Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

The bus driver, tour guide, and interpreter were all very pleasant, making for an enjoyable trip. The free time for exploration was just right, and the hand-made rice cracker experience was fun as well. If there's another opportunity, I would love to do it again.

Excellent tour. Youshi - san was a great tour leader, informative and amusing and spoke excellent English. We were very fortunate to have a clear day to see Mount Fuji and the views were brilliant all day. The lunch was also very good. We enjoyed the sky gondola, the black eggs and the cruise over lake Ashi. Every thing was very punctual and at no point did we feel rushed.We took the option of the bullet train back and Youshi helped us with navigating the station. In all a lovely tour which we thoroughly recommend.

We had a long bus ride to Mt Fuji but were disappointed the clouds came in and covered the mountain. We could only get to Level 2 as there was too much congestion and traffic higher up at Level 4. Our lunch was a wonderful selection of local dishes and the cruise on the Pirate Ship on Lake Ashi was crowded and chilly but fun to be part of.

The trip was with my Adult daughter From start to finish our driver and the experience was delightful - getting picked up in the Toyota Century was simply classic old school and made us feel Presidential. Our driver had the right blend of very respectful Japanese manners coupled with a delightful and cheeky sarcasm ( which suited us because it was how we are ).
He walked with us through each of the venues to make sure the experience was far more in depth than simply driving us to each site. The genuineness of the experience was very special and I will definitely be bringing my wife to Kyoto so I can take her on the same journey.
It's absolutely worth it on so many levels.

The trip was generally good and was saved from an OK rating by actually seeing Mt Fuji from the bus and the first stop. After that we drove to the other side of the mountain where it was covered by cloud and we didn't see it again all day. (Cloudy weather can't be helped but guide said "we are driving to the other side as it is less crowded".) Everything ran on time but better explanation of how to manage Japanese lunch (our first such experience) would have been appreciated. Cruise on Lake Ashi was picturesque but boat was very crowded with standing room only for some guests.

It was cold on the day of the tour, and there was a bit of wind, but the content of the tour was outstanding! Of course, I got to see the places I wanted, but the guide's explanations were surprisingly interesting and well done, which made the atmosphere on the bus lively. There were also useful trivia points throughout, making the bus drive feel like it went by in no time.
当日は寒くて少し風もありましたが、ツアーの内容は満点以上でした(^^)

We had a free day in Tokyo so decided to book this tour on line before we arrived as was highly recommended by a friend! We weren’t disappointed! Didn’t do a pickup from the hotel we were staying at so we had to jump on the subway to get to the pickup, was easy! Then we were transported to yet another hotel by taxi! Our tour guide Yoshi was brilliant! He covered so much in the full day tour, loved every minute of it! We booked the tour which included the Japanese lunch which was a delicious! Saw all the highlights of Tokyo, even included a boat ride down the river! At the end of the tour the bus dropped us off at the subway as we decided to go to Shibuya before returning to our hotel! Don’t miss this tour!

This is a good tour to see the highlights of Kyoto. The driver and tour guide Jun is extremely competent. My only complaint is that the tour feels rushed at each sites. However due to the number of tourists at each locations and in order to cover all the highlights, it is unavoidable to feel rushed.

We did get to see Mt Fuji which was why we went on this tour. Because of this, I rated it fair rather than poor... The boat and sky tram filled in time out of the bus... neither was interesting or exciting. Our tour guide was very bland...he certainly did not make this an enjoyable day. For a couple to go on this excursion at a cost of $250 to 300USD... spend your money elsewhere.

Completely recommend this tour and is well worth it. The scenery and guide are both terrific and it was an awesome day and experience overall. I must say that it is best to do your research regarding the train option before finalising your booking to ensure that you get the best deal. The tour operator offers a discounted ticket for the bullet train if it is bought through them as opposed to buying the ticket at the station.

My family and I visited Kyoto on April 12th, and could not be any happier with our tour. A big thanks to our friendly driver and tour guide Ichiro who made the extra effort to give us some history of the sights we visited throughout the day. Ichiro made sure we were able to visit what we had planned for the day, and he didn’t worry about the time too much when I was worried myself that our 8hour time was nearly over!
Kyoto is a beautiful place, I would go back time and time again to explore and use this service.

The guide was very informative. However couldn't go to fifth station of Mt. Ashi as promised in the tour plan. Instead went to the second station due to whether conditions. It would have be better if this clause was mentioned. One among the very less tours that cover both mount Ashi and Hakone in one day. Covers all the important look out points.

Honestly, I expected something completely different. The way was very long, the tour guide was not that excited about the information he presented and most of the facts I knew from the internet tourist sites beforehand. We clearly expected more insight into the history of the place: beautiful legends and folk tales or anecdotes from a local guide.
5-station was closed that day. As for sky gondola and the boat cruise, well, probably on a sunny day, but not on a windy April day. The sky was grey and it was freezing. Smoking valley was just a viewing spot to take a photo and taste a black ice-cream. Sorry to say, but I wouldn’t recommend this trip. I would go for another tour provider.

This was our second 2-day tour with Taiji in 3 years, and everyone had so much fun! Not only is Taiji super detailed oriented in planning a wonderful itinerary for our group, and equally efficient in executing even the most complicated and busiest schedules, it is all accomplished without making the tour group feel rushed at all. At the end, we were able to enjoy a fantastic customized experience that catered to the varied preferences that ranged from a 15-year old teenage girl up to grandparents in their 70's and 80's!
Best of all, Taiji not only provides a great tour service, but does so by enhancing the experience through his fun personality. Not only is his English excellent, but it is very difficult to find someone who is as humorous as Taiji who can not only understand but participate in sarcastic humor! Thank you so much again for the truly memorable and fun times, Taiji!
Dear Derek
It was such a pleasure to see you again here in Japan.
Yes 3 years was very fast since the first time you booked my tour when I just started this business but din't feel that much time have past when I saw you first at the hotel.
I was very pleased to hear from Veltra that you were requesting me again and myself enjoyed very much the fun time with you as well with your humors too and I remember just like we have been laughing all the way and also to visit new places from your request.

Booked this tour a couple of months ago, when the weather forecast said it will be sunny. Unfortunately, the day of the tour itself, there was rain and snow, obviously Fuji-san would be a no-show. However, Taiji made the tour as comfortable for the group as possible, offering alternative activities for the day, since the situation is beyond anyone's control. Have to admit, Fuji-san was just the really optional part of the tour, and the priority was Gotemba Outlets. So we spent more the most part of the day there, taking our sweet time shopping and enjoying what the day has to offer. Taiji is very friendly, on time, drives safely, adaptable to our requests who would go above and beyond. Over all, I would have to say we were in very good hands, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better, would book a tour with them again in the near future.
Dear Jeremy
As said, we had a very difficult day with the weather but nevertheless thank you so much for leaving such kind comment. I work and do all the best especially on a cloudy day knowing that the priority of Fuji tour is to see and get good shots of the mountain.
Please let me know if you plan to come to Japan again. We are not just only doing Fuji tour but we can customize any location according to what you expect.
Looking forward to seeing you again.

I had a great experience before, so I participated with my brother's family as well. The freshness of being able to view various buildings and landscapes from the high position of the bus is truly wonderful. Since it was a nice spring season, we were able to see the cherry blossoms, which made it even more enjoyable. The guide's performance really enhances the tour. Everyone, both children and adults, gets very excited when passing under the bridge. I think it would be great if there were a tour that also includes Tokyo Tower and other places for about an additional 30 minutes.
