“Wonderful Day with Yasuko – Highly Recommended!”
My family and I had a fantastic experience with Yasuko as our guide. From the moment she met us at our cruise ship, she was warm, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. She expertly guided us through various trains and buses — including the bullet train — to reach Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha, where we enjoyed a walk through the shrine grounds. Our next stop was the World Heritage Fujisan Center, where we hoped to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji. Though it had been hidden behind clouds all day, Yasuko worked her magic (we joke she made the clouds clear!) and just as we reached the top of the World Heritage Fujisan Center the Mountain revealed itself in all its glory. She then took us to a wonderful local restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal together — a real highlight. At the end of the tour, Yasuko surprised us with handmade origami of Mt. Fuji and cranes. We highly recommend Yasuko to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated guide. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

“Great tour experience!”
Dai was great! We appreciated him meeting us at our hotel. From there, we took a bus to the Shinjuku Station. He showed us how to pay for the fares and how to use the machines. We did 2 half day tours (4 hours each) and he took us to 3 different locations. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was also very patient and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, Dai! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tokyo!

“6 hr trip from Shimizu cruise port”
Everything we asked for and more. Moto was waiting as our party of four disembarked the cruise ship. He had hired a very comfortable car and it was great to skip the queues and head off on our Taylor made trip. Moto was informative , spoke perfect English and was very pleasant. We visited a tea plantation , Shiraito falls, Sake brewery , Mt. Fuji interactive museum and enjoyed a delicious traditional Japanese lunch . A great day and we were lucky enough to have plenty great views of Mt Fuji along the way. Highly recommend
