Yasuko, Provided a very thorough tour of the Mt Fuji Srine and museum/learning center. We met at the port and took several trains from Shimizu to the Fuji area. Also had lunch at a local noodle eatery. A very enjoyable day.
Dear Michael, Thank you for a good review. I'm happy to hear you had fun on that day with me. I'm afraid your wife missed something close to the Mt.Fuji area's atmosphere. But you will be back here in the best season to see Mt.Fuji in the future. I appreciate you joining my tour.
Yasuko was ready to chat and advise us about our itinerary through GoWithGuide. On the day before our tour she contacted me through whatsapp so we could confirm the meeting time and as a result, was easy to find at the port. She had already purchased an IC card for us to use which made catching public transport a breeze. We just had to reimburse her on the day. Using public transport was a fantastic experience and the bullet train ride was awesome. Unfortunately Mt Fuji was enveloped in cloud but the other places she took us to were great and without volumes of tourists.
Dear Debi, Thank you for writing a good review of my tour. I'm happy to hear that you had a good time with me. So you will be back to see Mt.Fuji sometime in the future. Again I appreciate so much for your cooperation.
Our party of 4 was met by yasuko (or Jasmine as she asked us to call her). She was an incredible guide, knowledgeable, and very flexible as we made some changes to our plans. She was able to meet all our must sees including a short ride on the bullet chain. You cannot go wrong with having Jasmine as your guide in the Mt. Fuji area.
Dear Robin-san, thank you so much for a good review. I'm happy to hear that you had fun with me around the Mt.Fuji area. I appreciate you all were kind and cooperative. Welcome back to Japan in a different season. Yasuko
Yasuko was very knowledgeable of all the sites. She was able to educate us of the history and important of each areas. We were so lucky to have her as our tour guide. She meet our family at the pier and answered every questions that we have along the way. She also we all make it back to the ship safely. We simply have a wonderful time. Thank you Yasuko!
Thank you very much for a good review. Vu san and your family. I’m so happy to hear that you had fun with me, you all were very cooperative and kind. I appreciate it.
