Fantastic Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an amazing tour. Taka-san was the perfect combination of friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and enthusiastic. He took us to places we never would have found on our own, and each of them was facinating - and not touristy (a first for our Japan trip). He also went out of his way to accommodate our party, making sure that everyone could participate. We HIGHLY recommend Taka-san and hope to come back and take more tours with him. Thank you, Taka-san!

Best guide ever!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was such a brilliant way to get the best out of a trip to Kawaguchico. We beat the crowds to go to some seriously beautiful places, we had loads of photo opportunities, and there was a real focus on nature and appreciating the sights. Taka was a beautiful human being, patient, friendly, respectful and I loved how much he loves Fuji in all it's glory. The best holiday guide we have ever had. 100% recommended.

Taka is amazing

Published on Oct, 2024

An amazing tour that goes to less touristy yet very beautiful places. Picking up and dropping off from the hotel is very convenient. Taka is an amazing guide who loves Mt Fuji and will not only explain everything to you but also go out of his way to help. We mentioned we were having issues booking a bus ticket and he offered to help and call the ticket office for us. Recommend getting the additional hour add-on to spend more time exploring the region. Thanks for the amazing tour, Taka!

Natural Beauty

Published on Oct, 2024

Unfortunately Fuji San was in hiding the day I went, but I was still met by Taka on time and we went to all the least visited places. If you enjoy nature I think you will really like this tour. Please wear comfy nonslip shoes. You will be doing some light hiking and climbing. I climbed down into a cave even though I wasnā€™t sure I could, but it was a great experience!

Knowledgeable tour guide with excellent English speaking

Published on Oct, 2024

Taka was very prepared and his English is excellent. The places he took us were beautiful and so unique to the area. He has an extensive knowledge of the area and gave us such an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!
