Private tour of Ise - Fuji-San was an excellent host. His communication style was clear and prompt. He shared information about the different sites in Ise, as well as sharing information about Japanese culture. He adapted to the interests of the different members of our group, which also included a 12 year old. His vehicle was impecable. Overall, we had a most amazing day and would recommend this private tour of Ise with Fuji without reservation.
