What Is a Private Mount Fuji Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visitors from North America. They were refined and easy to guide, which was a great help. Today, Mount Fuji was clearly visible everywhere we went from the morning, and the guests were delighted. When I told them that even Japanese travelers consider it very lucky to see Mount Fuji on a given day, they became very cheerful. They shared their travel plans, mentioning that they would take the Shinkansen to Kyoto, Osaka, and Kyushu, and then travel around Asia afterward. It was a pleasant and enjoyable tour.

I am glad to introduce myself to the prospective tourists visiting Japan from abroad. My name is Yasuo Ochiai, but please call me “Yasu” if you have a chance to be my guests in Japan. I have been an English tourist guide for 37 years and having a good reputation from my guests. I am proud of having a good knowledge not only about the scenic spots in Japan but also about Japanese cultures, such as Kabuki, Noh, and Flower Arrangement. When I show you around the sightseeing spots, I always promise to treat you warmly and give the best explanation as much as possible. I hope that you will go back to your countries with good memories of Japan.
