Fall Break 2024 - Had a great day trip with Kye. Unfortunately due to the weather we weren’t able to visit Mt. Fuji but we took his suggestions and had a great time. We’re already talking about booking for next year.

Best Day Trip to Mt. Fuji ! - We had the best time on this tour! Kye did an awesome job planning our day for us and even though views of mt Fuji were limited he still help make the most of the day! We had so many pit stops seeing nature, a castle, flower park, lake, and ending the afternoon with a sunset at Oshino Hakkai! Definitely recommend booking and adding a visit to Mt Fuji area to your itinerary!

Mount Fuji Day Trip - We did the Mt. Fuji tour with Kye, who was fluent in both English and Japanese. His vehicle was spacious and comfortable for a family of 6. He recommended we leave at 6am to beat the traffic and it payed off as we were among the first to get to the pagoda viewing Mount Fuji. Overall, we had an excellent experience!

Fun Trip to Fujiyama with Kye - My first time using the company and it was an overall a great experience. Although we cannot see mt fuji at the clearest but Kye, our guide, has helped us a lot. Him being fun and supportive during our trip is really appreciated. Definitely recommended for having a private tour in Japan.

Incredible experience and guide - We had a great experience with our guide Kye and Japan Xperiences. He was incredible during the 5 days he guided us. Always taking care of every last detail. He was extremely knowledgeable about the things we should see/do, history, culture, etc. He was very easy to communicate with as a native English speaker and fluent in Japanese as a resident. The transportation was luxurious and comfortable as well. I would highly recommend him (and have), and would definitely hire him if we come back to Japan. Compared to some of the other guides we had earlier in our trip (before meeting Kye), there is no comparison. He was hands down better.

Best Mt Fuji Tour w/ Personality & Flexibility - We are absolutely thrilled we booked this private tour & got Kye as our guide. I can't imagine a better tour guide. We had a family of 9 with 3 kids: 11, 12 & 15 & booked the 14 passenger van, which was the right choice with each person having their own backpack. Kye had fantastic local knowledge, a great personality & unmatched flexibility. He made this tour so much better than if we tried doing this ourselves or even booked with a bigger tour service & probably saved us money. He definitely saved us time which is even more important because we only had 1 day to go to Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately, it wasn't the ideal weather during the day. But he absolutely made the most of the sites we saw & we were actually able to see breaks in the weather in perfect time for great pictures of Mt. Fuji above the clouds & just before the snow monkeys in Jigoku Dani climbed back up their mountain. We got heavily rained on in Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato traditional village. But were able to get some photos beforehand & Kye has some candids that we're anxiously awaiting, of us running back to the van. We also saw Shiraito Falls & the Wind Cave. He made great recommendations of sites to see all around the mountain, not just on one side like a lot of tours do. We highly recommend paying extra for the earlier start. We started @ 5am & beat virtually all the traffic leaving Tokyo. This saved us time & money, considering you could end up paying more for extension time because you're stuck in traffic. We paid for extra extension time because we wanted to see sites all around the mountain & he got us to each site quickly & let us explore as much as we wanted. If you want someone with great recommendations & personalized flexibility, look no further. If we have another opportunity to book with Japan Xperiences again, we will & will pay extra to lock in Kye, the main tour guide. He was simply the best! Can't wait to see the photos he took of our family! Thank you so much for making this tour a memorable one!

Castle, waterfalls, and bullet train! - Got a full day out of Tokyo and Kye knowing this even tailored our trip to allow for extra time out and about seeing the castle, the waterfalls and a desperate attempt at seeing some of Mt fuji

Luxurious. - This was an excellent, personal, luxurious experienced. No detail was left out. We were able to customize our tour starting with excellent views of Mt. Fuji, went to the ice cave and saw beautiful water falls. Having our own guide and car was super convenient. I highly recommend this tour for the personal experience. Our guide also took wonderful pictures of us.

Some nice sites, lots of sitting in the car. - We visited the suspension bridge which was very beautiful with the unique blue colored water below. It was, however quite a steep trek to get to. We also went to the ice cave, a village, a tea shop, and had lunch. Total trip time was close to 14 1/2 hours with much of it just sitting in a car.

Terrible experience - Disaster of a tour. In the hope of having the best possible experience we upgraded to early start, nicer car and ‘best’ guide at great cost. We were also offered adding a visit to Snow monkeys which we accepted. We were told we would visit 4-5 places from the list and expressed an interest in local foods and produce. We actually made 3 stops in the whole day and spent 17 hours in the car. 30 mins at a single Mount Fuji view and a rushed 30 mins outside Matsumoto castle (no time to go inside). We ‘didn’t have time for lunch’ leaving everyone hungry and unhappy because we’d chosen to see the snow monkeys but by the time we got to them it was closed so we couldn’t enter. Worst of all we were charged more than double the cost of the tour because of the overrun that we didn’t agree to nor had any control over. There was no way we could have done what was promised in the given time and the upselling of monkeys meant everything else in the day was sacrificed resulting in a rushed, hungry and unpleasant day. The unavoidable and excessive pricing for the overrun due to the companies poor planning feels a lot like a scam. Original cost: 821 USD Pre agreed upgrades: 915 USD Unagreed extension due to overrun: 2344 USD Total cost: 4,081 USD As a side note I did not receive any of the photos taken, was pressured throughout the day to sign up to a $10,000+ sword making class (which I declined) and we got back so late to Tokyo (midnight) that we missed the rest of our plans for the day.
