From Tokyo: Mount Fuji Sightseeing One Day Trip

Ilona_G, Apr 2026

Nice day trip. The tour...

Nice day trip. The tour guide communications were clear, we had a group WhatsApp chat so everything was announced there in advance. The bus left on time and we were warned about potential traffic, and still got back at a decent hour. The tour guide was really nice and despite it being a cloudy day, she talked about the view during the drive. We were given enough time during stops for free time. Overall, good day trip despite the weather, and we did get glimpses of mt Fuji.

Mount Fuji, Kamakura, Big Buddha, & Lake Ashi Day Trip

Ray_B, Apr 2026

Fantastic tour! Well worth it!

This excursion was an absolutely fantastic way to experience some of Japan’s most iconic sights in one day. From start to finish, everything was well organized and ran smoothly. Seeing Mount Fuji was truly breathtaking. We were very lucky that we had a bright sunny clear day that made it even more magical and unforgettable. Kamakura was a highlight, especially visiting the Great Buddha, which is even more impressive in person. The history and peaceful atmosphere there really stood out. Also, Lake Ashi was another beautiful stop, offering scenic views and a relaxing change of pace. The combination of cultural landmarks, natural beauty, and comfortable transportation made this a well-balanced and enjoyable day. It is a full day with an early start, but absolutely worth it if you want to see a lot in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan for the first time or those wanting to check off some must-see destinations in one trip. We stopped for lunch which was delightful and delicious. Our tour guide was from Spain but really knew his history and facts about this wonderful country!

A memorable experience

Our guide, Ms Rino, was exceptionally good. Anecdotes & her exuberance made the whole trip stand out. She participated in all the major spots visited during the trip. Her sketchbook with hand made sketches and notes showed her passion. Mijamiya was serene, peaceful, full of life and in full cherry blossom bloom. Memorable trip with a combination of exotic food and shrine. Hiroshima was a reminder of what human do to serene places. A numbing experience.

Our Day In Kochi

Mihoko was a delight from the beginning, she was easy to communicate with while making our plans for the tour. She was prompt meeting us and was a wonderful guide because she was very knowledgeable about Kochi. She was accommodating when we kept changing our plans. We were a group of six people and we all give her 5 stars. Thank you Mihoko for a great day.

From Fukuoka: Miyazaki, Takachiho Gorge And Shrine Day Tour

Chris_H, Aug 2025

Molly is the best, the trip was fine.

The shrines are beautiful, with going on a tour, the crowds take up most of the space and getting a clear picture is difficult. With the gorge, you don't get to go into a boat like the picture suggests. It's a lovely stroll but not what we expected. Additionally, our guide Molly was amazing. Talk about the most selfless, entertaining, and knowledgeable person around, she did an amazing job at keeping our group safe and happy. If I could have Molly as my person guide for my trip to Japan I would.
