Takumu and Noriko made the entire experience unforgettable from start to finish. Their deep knowledge of the area, combined with their warm personality made the tour truly special.
Seeing Mt Fuji in person was absolutely breathtaking! They knew exactly where to take us to have the best view of Mt Fuji. Furthermore, they were able to adapt to last minute changes to the itinerary which was fantastic as we got to see Shiraito falls which had an unforgettable view of Mt Fuji as well.
More so, for lunch they brought us to a small local restaurant known for the best yakisoba in Fujinomiya. They explained its history and what makes it unique to the region, which made the experience even more meaningful.
In addition to the already amazing experience, they were able to provide a tradition green tea tasting in a traditional tea house. It was exactly what you see in movies.
Overall, they were professional, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about sharing Japanese culture. I recommend extending the tour as well to make the already special experience even more memorable. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!
Thank you again Takumu and Noriko!

We took this tour as family of 3 as we were traveling from Tokyo to Osaka. I booked this tour well in advance of our trip and appreciated the immediate and personalized tour that I was able to design with our guide, Takumu. I was able to adjust the itinerary as we talked through options and was given assistance with booking our bullet train tickets in line with our itinerary. Our goals were to get some nice picturesque shots of Mt Fuji and also get off the beaten path from most of the traditional tourist spots and this tour definitely met those expectations. Definitely well worth it to make this stopover in Fujinomiya and strongly recommend this tour for others traveling to/from Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto. Thank you Takumu for a lovely trip!

Dear Natalie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It was a real pleasure planning your family's stopover in Fujinomiya together, and I'm so glad that booking early gave us room to shape an itinerary which truly fit what the three of you were hoping for. Helping with your bullet train tickets and finding those quieter, picture worthy spots away from the usual tourist crowds was honestly one of the best parts of my week. If you ever swing back through the Mt. Fuji area, please do say hello again. Wishing you many more wonderful trips ahead!
Warmly,
Takumu

All was efficient and super easy, from booking to pick up. Our two hosts were super pleasant. Couldn’t recommend more - 10/10!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Isabelle,
What a lovely surprise to read your review, thank you so much for the kind words! Hearing that everything from the booking process all the way through to pickup felt smooth and easy genuinely makes our day. My partner and I really enjoyed hosting you, and a 10/10 from you means more than you know. We hope the rest of your travels in Japan continued to be just as enjoyable, and if you ever find yourself near Mt. Fuji again, we'd love to welcome you back.
All the best,
Takumu

I couldn’t recommend Taku more as a tour guide! He took me and my boyfriend on such a lovely tour around Fuji and the town. He gave us options on what we wanted to pick from and he even added more. Not only was he so delightful and fun to talk to, he also made us feel so welcome to his town. If you want an amazing experience full of great food, detailed history, and a genuine fun time. Book with Taku!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Shannon,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Spending the day showing you and your boyfriend around my hometown and the Fuji area was honestly such a joy. I'm really glad you enjoyed having the freedom to choose your favorites (and the little extras I sneaked in), and that the food, the history, and just hanging out together all came together so nicely. Welcoming visitors who are open to exploring is what makes this work so meaningful for me. I hope the rest of your Japan trip was just as memorable, and if you ever return, you both have a friend in Fujinomiya!
Cheers,
Takumu

It was such a unique experience! The driver was really nice and knowledgeable. He really taught us about the culture in Japan. I will take this over shopping in Tokyo any day!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Angelo,
Reading your review just made my morning! It means a lot that the cultural side of the day landed with you, because sharing those small everyday parts of Japanese life is something I genuinely care about. Trading a Tokyo shopping day for time out here in the countryside is, in my completely biased opinion, always the right call, so I'm very glad you felt the same way. Wishing you safe travels onward, and please come back for more local stories whenever you can!
Warm regards,
Takumu

Taku is an amazing guide! He took us to all the local spots, picture view points, and made this experience one we will never forget. We are so happy to have found this tour with Taku!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Madison,
These kind words really mean a lot, thank you for sharing them! Taking guests to my favorite local spots and quiet picture viewpoints is one of my absolute favorite parts of this job, so knowing the day became a memory you'll keep makes me incredibly happy. I'm so grateful that you chose to spend your time with me out here in the Fuji area, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. Wishing you many more amazing adventures, and please do stop by again if life ever brings you back to Japan!
With thanks,
Takumu

Takumu was a brilliant guide from the start! Easy to communicate with when booking & gave a variety of options for the day. Takumu is local to the area so he took us to his favourite spots to enjoy the mountain views. We went to the Mt.Fuji heritage centre, Fugisanhongu sengentaisha which offered amazing views of Mt.Fuji. We then had Takumu’s favourite Yakisoba for lunch which was delicious and then finished our afternoon with a traditional tea experience. We got lucky with clear views of Mt.Fuji all day. We had so much fun and highly recommend Mt.Fuji soul tours!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for such an amazing review, Ruby! I am so happy to have you guys as my guests, I had so much fun spending time with you. So glad the mountain showed up for you too. Hope to see you again and safe travels;)

We had an amazing experience with Tamuku! Unfortunately, the day we were at Mount Fuji it was raining. Tamuku immediately found an alternative activity which we thoroughly enjoyed – a private tea ceremony. Tamuku took us to a local bakery, to eat yakisoba and pork buns. The food was amazing!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words, Annette! The weather didn't go as planned, but moments with you guys remind us why we love what we do. We truly hope to welcome you back again someday!
