Dreamy Fuji area trip

Published on Dec, 2024

We really had a lot of luck as the weather was perfect and the views of the Fuji-san were spectacular. Shawn was very pleasant, showed us the best spots for seeing the foliage, cooked us a very tasty lunch while watching the mountain in all it’s glory and for the finale- brought us to wonderful waterfalls with yet another wonderful view of the mountain. Shawn was very fluent in English and was flexible and attentive. Highly recommend!

A wonderful trip!

Published on Nov, 2024

It is known that Fuji-san frequently hides in the clouds. We started our trip in Tokyo under a moderately heavy rain. We were afraid that we would not get to see Mt. Fuji, but Shawn used his experience to change the itinerary on the fly to ensure we had the best chance to see the mountain. The trip was an absolute success. We got to see Fuji-san in all of her unrivalled beauty. As an icing on the cake, Shawn cooked a delicious lunch for us by Lake Motosuko with a gorgeous, unobstructed view of the mountain, and we were able to avoid the busy touristy crowds. Thank you Shawn for a wonderful day!!

Chasing Mt Fuji

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour guide Shawn made the whole experience a once in a lifetime treasure. The Japanese heritage was on full display the entire journey as we made our way to Mt Fuji, enjoyed an unbelievable lakeside Japanese-style BBQ lunch at the base of the mountain experiencing farmer's markets and hidden ancient waterfalls. Engaging and delightfully energetic throughout the all-day tour, Shawn navigated the winding roads to enhance the mountain views with timeless historic facts and unique local perspective.

Hands down, best experience and guide

Published on Nov, 2024

Shawn is such a great guide. What I found out about Shawn is that this IS his passion. He found a job that he LOVES and he wants you to have the best experience too. When somebody loves their work that much, it comes through to his guests. We were hopeful, as must people are, to view Mt Fuji. We were so lucky to have gotten a view, and also was able to see the first snowfall of the year! Shawn knows all the great spots and hidden areas. He also loves taking your photo and like I said, he picks all the great spots. You’ll always get a good photo. Don’t let the cost of the experience deter you. It is money well spent. In fact, if I could, I would book this same tour in the spring to get different photos. Shawn also provided a wonderful meal for us. It was so good and all prepared by him. If you’re reading this review, book now. You definitely will not regret it!

A day to remember

Published on Oct, 2024

We played a game of hide-and-seek with and Mt. Fuji won. A shy mountain hiding behind a thick blanket of clouds. That didn’t stop us from having a beautiful day exploring a cave and chasing waterfalls. The highlight was the delicious bbq at the lake prepared by Shawn (with the best tofu I’ve ever eaten ~ thanks for providing a vegetarian option). Shawn is a genuine person and excellent guide. Highly recommend!!
