We were so lucky that we had a beautiful day and that Mt Fuji was spectacular despite hiding the topmost of it's peak. Our hosts, Aaron and Tamie were so friendly and we're genuinely interested in us and what we've seen and done. The bike ride was picturesque and not too strenuous due to flat ground - I was initially worried about my fitness level (I'd describe it as low but can walk a fair distance & do ride bikes occasionally). Aaron's biking and hiking/mountaineering experience was evident in his ability to perfectly tailor the ride to our level of cardio/technical abilities and could easily scale up or down according.
The photos that Aaron & Tamie took of us during the trip were fantastic. We did wish we could have done a longer trip and stayed in the region longer but couldn't due to time restraints. We'll be coming back.
