Unforgettable Mt. Fuji Experience with Erik! 🗻❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Unforgettable Mt. Fuji Tour with Erik! Our trip to Mt. Fuji was truly one of the most amazing experiences of our entire visit to Japan, and a huge part of that was because of our wonderful guide, Erik! From the beginning to the end, Erik was absolutely fantastic. He was kind, friendly, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. He made us feel comfortable and welcome from the very first moment. The views of Mt. Fuji were breathtaking, but what made the day even more special was the way Erik guided us through the experience. He shared interesting information, helped us enjoy every stop without feeling rushed, and made the entire day fun and memorable. Traveling with my son, I especially appreciated how attentive and thoughtful he was with both of us. You can tell that Erik doesn't simply do this as a job — he truly wants his guests to have an incredible experience and leave Japan with beautiful memories. And that is exactly what he gave us. ❤️🇯🇵🗻 If you are planning a Mt. Fuji tour, ask for Erik! I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the kind of guide you remember long after your vacation is over. Thank you, Erik, for giving us such a special day and memories that my son and I will treasure forever. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Japan! 10/10 — absolutely recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Unforgettable Mt. Fuji Experience with Erik! 🗻❤️

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.

Wonderful tour - highly recommend

Great tour, very informative of the places visited, well paced and very enjoyable experience. The lunch option was a lovely touch and can highly recommend. Wonderful guide and driver. Our guide was very knowledgeable, throughout the tour they imparted gems of information in connection with each of the sites we visited so that we were really able to get the most out of each location, great sense of humour, led the day very professionally and looked after all. Highly recommend.

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.

Josie_W, Jun 2026

Amazing tour with shuttle ride and sweet treat!

This tour was super fun! Make sure you are capable of going up and down a lot of stairs. We made three stops and every time there were stairs. When we went it was raining and the tour guide gave us umbrellas which was nice. This tour is also the only one the does a shuttle service for the last stop (takachiho gorge) so you don’t have to go back up the steps. Our tour guide Summer was very sweet and helpful. At the end they gave us traditional sweets for each person which was an amazing gift. Highly recommend booking with GoGo!

Miyajima Experience

Excellent tour. Hiroshi Tsuji is a wonderful guide. He walked us through the Miyajima shrine explaining what we saw and what it meant. Thanks to Hiroshi, we got to try the local "fast food", Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki for lunch. Amazing! Wonderful day in Miyajima. Thanks, Hiroshi.

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.

A Beautiful Journey Through the Japanese Alps

This one-day tour from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go and Takayama was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip through Japan. The journey itself is part of the pleasure, travelling through the dramatic landscapes of the Japanese Alps before arriving at the remarkable village of Shirakawa-go. The traditional gassho-zukuri houses, surrounded by mountains, create a scene that feels almost timeless. Takayama offers a different charm. Its beautifully preserved old town, wooden merchant houses, sake breweries and small shops provide a wonderful glimpse into historic Japan. The tour was very well organised, the coach comfortable, and the guide professional and attentive. The schedule allowed enough time to explore each destination while still keeping the day relaxed. For travellers staying in Kanazawa, this tour is an excellent way to experience two of central Japan’s most atmospheric places in a single day.
