Excellent tour, friendly and thoughtful guide - Excellent tour. Cindy met us at our hotel and gave great advice about which locations would work best for us. We visited the Chureito Pagoda and springs at Oshino, both of which were beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent experience with Yoshii K. - Yoshii Kenichi was an excellent guide! He gave us many options for activities, gave us an excellent history of Japan, and also took us took an excellent lunch spot. He was kind and also showed us many photos of his travels during the downtimes. Also, our bus leaving the Fuji area didn't leave until 5:50pm, but our experience with Yoshii finished at 3pm. He took us to the museum and gave us some additional suggestions until our departure. Highly recommend him!

Highly recommended - We took a day trip from Tokyo and even though bus was late, Cindy was super patient. she was very kind, helpful, personable and super knowledgeable since she grew up in the area. It was a rainy day and even though we were disappointed we could not see my Fuji, she still made sure we had a great time and kept checking on us along the way. Cindy even made sure we purchased our ticket back to Tokyo and made sure we got on the bus ok. Cannot recommend her enough :)

A majestic scenery! - We had a great tour that day. Our tour guide Chinami was very helpful and knew all the best spots around Mt Fuji. She was very enthusiastic and was always one step ahead so our tour would be smoother and more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour and Chinami as your tour leader.

Mt Fuji Five lakes - Midori San was a friendly and very knowledgeable you guide. We started at Oshino Hakkai and then headed to Kawaguchiko lake where we went on the ropeway and sightseeing boat. The views of Japan covered in snow were beautiful. It was very magical. Also the lunch that Midori San recommended was so tasty, highly recommend!

Loved our day with Taka - Absolutely amazing day with Taka! He was kind enough to start our day earlier so as to avoid holiday traffic. He took great photos for us, was super knowledgeable and even took us to an authentic udon noodle restaurant. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience in Lake Kawaguchiko - We had an amazing time with our Tour Guide Yumi... Her knowledge of the area and friendliness was exceptional. We definitely recommend Yumi to show you the sights of the Lake Kawaguchiko area!... The view from the Churieto pagada in particular was spectacular!

Mt. Fuji Area - We booked the Mt.Fuji 5 Lakes area full day private trip with our guide Koba. This was an incredible day. Koba was so knowledgeable about how to get around and was able to provide a lot of flexibility for us to see everything we wanted to see. We hit all of the tour spots early and without much tour traffic because of Koba’s excellent planning. In addition, he was able to educate us on the area and provide a local’s insight which I feel was invaluable. He was also a joy to be around all day and was kind and helpful. We explored all of the places we wanted but we’re also fortunate to have such a friendly guide.

Incredible tour of Kawaguchiko with beautiful views of Mt. Fuji - My wife and I absolutely loved our tour of Kawaguchiko with Midori. Midori recommended both known and off the beaten path locations which all offered beautiful views of Fuji-san. Midori was extremely knowledgeable about the local area and offered many insights we would not have gotten had we visited by ourselves. Overall this was one of the most enjoyable tours in any country we've visited.
