One day tour to Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi
This is a trip to see the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji and one of five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano that last erupted from 1707 to 1708. At 3776m meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and its top and gentle slopes are surrounded by rich and unspoiled nature. The mountain attracts many climbers during summer, while in winter its snow-covered top and slope gleam pure white in the sun.

Nikko, "Must-see" spots in a day
The charm of Nikko is that one can enjoy both the natural beauty of its mountains, lakes and waterfalls-sacred places to mountain ascetics since 8th century-and the magnificent craftsmanship of the Toshogu constructed by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Nikko can be reached from the Tokyo by train in about two hours.

“Wonderful Experience!”
We had a truly wonderful time with our guide, Nao. We had three days of tours (Tokyo and Mt. Fuji) with Nao san and it was truly one of the best experiences that we have ever had as a family. Nao san is a very pleasant gentleman who is profoundly knowledgeable in all topics that would be of interest to a visitor in Japan. He is very engaging and he welcomed all questions from us. We learned so much from him. His management of the tours was comprehensive. He simplified all aspects of the tours which allowed us to enjoy the entire experience without having to worry about logistical details. He met us at our lobby every morning and expertly guided us on Japan’s complex rail and bus system, bringing us to our tours and then back to our hotel. He tailored our tours and dynamically adjusted the tours along the way to meet our changing needs and interests. He was very attentive and often did things for us that were completely unexpected. On one particular occasion, he painstakingly helped my daughter locate a unique item for purchase in a specialty store that spanned nine floors, talking to several store employees and traveling up and down stairs like someone on a special mission. He did this not because we asked him to, but because he wanted us to be happy and satisfied. He was timely, reliable and dependable. He was always well prepared and organized. He is very energetic and never seemed to show any signs of fatigue even on tours that would make most people feel exhausted. He will adjust to your pace but he is able to walk faster than most people if the tour schedule requires it. Perhaps most importantly, he took care of us in the way that a loved one or a dear friend would. Nao san is a special gentleman. It should be no surprise that we now consider him a lifelong friend and we will always treasure our experience with him. We highly recommend him to you no matter what you are interested in during your visit to Japan.

“Best Tour guide in Tokyo, Mt Fuji and Kamakura!”
My parents recent trip to Japan was nothing short of spectacular, and a huge part of that was thanks to our Nao. From the moment we engaged Nao to plan the trip, to the time my parents arrived, he made them feel welcomed and excited to explore this beautiful country. His deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history enriched their experience. Every site they visited came to life through his engaging storytelling. Nao showed my parents around Tokyo, Mt Fuji and Kamakura.. What truly stood out was his patience, kindness and attentiveness. He ensured my parents were enjoying the trip, looked after them when they become too tired from the walking, and made sure they felt comfortable. Nao even took my parents to the Tokyo station platform to make sure they caught the right bullet train to Osaka. My parents would highly recommend Nao to anyone planning a visit to Japan. His passion and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience sets him apart. He is the best tour guide you will find!

Dear Mireille san Thank you very much for your encouraging reviews on my tours. I enjoyed very much guiding your parents and brother in Tokyo, Kamakura and Mt Fuji. They are very nice people so I could enjoy tours together with them. I was very pleased to know your parents have great interest in Japanese history, culture, scenery and people. I could make good friends with them through traveling together. I do hope I can see you and your family members as well in the near future. Nao

“Tokyo Tour with Nao”
Such a nice tour dealing with a local, just with my friend and I. Nao met us at the Tokyo Statuon and helped us both get a Suica card and went off on our way to see many places in Tokyo using the train. Thanks again Nao we had a wonderful time see Tokyo for the first time.
