Fuji-san is a friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced guide. He provided clear and informative explanations during the tour, with just the right amount of detail.
A major advantage of this tour was that Fuji-san used his own vehicle, which saved time and made it possible to see many of the main sights in the Ise area efficiently in a single day. Thanks to this, I was able to visit the main places I wanted to see--Meoto no Iwa, Naiku, Mikimoto Pearl Island--and, in addition, enjoy the beautiful view from Mt. Asama. He also built time into the itinerary for me to do some shopping and patiently helped me find the items I was looking for. I would definitely recommend Fuji-san to anyone looking for a personalized and efficient tour of the Ise area.

This was a wonderful tour of Ise with visits to the famous shrines in the area as well as visiting Mikimoto Pearl Island. I had wanted to go previously, but it was logistically complicated and difficult without a translator and car hire. This tour made it possible to see a lot in just one day. My guide for the day, Fuji-san, was very prepared and provided information along the way for context. He also translated for me when I wanted to buy things and took photos of me during the trip, and even helped me with purchasing a train ticket on the way back. I highly recommend this tour if you want a complete, worry-free visit to Ise!

I had such a great time exploring Ise and Toba with you. Your curiosity and enthusiasm made the tour very special for me as well. I hope the perls you purchased are bringing back good memories!
Take care, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
Sincerely, Fuji

Viator and the tour operator took my money and gave me nothing. I asked for help from both parties and neither one was helpful

Fuji-San was an excellent host. His communication style was clear and prompt. He shared information about the different sites in Ise, as well as sharing information about Japanese culture. He adapted to the interests of the different members of our group, which also included a 12 year old. His vehicle was impecable. Overall, we had a most amazing day and would recommend this private tour of Ise with Fuji without reservation.
