A great trip sightseeing around Mount Fuji!
We had a great day with our guide Michiko on the Mount Fuji trip. Michiko made the trip very interesting and ensured that we got some great photos. We had the weather on our side and were thrilled to get various photos of Mount Fuji from various view points. We also saw a beautiful shrine and a tea plantation. Well organised and informative!
