Private Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise & Optional Private Onsen

Best experience in Japan

Reviewed by: Mieri & Alethea

We (2 adults) visited Tokyo during the Sakura season and were fortunate to have Tom Harada as our personal guide for a whole day. The driver was a colleague of his who normally does Chinese guided tours so we had two very nice professionals on board.
On our way to Mount Fuji Tom asked us thoroughly about our interests and what we would prefer to see. So he made an individual plan for us and it was great.
The weather was perfect and we had a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji.
Tom knows literally EVERYTHING and he is also very entertaining.
He is not only the perfect guide who can read his clients very well and adapt to that but he is also a great photographer. This has probably something to do with his former job. He took beautiful pictures of us always telling us where to stand so the light and the view would be better.
He took us to a great restaurant for lunch.
We could tell that he is very passionate about what he does and that genuineness is great to see and that is exactly what makes this tour so special.

We strongly recommend this tour for everybody visiting Mt. Fuji.
It was one of the best experiences we had in Japan.
And make sure you ask for Tom.

Private Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise & Optional Private Onsen

Perfect team of guides

Reviewed by: Brian Shelton

Our custom family private day trip with Mr. Tom Harada and his associates was exactly what we wanted. His English was perfect, he was extremely patient, courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about both the history of the areas we visited as well as their current attractions and features. He was waiting for us in our hotel when we arrived in the lobby, and was always managing our time throughout the day so we were able to see everything we wanted. He customized the tour to our preferences and specifications, and also recommended other areas that were convenient and very enjoyable. The transportation was very clean and comfortable, and the driver was very safe. He even assisted us with our bags and booking tickets on the shinkansen at the conclusion of the tour, ensuring we were safely on our way to our next destination. He also offered us his phone number if we had any problems the rest of our trip in Japan he could help with.

This tour is highly recommended, and I would encourage you to trust Mr. Harada with your tour, as he knows all the secrets, hidden gems, and in's-and-out's to ensure your valuable time is spent wisely.

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

It was too exhausting. Taiko Rock was better than I expected. しんどすぎた。太鼓岩が思ったよりよかった

Reviewed by: coco

I thought waking up at 4 AM for two days during a 2-night, 3-day trip would be too much, so I searched for a tour that could be done in one day and joined it. I wasn't even that familiar with "Princess Mononoke," yet I thought about going to Shiratani Unsuikyo, which turned out to be a fateful decision. "Trekking" sounded easy, but it was a proper mountain climb.

It was much more of a climb than I imagined, the path to Taiko Rock suddenly became steep, the trolley path was way too long, and it was far from the point where the trolley path joined to the Arakawa trailhead. I could feel lactic acid building up in my arms along the way, and it was really tough.

I usually don't exercise at all, and I only have the stamina and willpower to push through wanting to run a full marathon or climb Mount Fuji once a year, but this time felt the hardest.

I went to see Jomon Sugi, but Taiko Rock was unexpectedly impressive, and I felt just as moved. It was really tough, but the guide said, "If you split it up, it will be hard for two days, so it's better to do it in one day. Ideally, staying overnight and taking it slow is best," so if you're not going to stay overnight, it's better to do it all in one day.

It's tougher than I imagined (I can't say it enough), but it's manageable with willpower. The guide's perfect timing for encouragement and breaks really helped. It was impressive how friendly all the guides in Yakushima were; they were chatting with each other when passing by. On this course, you pass people who have already reached Jomon Sugi and are on their way back, so when it was tough, hearing "Keep going! You're almost there!" was surprisingly motivating.

I highly recommend you go. On the way back, since it was in the direction of the guide's home, I was grateful they dropped me off at a hotel that was outside their usual range.

