I highly recommend this tour of Mt.Fuji. It was the highlight of my 3 week trip in Japan. Our guide Shawn explained all possible changes due to weather before we start. He is excellent guide and photographer, knows about photoshoot spots around Mt.Fuji. We were able to stop some good spots where were not mentioned on itinerary. We got a lot of amazing pictures with Mt. Fuji in the background

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.

We participated in the 14th Mt. Fuji Hill Climb on the 11 Jun 2017. We were very well taken care by Tadasuke San and his team during the 3 days we were in Kawaguchiko. It was an amazing 3 days of fun riding, exploration and experience on bike, the best way to experience Mount Fuji and the 5 lakes! Tada San speaks very well English and he is a very thoughtful and professional guide. Highly recommend to engage his service if you want to experience the best of Mount Fuji!
