Natsuka was lovely,...

Natsuka was lovely, taking time to find out what we were interested in and wanted to see and then making sure the tour included those things. She was very knowledgeable on all aspects of local life from the Samurai to the local crafts and craftsmen to the gardens. She took us to the food hall and explained Japanese food - what it is made of and how it's prepared, as well as trying some lovely items that we wouldn't normally buy. A very enjoyable few hours with a lovely lady.

Stressful Start, Incredible Mount Fuji Tour

The beginning of our trip was a bit stressful. Even though we arrived early, navigating Shinjuku Station and finding the pickup location was overwhelming. I highly recommend doing a trial run to the meeting point before your tour. Once we got started, the rest of the Mount Fuji tour was excellent! Our guide, Sandy, was very informative, organized, and took us to the best viewpoints. He also helped us find the perfect spots for amazing Mount Fuji photos. Overall, it was a wonderful experience despite the stressful start

A Fun Day

A well-organized tour with beautiful stops at Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, and Chureito Pagoda. We climbed nearly 500 steps to the pagoda at the end of the tour, but unfortunately Mount Fuji stayed hidden behind the clouds all day. Even so, the scenery was lovely, and our guide Christy was friendly and informative. We had a great time and would recommend this tour.

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.

Nikko!

Melody (guide) and Kurokawa-San (driver) we the dynamic duo for this adventure! This was a large group and Melody was available and very tentative to this multi lingual group. She constantly made herself available and mingled so everyone was taken care of. She knocked this tour out of the park and it was so much fun! Recommendations were great (and delicious!) and it was a wonderful experience! Both Melody and Kurokawa-San deserve a raise! Don’t miss an opportunity to join this tour!

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.

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.
