Contact NPO GoodDay Tour Team E-Mail: gdtour@goodday2u.org
some staffs can speak English.
210000 people climb Fujiyama a year (2005), and 30% are said to be foreigners. 63000 people! wow! Trash around Mt. Fuji, the symbol of Japan, is an issue. How sad. If you are living in Japan, and looking for a place to go for the weekend, this can be the place!
45 people (mostly young business people) will be participating, and i'm pretty sure you will enjoy their company.