2泊3日で二日4時起きはかんべん、と思って1日でまとめていけるツアーを探して参加。もののけ姫も対してみてないのに白谷雲水峡もいくかと思ったのが運のつき。「トレッキング」なんて甘い、ちゃんとした登山だった。笑
想像以上に登山だし、
太鼓岩までの道が途中から急に険しいし、
トロッコ道が長すぎるし笑、
太鼓岩から合流したトロッコ道の地点から荒川登山口までも遠いし笑、
途中で腕に乳酸が溜まってるのがわかって本当につらかった。笑

普段全く運動してなくて、
1年に1度、フルマラソン走りたい、富士山登りたい・・を根性で乗り切ってきた程度の体力と気力の持ち主だが、今回が一番辛く感じた。。

縄文杉を見たくて行ったが、太鼓岩が想像以上によく、同じくらいの感動があった。
本当につらいが、ガイドさんも「分けていったら2日間辛いんだから、1日で行った方がいい。本当は泊まってゆっくり行くのがベスト」と言っていたので、泊まらないくらいなら1日でまとめたほうがいい。

想像以上にきつい（なんどもいう）笑が、気力で乗り切れるレベル。
ガイドさんの絶妙な声かけ、休憩のタイミングと人柄に救われた。
屋久島はみんなガイドさんが仲よいらしく、すれ違う時も会話していたのが印象的だった。このコースだと、縄文杉につくタイミングで、縄文杉にすでに到着して帰ってくる人とすれ違うので、辛い時に「頑張って！もう少しだから！」と言ってもらえたのが想像以上に力になった（笑）。

ぜひ、行ってみてください。
帰り、ガイドさんの家の方面ということもあり、範囲外のホテルまで送ってくれたのもありがたかったです。

白谷雲水峡半日（苔むす森まで）トレッキングツアー＜宮之浦～安房エリア送迎可能＞ by 屋久島の輪

I was moved by the beautiful forest. 綺麗な森に感動です

Reviewed by: りゃん

I was worried to hear that it was closed due to heavy rain on the day the rainy season started, but the next day I was truly healed by the beautiful moss and forest after the rain cleared up. There was also light rain!

I apologize and thank you for accommodating my various requests regarding the shuttle service. Your flexible response was very helpful.

One thing I thought of is that even if you contact the tour company with details in advance, it doesn't necessarily mean that the guide on the day is aware of that information (or has received the message), so it's better to communicate it again. Of course, they say to inform the guide, but that doesn't alleviate our concerns until the day before, which made me think, "Hmm."

梅雨入りの日は大雨のため閉鎖だったと聞いて心配していましたが、翌日は雨上がりの綺麗な苔と森が見られて本当に癒されました。小雨も降りましたしね！

送迎については色々とワガママを聞いてくださりすみません&ありがとうございました。
柔軟に対応いただき助かりました。

ひとつ思ったのは、事前にツアー会社に細かいことを連絡していても、当日のガイドさんがその内容を把握している(連絡を受けている)とは限らないので、改めて伝えたほうがよいです。もちろん、ガイドに伝えてくださいとは言われますが、それだと前日までこちらの心配事が解消されないので、うーん、と思ってしまいました。

Disappointed with the guide. ガイドにがっかり。

Reviewed by: チャンリー

The guide's voice was just too quiet. It wasn't just because of the heavy rain (and thunderstorm on the way down). It felt like there was no intention to make sure all participants (seven of us, including me) could hear. Even when he was explaining things, I couldn't catch what he was saying at all. While walking, he mentioned not to step on logs or roots because they could be slippery, and since I was second from the front, I could barely hear him, but I’m sure the people in the back couldn’t hear at all. I really wonder what he would do if someone slipped and fell... This is a matter of life and death, so shouldn’t he at least raise his voice to warn everyone about that?

Also, there was no information like how many minutes until the break or that we were almost at Jomon Sugi. It was just endless walking. Everyone was tired; couldn’t he say at least a few encouraging words? My friend, who was struggling with knee pain, finally made it to Jomon Sugi. While other guides were saying, “You did great! Good job!” and high-fiving, our guide was just saying, “Hurry up and line up for a photo!!”

After we safely descended, I heard another guide telling everyone to stretch, and I thought, “You should have said that too!” He really didn’t do his job well.

Ah, it was truly a boring tour. I won’t hire a guide next time. I figured out the walking pace, and this time it felt almost the same whether he was there or not (laughs). What was the guide's name again? Something like Ura... and his first name was Gonta?

I think you shouldn’t expect a fun tour.

