“Amazing day and experience!”
Ryo was the best guide. With his knowledge of the place as a local and his always smile he showed us around and adapted on the go to our needs and expectations. He was very patient with our son and made a great tour which could also attract his (short) attention. Important: he speaks perfect English, unlike other guides who apparently don’t make it easy… I definitely recommend him and would do another tour with him at any time if I could.

“An amazing day at Mt Fuji with Reyohei”
Reyohei planned the perfect day exploring the beauty and wonder that mt fuji had to offer! Even after I broke my foot before my trip Reyohei creatively revised our itinerary so we could still spend the day in nature while being accessible for me and fun and engaging for my 10 year old Daughter. I couldn’t recommend Reyohei enough. He has deep knowledge of the natural world in mt Fuji as well as the people, culture and food! Thank You Reyohei! We look forward to returning another time when both my feet are well and hiking to the top of Mt. Fuji with you!

Whenever coming back to Japan, please let me know, then we will do hiking Mt. Fuji together! Thank you for coming to Japan and Mt. Fuji this time.

“A wonderful tour guide - fluent in English, knowledgeable about Mt. Fuji and area”
Ryohei was a fantastic tour guide! Our family was a group of 4 adults visiting from Canada. Ryohei was great to work with to customize an itinerary. Even after the research I did in the area, his suggested itinerary is was what we ended up going with. Although I considered traveling locally on our own, having him as a tour guide was the best decision we could have made. There was no guesswork and no wasted time trying to navigate local transportation. His English is excellent. He has a friendly demeanor and our group was very comfortable asking him questions. He offered to take photos for us and made recommendations on local businesses to visit or restaurants to eat at. Everything he recommended was as great as he described it would be. He was flexible about staying longer in some locations or taking detours to other locations. He was very punctual and picked our group up at our accommodations in Fujiyoshida. He kept us aware of our schedue and time constraints as well. His vehicle was clean and spacious. He also made additional accommodations for our group, which we very much appreciated. We couldn't recommend him enough.
