Mount Fuji day trip

Mount Fuji day trip was an excellent experience and one of the highlights of our time in Japan. A special thank you to our guide Keiko who was friendly, knowledgeable, organised, and made the day both enjoyable and informative. Her enthusiasm for Japan, its culture, and the local area brought each stop to life, and she was happy to share interesting facts along the way. The tour was well-paced, comfortable, and stress-free, allowing us to relax and take in the experience while learning more about this iconic part of Japan. Thank you Keiko.

Kyoto Customized Half-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide

Robert_O, Jul 2026

Exceptional and Seamless Kyoto Experience!

If you are looking for an incredible, stress-free introduction to Kyoto, I cannot recommend Kaeko Tanigawa highly enough! From the very beginning, Kaeko’s organization was flawless. She met me right on the Shinkansen platform at Kyoto Station exactly as planned, completely taking the guesswork out of navigating a busy transit hub. In just four hours, we managed to see three of Kyoto's absolute icons—Nijo Castle, the breathtaking Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion), and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Despite covering so much ground, the pace never felt rushed. Kaeko expertly navigated Kyoto’s city subways and buses, making the transit between sites feel smooth and effortless. Her knowledge and insights brought the history of each location to life. She perfectly timed the tour to end at Fushimi Inari Shrine, giving me clear, easy directions on how to take the 5-minute JR line back to Kyoto Station. This allowed me to explore the magical thousands of red Torii gates at my own leisure as the evening set in. Kaeko is professional, incredibly kind, organized, and a wonderful guide. Thank you, Kaeko, for an unforgettable day in Kyoto!

Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour

Faryal_M, Jul 2026

Best tour if you are heading to Hiroshima

This trip was absolutely exceptional. Hiroshima memorial is a must see of course. But adding the island trip to the tour we truly balancing. Do not miss the two for one experience. We stayed in Hiroshima for two nights. But we also saw people who came in by the bullet train in the morning and left in the evening.

Nikko, Kegon Waterfall & Chuzenji Lake from Tokyo

Cristina_A, Jun 2026

Great tour outside of Tokyo

Peru was a great guide who gave us great information in the bus as we were driving to the Nikko shrine . He answered every question I had, and was very knowledgeable. Once we got to the shrine, Peru also gave us some more information and then we had plenty of time on our own. We did go to the waterfall and the lake, but unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate those two places. But it was a wonderful day overall. My only negative comment would be to make sure NOT to purchase the lunch that was optional to buy. The food there was not good at all. Plus, there were other places to get food in the time span that we had.

1-Day Snow Monkeys, Zenko-ji Temple & Sake in Nagano

Suraj_S, Jun 2026

Worth every cent

What a great experience on 09 June with a local tour guide. I hope I recall your name correctly, Hana San who also has work experience with Fujitsu. Being the only guest on this tour, meant I got the full attention of the team, from setting the pace, to learning a lot more about the attractions and their history in a 1 on 1 experience and to sharing some of our personal stories as well. We started with the tour of Zenkoji temple and it's surrounds which included other temples and stores that used local produce to create local delicacies. That was followed by a short walk to the sake tasting and that in itself was quite a great experience, learning about the different ways sake is made and how different levels of refinement are achieved. Next was a sumptuous lunch, a full course meal, at an upmarket and serene venue away from the city close to the snow monkeys. After lunch, we took a brisk stroll to view the monkeys, the gods smiled on us that day, offering great weather and a perfect close up of the snow monkeys, many with young offspring, presenting many perfect photo opportunities. Sadly, the day had to end but it was money very well spent and a moment that I will always cherish.

I had a great time on...

I had a great time on this tour with Kuroda as the guide. He provided information on the bus in Japanese and English. He was both professional and funny! There was sufficient time to explore each own on our own. Lunch was excellent. Gokayama was a hidden gem that shouldn’t be missed!

Mt. Fuji, Chureito Pagoda & Lake Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo

Margaret_B, May 2026

Highly recommend this tour to see Mt Fuji and surrounding sites!

This was our favorite day in our two week trip to Japan! It was amazing to see the more rural side of Japan. The spots on the tour offer wonderful views of Mt Fuji. We couldn’t see much of the mountain but it still was a wonderful day! We did the lunch option with a hot pot and it was a fun experience. Our tour guide Eric was great! He offered good tips and was a fun tour guide.

Naoko is an amazing ambassador!

Naoko (Noah) was wonderful! Very communicative; she gave so many options to customize the experience! She was in constant contact to ensure we met up on time and in the correct location. Showed us so many wonderful sights of the area, and even though the weather was terrible, and we had to pivot our plans a few times, we still had a great experience. Highly recommend her services!

Nikko World Heritage One Day Tour from Tokyo

elisiateese, Apr 2026

Great day trip from Tokyo

Had a lovely experience. The guide, Mai-san was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with fun facts about Japan, it's history and culture. Just the right amount of walking around considering we only arrived the night before and still very tired and jetlagged. Uchida-San, the driver, was great as well as he navigated through the mountain road with ease. We came the right day as there was a festival on the day so saw some of the procession. The waterfall left a lot to be desired since it's not rainy season but all in all, had a really great day.

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.
