Highly recommend - We had an amazing experience exploring the Fuji five lakes area and the stunning fall foliage with Midori as our guide. She was incredibly responsible, well-organized, and tried her best to make sure everything went smoothly for the day. Communication (in English) with her was also effortless, her friendly and approachable nature made the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommend her as a guide!

Excellent Mt. Fuji Tour with Private Guide - Our guide Midori had already contacted us in advance and worked out a daily plan based on our wishes. At the same time, she made justified adjustments, which we greatly appreciated. Midori speaks perfect English, which made everything a lot easier. We have reached all destinations by public transport or on foot. At lunchtime we were eating 'Oshino soba', highly recommended. Finally, we visited the Kitaguchi Hongu Fushi Singing Shrine with its great stone lanterns and millennial trees. We were lucky that we were able to attend a tea ceremony on site. All in all it was a wonderful day with Midori - thank you.

Spectacular day tour of the Mt. Fuji area - May-San is personable and a very knowledgeable guide. He was willing to listen & customized the tour to our liking. The 8 hour excursion with May exceeded our expectations. We are also blessed with beautiful weather. The view of Mt. Fuji from the Twin Terrace was spectacular! His recommendation for dining was delightful as well. I strongly recommend the hiring of May-San as your private guide for the day.

Incredible tour guide, incredible scenery, incredible value - The tour guide, May, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of Kawaguchiko as well as any questions we had about the area/Japan as a whole. The tour encompassed several areas of kawaguchiko that we had not known about or seen before. All stops on the tour came with immense amounts of knowledge and history provided by May. We were able to see Mt. Fuji on a beautiful clear day in November (Picture attached) and walked away feeling like we got the best possible value for our money. Highly recommend and am grateful for the experience we had.

Great Experience - Michio was an incredible guide! He took us to 5th station, the Mt. Fuji cultural center, and a sake tasting and was very helpful throughout the entire experience. He provided both great conversation in english and was also able to communicate our needs in japanese to local staff in order to create the best experience possible. When we missed our bus and it started pouring rain, he called the company to get a ride for us. Overall, it was a great tour and I 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 :)
