Fujinaki Tours Ltd.

29 October 2003 – Hoping that The Last Samurai will do for Taranaki what LotR has done for its various NZ locations, local guide James Heremaia has added the ‘A Mountain Like Fuji’ tour to his Maori Journeys Ltd repertoire. Samurai star Tom Cruise has already provided the tour with invaluable publicity, describing the region as “absolutely stunning, breathtaking … how could anyone not want to be here?”
