Our guide for the day was Mazda san. We got 3-for-1 with him - He is a great guide, a very safe driver, and a creative photographer. He went over various options, heard our preferences and came up with a custom itinerary for the day. For example, he took as to an onsen in Mt Fuji and set aside 45 minutes for a bike tour as we requested. He provide a lot of information through out the day and took pictures of our family w/ great enthusiasm. One of the best, if not the best, guide we have seen in the 4 continents we have toured.
