He gave us space when needed to explore individually and stayed with us when needed. He also recommended which food stalls were good etc. You will be lucky if you get Sam. It's a long day but so comfortable and the time flies. The lake is a big highlight with Mt Fuji as the backdrop and the village too. We also enjoyed Oshino World Heritage as well as the Pagoda. Do not hesitate to book. It's worth…”