とにかくガイドの声が小さい。豪雨(下山は雷雨)の中だからとかの問題ではない。参加者全員（私含め7人）に聞かせる気がまるでない。説明してくれてても何言ってるんだかさっぱり聞き取れなかった。歩いてる時も丸太の上とか根っこにはすべるから乗らないでって私は前から2番目だったから辛うじて聞こえたけど後ろの人は絶対聞こえてないと思う。滑って転げ落ちたらまじでどうする気なんだろう・・・。命にかかわることなんだからそういう部分だけでもしっかり大きな声でみんなに注意を促すべきなんじゃない！？
あと何分で休憩ですとか。あともうちょっとで縄文杉ですよとか何もない。ただひたすら歩くのみ。みんな疲れてるんだから励ましの言葉くらいかけられないのかな？友達は膝が痛い中一生懸命歩いてようやく縄文杉に到着。他のガイドは「よく頑張ったね。お疲れ様ー」って言いながらハイタッチしてるのにうちのガイドときたら、「写真撮るから早く並んで！！」って・・・。
無事下山して他のガイドがストレッチしてくださいねーって言ってるのを聞いてストレッチしたけど、お前も言えよ！って思った。まじで仕事しないおっさんだったな。
あぁ、本当につまらないツアーだった。また行くときはガイド付けないわ。歩くスピードどんなもんか分かったし。今回もほぼいてもいなくても同じだったから（笑）
ガイドの名前何だっけ？浦なんとかっていうおっさん。下の名前はゴンタ？
楽しいツアーは期待しない方がいいと思います。

I was taken care of by Mr. Taniyama from Kodama. Since he is from Yakushima, he was able to teach me a lot. We had a trekking group of four pairs and nine guides. The pacing was impressive. I struggled a bit in the Hell's 1-3 blocks, but I managed to reach Jomon Sugi. It started raining around the foot of the mountain, but after that, it was quite hot. Right after we set off, the sole of my shoe came off, and I received some emergency repairs. I was worried since I hadn't used them in a while, and although I tried them on flat ground, it seems they weren't very helpful.

I hadn't done any intense exercise for a while, so I was honestly a bit anxious, but somehow I managed to go and come back!
I couldn't imagine what it would be like and had some worries, but the guide was very kind, and everyone I was with, as well as the people I passed in the mountains, were all really nice, which made for wonderful memories!
In the great outdoors, I felt a surge of gratitude for everything that is usually taken for granted. The scenery, the air, the greenery, the water, and even the lunch were all so much more beautiful than usual. I was constantly moved by the encouragement I received from people I passed during tough moments!
I did get hit by muscle soreness, but even that became a good memory. Haha!
I definitely want to visit Yakushima again, and next time I want to experience activities by the river and the sea!

Reviewed by: giraffehakirin

I went to Jomon Sugi. It was the peak of the Golden Week holiday, but thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we had an early pickup at 4 AM. As a result, we were the first at the trailhead and could start our ascent smoothly.

The 10-hour trek was tough, but with regular breaks and the reassurance from our guide, we were able to safely visit Jomon Sugi and return.

Fortunately, we had a sunny day, but it seems like it often rains, so rain gear is essential. Also, snacks are a must!!! It seems that moving around burns a lot of energy, and I ended up eating more snacks than I expected.

While it's possible to go without a guide, I think it's safer for those who are not used to hiking to go with one.

縄文杉までいきました。ゴールデンウイークの超繁忙期でしたが、ガイドさんの機転で、予定より速い４時ピックアップ。お陰で登山口一番乗りで、スムーズに登り始められました。
計10時間のトレッキングはきつかったですが、適度に休憩をいれてくれたのと、ガイドさんの安心感とで、無事に縄文杉を拝んで返ってくることができました。
幸い私たちは晴れた日でしたが、雨の日もおおいみたいなので、レインウエア必須です。あとおやつも必携！！！動いてるとエネルギー消費が激しいのか、予想よりたくさんおやつ食べました。
ガイドさんなしでいくこともできますが、登山になれていないかたは、ガイドさんと一緒の方が安心だと思います。

