We were so lucky to meet Taici. His knowledge, kindness, helpfulness and energy made our 8 hr trip full of fun, education and great shopping. He took us to the places we enjoyed so much as if he has known us for years. We did not want our trip to end with him. We can’t wait to be back on a trip with Taici again.
Overall experience is great. Tour guide - Ms Kanako was patient and really trying her best to finish completing the venues on time. The time spent on Mount Fuji was really too short. My wife and I do not have enough time patronising all the shops and the photos were taken in a rush (at least 45to60min instead of just 25min). Should have taken out the ropeway since the cable cars are not so impressive. The pirate ships were nicely decorated and the views were amazing. Advice to future participants would be to take the bullet train back to your hotels. My wife and I got back to Tokyo in a breeze around 40min. Those opting to take bus back will need at least 2.5to3hrs since it’s the peak hours. The food at Mount Fuji restaurant was good as well. Do opt for the meals included.
Goed excursion, fantastic organized!
Guide Icko was super!!!!
Overall the trip was really nice. We had a very good view of Mount Fuji and the lady that guided us was very professional and very well prepared, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere all the time. Unfortunately we've done this trip at the beginning of raining season (beginning of June) so Hakone area and Lake Ashi was immersed in a very thick fog (luckily the weather around Mount Fuji was very good and we had a clear view of the mountain). But again check very carefully the weather before booking the trip! The success of this trip will be defined by the weather conditions! The lunch wasn't very rich but overall OK (hot pot with rice). You can pack some sweets to have it with you.
Excellent tour by an excellent guide (Tom Harada). Very knowledgeable, patient , flexible and was great with the kids. Tom also ensured we got to see the important sights and experience the key highlights and more importantly was always ensuring our welfare was the highest priority. Highly recommended

Excellent tour by an excellent guide (Taiji Endo). Very knowledgeable, flexible and was great with the kids. Taiji also ensured we got to see the important sights and experience the key highlights. Highly recommended
Both guides were amazing! I would recommend this tour to anyone, the price is not bad at all and it’s worth it! Specially when traveling with small children and dealing with jumping from train to train to see each sight. This tour was beyond helpful! Convenient and if you don’t plan to take the lunch option, he location where you get drop off has other lunch options available as well.
Beautiful Temples and wonderful gardens and scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of people!
The English translation device, which is available on the bus, only worked for the journey to the Kinkakuji Temple. After that there was no English explanation of where we we going or what we were seeing. Pity!
Yoshi-san is a very good tour guide and speaks english. We’re a bit unlucky to get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji from station 5. Yoshi-san allowed us to make a short stop at station 4 where we saw the tip of Mt. Fuji.
Got a better view or Mt. Fuji at the Gotemba area. Lunch is so-so although the Tempura is oishi! Cruise at Lake Ashi is breathtakingly beautiful (if you like scenic view). The cable car ride is a bit disppointing (we were diverted to a different cable car ride because the original ride from the itenerary had some technical issues). Again it was foggy from the top so there’s really nothing to see.
In general it was a 50-50 experience although it was nobody’s fault since you need to consider the weather condition before booking this tour!
Beautiful locations ...tour guide very knowledgeable and helpful. She gave lot of history and other information.
Both the driver and the guide were kind and it was very good. I would like to go again in a different season. However, I had a hard time searching for this tour. Since it is a very good tour, I think it would be better if it were easier to find.
運転手さんもガイドさんも 親切でとても良かったです。 又違う季節に行きたいと思います．ただ このツアーは 検索するのに苦労しました。 とてもいいツアーなので もっと検索し易くすれば良いのでは？
Dear Iroha,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour and for sharing your experience! I will definitely pass on your kind words to the staff on the day of the tour. I believe they will be delighted to hear it. Thank you once again.
From June 20 to October 31, we will be heading to Shirakawa-go via the "Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road," a scenic mountain road that runs through Hakusan National Park. The autumn foliage season starting in October is particularly stunning, so we hope you can come and see it. We look forward to welcoming you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the tour search. We will reconsider it with our staff and strive to improve our promotional activities.
Please come visit Hokuriku again!

