If you are looking for the perfect guide for Mount Fuji, Rana is your guy. We showed up with a solid family itinerary, but he completely optimized our plan and took us to incredible spots we never would have found on our own. He was incredibly accommodating with our schedule. Pick up was a breeze, and he was flexible enough to drop us right at the Shinkansen station so we could easily catch our train to Kyoto. He also pointed us to a fantastic local food spot that was exactly what we needed. Honestly, one of the biggest bonuses was having Rana step in as our group photographer. I usually take all the pictures, so it is notoriously hard to get everyone in the frame at these epic locations. We are so grateful he was there to make sure we actually have great photos with the whole family together. I cannot recommend Rana enough!

We were lucky enough to get Aoi as our guide!! She was absolutely fantastic, showing our group (two adults and one Hello Kitty obsessed 6 year old girl) everything we needed in Harajuku. The lunch spot was also fantastic and a great memory we created. Aoi (our guide) had extremely great English and we had no trouble communicating at all!!!

This was the perfect experience for visiting Daikoku. The boys running it were very friendly and had some awesome facts along the way to the car meet. Even got a quick visit to the Nissan showroom on the way back and then dropped off straight to the train station. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a great time on this tour! Be mindful to get to the meeting location early and on time for check in so that the schedule isn’t interfered with. Our tour guides, Levin and Yuta-san were very knowledgeable and social. Always willing to help for a photo opportunity. Mt Fuji is famously known for only being visible 30% of the time so we were very lucky to have had a good weather day. We got up to station 4 on Mt. Fuji. We went to a restaurant with simple Japanese dishes served buffet style (it also had a ninja show which we didn’t partake but a ninja did greet us from the rooftop). And our last stop was a ferry around Lake Ashi. If you didn’t book the bullet train back to Tokyo, there’s still an option to book it with the group or at the station. I enjoy going on tours like these because it allows me to see more in a short amount of time as a solo traveler. Since it was February, it was very cold on the mountain and in the area so I’d suggest to wear layers to keep warm. But they kept the bus very temperate. Hope you book it and the weather lets you see all of Mt. Fuji.

GET AN IDP (INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS PERMIT BEFORE YOU DO THIS!). They will not let you go. It's a bit stressful at first with the safety briefing but it's much smoother once you get out there. Staff and our guide, Sam, were amazing! Japan doesn't work on tips, but they are appreciate (and well deserved) by the time you finish. You definitely get your money's worth!

Duke did a wonderful personal tour of Tokyo. He spent so much time asking our interests and then planning the perfect itinerary. Very thoughtful, knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver, was incredible - making difficult traffic look effortless. Highly recommend.