It was the best course that was rewarding. やりがいのある最高のコースでした

Reviewed by: かなも

In the morning, I visited Shiratani Unsuikyo, and in the afternoon, I went to Wilson Stump and Jomon Sugi. It was an ambitious course, so I was initially anxious, but the local veteran guide was very kind. The timing was precise, and we arrived almost exactly at the times he communicated. He considered our pacing, so even someone like me, who isn't used to hiking, was able to finish while staying hydrated and nourished. He clearly communicated what not to do, which helped me understand the importance of the rules of the mountains, making it a valuable learning experience. I recommend it for those who are confident in their physical fitness. I don't have a habit of walking, but I usually practice yoga and do moderate aerobic exercise about twice a month. Just for reference.

午前中に白谷雲水峡、午後はウィルソン株、縄文杉のコースでした。欲張りコースなので、始めは不安でしたが、地元のベテランガイドさんがとても親切でした。時間配分が正確で伝えてくれた時間にはほぼ正確に到着していました。ペース配分を考えてくれているので、山慣れしていない私でも水分栄養補給しながら終えることができました。してはいけないことなどもはっきり伝えてくださるので、山のルールの大切さがわかりよい学びにもなりました。体力に自信のある方はお勧めです。私はウォーキングの習慣はありませんが、普段は日常的にヨガ、中度レベルの有酸素運動を月2回ほど行っています。参考までに。

There are issues with the collaboration between the tour company, rental company, and guides. ツアー会社・レンタル会社・ガイドの連携面に問題

Reviewed by: 都内在住

The Shiratani Unsuikyo itself is wonderful, and I was moved by the nature of Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage site. However, my honest opinion is that it would have suited our family better to go on our own rather than relying on this tour company.

Initially, I was unaware that the tour company, rental company, and guide were separate organizations. From my perspective, I assumed that all the information I provided through Veltra was being coordinated.

However, when I contacted the guide the day before, I found out that our return flight time had not been communicated, and we had to hastily move up the meeting time.

We also rented some gear, but since that was with a different company, I managed to contact them directly the day before to ensure it arrived on time. However, the rental items were delivered after 8:00 PM the night before, and the rental company instructed us to return them to the guide, but the guide said they could not accept them.

Regarding the guide, since they operate independently, I believe there are individual differences, but the person assigned to our family had low hospitality and looked down on us as beginners in hiking. The explanations were minimal, and despite having a child in elementary school, they proceeded at their own pace without taking sufficient breaks, resulting in a significantly shortened return trip. (Due to the weather and the child's walking speed, we could not reach Taiko Rock.)

So, my straightforward opinion is that it would have been better to explore at our own pace.

白谷雲水峡自体は素晴らしく、世界遺産屋久島の自然に感動しました。
但し、こちらのツアー会社に頼むことはなく、自力で行くほうが私たちの家族には合っていたというのが正直な感想です。

当初は、ツアー会社・レンタル会社・ガイドさんがそれぞれ別の組織であることを知りませんでした。こちらからすればVeltra経由でお伝えした情報は全て連携されているという前提で考えていました。

ところが、実際前日になり、ガイドさんと連絡をとったところ、こちらの帰りの飛行機の時間が伝わっておらず、集合時間を急遽早めることになりました。

またグッズのレンタルをしたのですが、こちらも別会社ということで、前日にこちらから連絡を直接とってなんとか間に合いましたが、前日の20:00過ぎにレンタル品が届くという形でしたし、レンタル会社にはガイドさんに返却するように言われたのですが、ガイドさんからは受け取れないという返事でした。

ガイドさんに関しても、基本的には個人でやられているということで、これは個人差があるのだと思いますが、私たち家族の担当の方はホスピタリティが低く、登山初心者の私たちをどこか見下した態度でした。解説は最低限で、小学校低学年の子供がいるにもかかわらず、自分のペースでどんどん進んでしまい、休憩も十分に取らないまま、予定を大幅に短縮しての帰還になりました。（天候と子供の歩くスピードの関係で太鼓岩に行けませんでした。）

ということで、それであれば自分たちのペースでゆっくり回れば良かったというのが率直な感想です。

50代の母と参加しました。グループのスピードから遅れ始めた母を気遣いながら臨機応変に対応してゴールまで導いてくださったガイドさんに大感謝です。トレッキングの見所スポットや草花についても詳しく解説していただき、ただ歩くだけではない素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。本当にありがとうございました。

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

An unforgettable day! 忘れられない1日！

Reviewed by: まき＊ちひ

I'm a beginner in mountain climbing and participated with a friend. It was a tight three-day travel schedule, but since we were going, I wanted to see both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, so I signed up for this ambitious course!

