“WOW! Our day in Mt Fuji with Chris was the best day of our trip to Japan (and we had lots of amazing experiences during our 8 days). Chris helped us buy return tickets when we got to Kawaguchiko (and then later made sure we got on the right bus back to Tokyo). He showed us so many incredible spots - the landscape is beyond stunning and so relaxing away from the crowds. 10/10 recommend - you won't regret it!”
