A must do day trip from Tokyo - Yoshimi and Taiji, you were wonderful and made our full day experience all that much better. You were very accommodating, knowledgeable, and spoke wonderful English. Our daughters really enjoyed the entire day. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a day trip out of Tokyo to experience the beautiful nature and culture Japan has to offer.

Nikko day trip from Tokyo - We had an amazing day with our guide Ken-san and driver Toshi-san. They were punctual and excellent communicators and Ken was very informative and interested in our family, and very good with our two young boys at Edo wonderland. Ken and Toshi were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble, they even went on an ice-cream hunt for our kids. We will remember this tour fondly and highly recommend.

Waterfalls and incredible tour - What an incredible day with our guide Noriko and our driver Tak. We drove from Tokyo to Nikko in a comfortable car, we saw 3 amazing waterfalls, and enjoyed the changing of the leaves. We also got an amazing hike in the National Park. What an incredible day. Thank you again Noriko and Tak- for the amazing day and for all the photos you took!! I highly recommend this team!

A must do day trip out of Tokyo - We highly recommend this experience - it includes both amazing natural and cultural experiences. Yoshimi is a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable, and after it was over you felt like you made a friend in Japan. We will definitely book again with this company! Thank you Yoshimi and Taiji!

Great experience - Our guide Ken & driver Taku were great. We were able to cover many sites & experiences in such a short time. Definitely couldn’t have done that on our own. The only negative was the weather as it rained all day. However, even that proved an experience we’ll never forget. Both were very accommodating as we had one person in our party that walked very slowly.

Our favorite guide and tour of our entire trip! - I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this tour—and especially our tour guide, Yoshimi-san! If there’s such a thing as a perfect guide, she was it: warm and friendly, knowledgeable and prepared, able to flex on the fly and just an outstanding communicator. She and our equally outstanding driver worked as a team to show us beautiful Nikko on a misty fall day, stopping to explain history and give us lots of time for photo ops of the gorgeous fall scenery. A member of our group even had a food allergy, and Yoshimi-san made sure that allergy was accommodated in the chosen restaurant and snacks. From minute one, we felt like we’d made two new friends in Japan. Arigato gozaimasu, Yoshimi-san!

Not just for kids... - Our family visited Shrines, bridges, Jizo and Edo Wonderland. All wonderful, but the young adults loved the challenge of the ninja courses. Softball was excellent training for shuriken throwing. Masae, our friendly guide, provided lively historical background and helpful advice. Driver Toshi efficiently anticipated our every move. Highly recommend.

Awesome day in Nikko - The tour to Nikko was both fun and interesting. Taiji took us to the most interesting places in Nikko and he shared a great wealth of knowledge about them that put context to the places we were seeing. I highly recommend taking this tour if your ever in Tokyo.
