“Yamanashi Day trip”

Right after exiting Kofu station Moto san, has been very thoughtful and informative on history and culture on Yamanashi. During the trip I have had an amazing experience that I will never forget from the views of Fuji, the lakes, and sake brewery. I would highly recommend him as a guide if you want to discover Yamanashi. I will definitely book with him again on my next trip to Japan.

Motoyuki H.

Thanks for your review. I was so happy to show you Yamanashi, where I live! I hope more tourists will become interested in and explore Japan's local cities, like you. I will support them, and it is my pleasure, see you again!

“Wonderful day with Moto”

Moto is super professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He did everything he could to make our day a very special one. We had some authentic Japanese experiences off the beaten path and had a perfect balance of nature and culture.

Thanks for five stars rating and comment for my performance. This area is my birthplace, so I should be professional, haha. Hope you come again, see you!

“Perfect views of Mt Fuji”

We were lucky to have a very sunny and clear day for our Mt. Fuji tour. Moto is a great guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He met us at the Shimizu port and took us to great viewing sites of Mt Fuji. He even took us to a local park with no tourists and the view was breathtaking. The falls were beautiful and he took us for lunch at a small local Japanese restaurant where the hostess was very gracious and the food good. It was an incredible and very enjoyable day with Moto as our guide. We highly recommend Moto and his Mt Fuji tour.

Motoyuki H.

Thanks for your review and scoring. The day was my last work for cruises this autumn. So much appreciated that it was a perfect day with beautiful Mt Fuji and wonderful guests! I will boost my performance for the next season. Happy days!
