Kye and Ryoka picked us up at the cruise port, they were awesome! It was a long day, however, it was well planned out including little extra stops we were not planning. Seeing the snow monkeys was a bucket list item. It was an easy walk to see them and had plenty of time to see them and take pictures. Recommend the apple ice cream and warm apple turnover after seeing the monkeys at the bottom of the hill. Yum! We were also able to shop at the pokeman store, pictures of the Tokyo tower, liberty statue and pick up an extra suitcase for souvenirs.. They were friendly and a lot of fun! Highly recommend them. Btw, Kye keeps an eye on the time to ensure we make it to our appointments. Well planned out!

Kye was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledge about everything Japanese. We had a great time and will use him and his company on future trips.

This was a fantastic experience! Kye was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and fun. It is a long day trip from Tokyo but he made it go by quickly. I would recommend warm cloths and crampons in winter. Highly recommend.

Kye was a fantastic guide. He was super knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. He was able to answer all of our questions and more. We managed to see 2 shrines, a hilltop view and a lakeside view of my Fuji with fantastic visibility.
We left Tokyo at 8am. If we did it again we would go with Kye’s recommendation to leave earlier to beat the traffic and would have saved an hour of driving.
The van was a 6 seater, super luxurious and comfortable with strong AC, leg room, reclining functions and Netflix to keep us entertained.
We are so grateful to Kye who really made our day perfect. He was super flexible and accomodating to our needs and desires. He also gave us great tips of what else we should see and do in Tokyo for the remainder of our stay. We would recommend for all

Mt Fuji was spectacular and we really enjoying browsing around the shops in one of the local villages.

This tour was amazing! We were actually debating whether we needed a guide or not, but after today, we are so glad we chose to take this package!
We were able to see more scenic routes and take more memorable pictures because the tour guide was so flexible. We were originally supposed to stop by a traditional village first, but the tour guide saw at that time that we would have a good chance of seeing the peak of Mt. Fuji and altered the schedule to accommodate that. If he didn’t adjust, we might have not gotten a chance to see the peak at all.
The tour guide was good natured and highly responsive: when one of us got injured, he went out of the way to stop by a pharmacy to buy some bandages and medicine. He was really nice and directed us to the best spots to take pictures. On the drive back, he even gave suggestions for good and affordable food all around Tokyo, which was really helpful for us tourists!
We were able to see all the key spots and finished on schedule so we weren’t too tired by the end.
Learning about Japan during this tour was very relaxed, making it easier to remember rather than an uncomfortable information dump full of facts that you have no way of recalling. Having a native English speaker was definitely a great help.
The car also had a TV to stream Netflix with on the long drive back.
Also the complimentary peach water was so refreshing. 👌🏻
