Great Trip to Mt Fuji and surrounding areas - Malik is a little experience driver. I have 2 young kids (from Australia) and my in laws are with us too (from Indonesia). The trip was pleasant and planned. Pick up right from the hotel and drop off at the hotel. The car was enough space to accommodate all 6 of us… It was a wonderful experience at MT Fuji tour and surrounding areas.

Lake Ashi, Hakone, Kabuchiko & Mt Fuji Views - So good! Malik took us to some very cool spots and allowed us heaps of time before moving on to the next spot. The main places we visited was Hakone and Kabuchiko. We didn't have to wait at all for any of the planned activities such as the speed boat! Very safe driver who even let us connect to Bluetooth. Even though the view of Fuji was cloudy, the surrounding scenery is so beautiful that it's still very much worth the trip! Would recommend highly!!

Fuji photo- ops. - Our driver picked us up an hour earlier by arrangement. This avoided heavy traffic and crowds and was to all our advantage. He was flexible about how we spent our time at each stop. He observed we are keen photographers and made sure we had opportunities for great shots. We enjoyed our trip very much and recommend it.
