with Plan B. We had a lovely time visiting tea growing areas, visited a waterfall & the Mt Fuji World Heritage Centre. This Centre would be spectacular on a clear day.
Miwa & Susan were invaluable as they also assisted me in obtaining some medical supplies & money exchanged.