First of all... I think some preparation is definitely necessary. Before the trip, I climbed a few mountains in the Tokyo area to check my climbing skills. Since it's a 12-hour walking course, it's better to buy shoes that fit your feet rather than renting them. No matter how fit you are, if you get blisters, you won't be able to walk.

If you take care of your health and prepare well, the guides, who are fun and full of service spirit, will surely provide a wonderful tour! Although we couldn't see the mountain views from Taiko Rock because it was covered in white clouds, we still had a great time. Even the long and challenging paths were enjoyable thanks to the guides' stories and games.

Even if it's not a one-day tour, I definitely recommend using this tour company! I'm sure you'll create wonderful memories. The next day I had muscle soreness, but it became a very good memory. Thank you, Tsugimura-san. I have come to love the mountains even more!

登山初心者です。友人と一緒に参加しました。
弾丸3日間の旅行日程でしたが、せっかく行くなら縄文杉&白谷雲水峡のどっちも見たい‼︎と思い、この欲張りコースに申込みさせて頂きました☆

まず始めに…。
やっぱり多少の事前準備は必要だと思います。私は出発までに東京近郊の山で何回か登山をして自分の登山スキルを確認しました。あと12時間も歩くコースなので、シューズはレンタルより自分の足に合うものを買うべきです。どんなに体力があっても靴擦れしたら歩けなくなってしまいます。
あとは体調を整えて挑めば、楽しくてサービス精神に溢れたガイドさんが、きっと素敵なツアーを催行してくれます！
太鼓岩は真っ白な雲に覆われて山々の景色を見れませんでしたが、そんな時でも楽しませて頂きました。長くて大変な道もガイドさんの話やゲームで楽しく歩けました。
1日ツアーでなくても、ぜひこちらのツアー会社を使ってみて下さい！きっと素敵な想い出ができると思います。
翌日は筋肉痛でしたが、とても良い想い出になりました。
津曲さん、ありがとうございました。
山がもっと好きになりました！

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour from Yokohama Port with Customizable Itinerary

Review on Private Shore Excursion to Tokyo from Yokohama Port

Reviewed by: Evelyn B

This is the second evaluation sent to me by your company. As written on the first evaluation, the tour went off explicitly well. When our tour guide Ken Takahashi introduced himself to the group @ Yokohama Port, he has this pleasing smile with an excellent diction in English. We have had a quality tour and he explained to us important and interesting highlights of the different era on the Japanese history.
On behalf of the group, we would like to extend our appreciation to Ken Takahashi, tour guide and driver Mr.Higashi san for making our day in Tokyo a memorable one.

白谷雲水峡（太鼓岩まで）トレッキングツアー 5:00または8:00スタートの2つの開始時間から選択可能 by 屋久島の輪

I received kind assistance. 親切に対応していただきました。

Reviewed by: サンフランシスコのあこ

Since I participated from America, it was difficult to make phone calls the day before, but the guide was kind and helpful. I contacted them in advance, and they informed me about the pick-up time at my accommodation. The guide also came directly to the lodging, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind on the day. Thank you very much.
The hike at Taiko Rock was wonderful with clear weather.

アメリカから参加したため、前日の電話連絡等がとりにくく難儀しましたが、ガイドさんが親切で助かりました。　とりあえず事前にこちらから連絡しましたところ宿泊先に迎えの時間について連絡をいただき、またガイドさんも直接宿泊施設に来ていただいたりしたので、当日は安心してツアーに参加することができました。　どうもありがとうございました。
太鼓岩も快晴で素晴らしいハイクとなりました。
