Mt. Fuji is at its most beautiful in Winter, but most tourists or people living in Japan visit in Summer to climb to the summit.
At greenT Guides we believe in offering something different and we are planning a day tour to experience the beauty of Mt. Fuji in Winter. The trip will be available to people visiting or living in Japan, and it will be arranged through a licensed travel agent.

Hi,
I finally got on here to check it out! It looks great. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. I liked reading about your magic carpet, it sounds interesting…I wonder if it really works. I am definitely of course interested in coming on the tour in December. And I will try to get at least 4-5 other teachers. Would you like me to invite more people. I can if you want. And thanks for sharing your experiences.
