Overview of your Fujikawaguchiko tour

In this tour, we will visit two of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots. My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way. According to the weather records of Fuji city, the possibility of viewing Mt Fuji depends on the season, about 80% in winter while less than 30% in summer. In case traffic jam is forecasted, for example on Saturday and Sunday, we may take a train instead of a highway bus.

We had an excellent tour with Hideaki Murayama. He was prompt in follow-up by email and had excellent suggestions for our tour. He had an organized schedule for our day but unfortunately weather did not cooperate for Mt Fuji sightings.. He was early to our meeting point and had a back up plan arranged that same day. We had a great day touring Kamakura and the surrounding area and a wonderful hibachi restaurant lunch.

From the very beginning, Hideaki was super communicative and punctual. He was quick to respond to us and offer his help in planning. He listened to our wants, made recommendations, and tried to accommodate every one of our wishes. He coordinated places to visit, helped us purchase our tickets, and helped us make all of our travel arrangements while there in Tokyo. He even walked us through how to get back to the airport after our trip was over. Our guide was friendly, patient, and kind. His English was also perfectly suitable to us and very helpful in everything we were doing. Over the next 2 and 1/2 days, we grew to appreciate Hideaki. So much so, we were a little disappointed that our time with him came to an end. We would highly recommend Hideaki and Tours by Locals!
