One Way Shuttle Van Transfer, Tokyo⇔Yamanashi(Mt.Fuji)
People used to have said that time is money. That's true.
Jet lag is what makes pleasure travel a disaster. That's true too. The best way to heal jet lag is to have a good sleep.
Unfortunately, recent shortage of active taxis are serious here in Japan, especially in some airports. when you arrive in the busiest time zone, you might have to wait for one hour just for a sedan type taxi. If you have several pieces of baggage, you would need van type vehicle. Eventually you should wait it for tow hours. That's a disaster!!!

We carefully select best drivers who might not speak fluent english, just a conversation level. But they are experts of driving knowledge.
