- Unbelievable tour! The Sakura was spectacular.
Unbelievable tour! The Sakura was spectacular. The tour guide (Hiro) well-explained the history of the sites. She also educated us about Japanese history, culture, and their admirable people. The driver, Mr. Tiki was a very professional and nice gentleman. Thanks to him for assisting us throughout the tour throughout Tokyo then to Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi, Hakone plus many sites on the road and back. This tour was a small but well-organized group of only 8 people. We enjoyed so much for this unforgettable occasion.
