Fabi was an awesome tour guide. He was helpful in suggesting when best to start the tour to Mt Fuji and surrounding areas to avoid traffic when leaving Tokyo and avoid the crowds once there. He explained all the different places in detail and gave ample time to explore. He even suggested a viewpoint of Mt Fuji which is not amongst the common ones. He also has a great sense of humour. I would recommend using him.Posted on Google![]()
