Highlight of my trip to Japan

Published on May, 2025

This was the best tour that I have ever taken. Johnny was the most professional, caring, knowledgeable, and fun professional who goes beyond what the job requires. He made arrangements for us to enjoy our trip including arrangements to go to the Fresh Water Restaurant. It was the best experience of our trip. Thank you so much for making this the highlight experience of our trip.

Make the most of Fuji with Johnny!

Published on Apr, 2025

Johnny was an excellent guide, providing a wonderful day of touring Mt. Fuji area. He knew all the shortcuts and hidden gems that only a committed local could possibly know. Some of our party have mobility limitations, and Johnny smartly accommodated them while conjuring adventure for the rest. Stop scrolling and pick Johnny!

Perfect tour in Fujikawaguchiko if you’re looking for both popular and hidden gems

Published on Apr, 2025

Johnny was the perfect choice for us: 1 elderly and 2 adult couples. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. Took us to both popular spots and hidden gems, while modifying and adjusting to our parents’ mobility challenges. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour and highly recommend Johnny!

The Only Way to See Fuji

Published on Jan, 2025

Listen. Johnny is the best guide we could have imagined. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and he did a great job getting to know us and our interests to tailor the tour to us! He knows the best sites that the big bus tours from the city won’t take you, and the whole trip is just fun and unforgettable. (Not to mention he takes photos of you so you can stay in the moment, a HUGE plus!) Thank you so much Johnny!

Personalized and amazing tour with the friendliest local guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

Johnny gave us an unforgettable day in Kawaguchiko and around Mt. Fuji! My wife and I had a unique itinerary where we were coming in from Kyoto and heading back to Tokyo the same day as the tour, and he was more than willing to accommodate us and make the most out of the time we had. He took our wishlist into account to craft a customized day tour. His knowledge of the area and each site we saw was such a fantastic enhancement to our tour. Plus, he's just a genuinely lovely guy and was a pleasure to hang out with for the day! We cannot recommend a tour with Johnny highly enough. We'll be seeing you again on our next trip, Johnny!