The weather is no one's fault and staff did their best, but the dense fog made seeing anything impossible. We toured area around Mt. Fugi in the fog. The fifth viewing station was closed. We were warned in reservation materials that we might not see the mountain but we didn't expect to be fogged out of every other attraction ( boat ride, lift ) as well. We did see some interesting countryside and a few villages. We also saw a bit of Tokyo as we circled around to pick up other participants at their hotels. We took the bus back, not the train. Train people beat us back to our hotel by about 30 minutes.
Great way to see the city, good guide and was pleased to meet four young girls
dressed in kimonos and ninja man for photos. Highly recommend the trip.
Pick up was on time from the hotel
tour very well organised
tour guides very professional friendly and informative
lunch was very good
cruise was very good also
drop off back to the hotel was well done
I will have no hesitation in recommending this tour to my friends
April, our tour guide, was amazing. The trip was also amazing. Highly recommended.
It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and I had a great time! The townscape of Takayama was beautiful, and I felt it was a very good tour. I went with my mother, and since most of the travel was by bus, it was easy, and I think the food was very delicious.
白川郷初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです！高山の町並みも美しく、非常に良いツアーだと感じました。母と行きましたが、ほとんど移動はバスなので、楽でしたし、ご飯もとても
美味しかったとおもいます。
Dear Taeko,
Thank you for participating in our tour and for sharing your valuable experience. We are all delighted to hear that you enjoyed it.
This time, you joined the tour to Shirakawa-go and Takayama, but we also offer a tour to the World Heritage sites of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Additionally, from June 20 to October 31, we will be heading to Shirakawa-go via the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road scenic mountain road. The autumn foliage season is particularly recommended. There are also stops along the way where you can see the beautiful autumn leaves.
We hope you will join our tour during that season. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

The tour was well worth the money. Yoshi was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. All the places seen were very good (pity blossom had come early so did not see a grand display). Although the azaleas were very colourful.
The tower was very good and the views from the top excellent. Imperial Palace gardens and other gardens were colourful.
A wonderful excursion I would recommend.
Mr. Ichiro was calm throughout, which made me feel at ease while being together. The English explanations at each point were very helpful. Thanks to that, I had a great time.
一郎さんは、終始落ち着いた方で安心してご一緒できました。ポイント毎の英語の説明がとても助かりました。お蔭様で楽しく過ごせました。

The tour was well organized.
The tour guide was well informed and communicated all the details in a orderly basis.
We were given ample time to enjoy the sights.
Well done
It’s was very good experience for all of us who join the tour for the first time and we explore the nice view of Mt. fuji, hakone and lake ashi. We enjoy much during our tour because it was a good weather and the tour guide is very friendly and accommodating. She has a very good english and she keeps on checking us if we all complete during our stops to buy some souvenirs.. the food was great and delicious all japanese food. The money we pay is worth it! No regrets cause we all enjoyed during our tour!! Till next time!
The tour was very informative and there were lots of stops included (a lot more than other tours) - we didn't feel rushed at any stop and I loved the option of having a bullet train as a return home option. Our tour guide was Yoshi San - he was so wonderful and had heaps of stories to share about where we were going and Japan on general! He also made us laugh and entertained us along the way....one of the best tour guides we have had! Will definitely be back! Thank you Yoshi San
I found a tour while planning my solo trip to Kanazawa, and although I had some concerns, I was able to fully enjoy it thanks to a fluent interpreter and a friendly driver.
There are several paid Gassho-zukuri houses that you can visit, and the staff even took photos for us and offered us tea.
Personally, I recommend the shrine located in Gokayama. There is a magnificent tree with a thick trunk there.
金沢ひとり旅を計画中に見つけたツアーで、ちょっと不安もありましたが、日本語堪能な通訳の方と気さくな運転手さんのおかげで満喫できました
有料ですが見学できる合掌作りのお宅が数件あり、店員さんも写真撮影してくれお茶もいただきました
個人的に五箇山にある神社をおすすめします
乳根のある立派な木があります
Dear Anju,
Thank you for participating in our tour. Many of our customers join us alone. I also travel solo sometimes, and I understand it can be quite nerve-wracking. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask anything in the message section. I will do my best to address your worries.
On the day of the tour, don't hesitate to ask our staff any questions you may have.
I feel warm seeing a glimpse of your journey through your experience. It seems you had wonderful encounters with both people and places. Thank you for sharing the photo of the shrine.
We hope you will join our tour again when you visit Hokuriku.

Me and my wife took this trip. It was well organised . Our tour guide spoke English and was funny. Although all the activities listed were covered there was hardly any time to relax and enjoy the moment. Except the boat cruise. The journey itself takes most of the time
So can’t complain much. The lunch was Japanese cusine it was a nice experience.
By far this has been the most efficient,fulfilling and enriching tour I've taken so far.The guide Hashimoto has been simply superb in our trip with his English,humour and knowledge.Luch experience was superb as it was authentic japanese and traditional.Places were not rushed and one had enough time to soak in the experience.We were lucky to see Mt Fuji totally clear and visible and sky godolas and pirate ship experience was awesome too.Value for money I must say!Thankyou for this tour even though I was a solo traveller ,it was most comfortable and exciting
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.
Dear Evelyn,
It was very nice to have you and your friends in Japan the other day. We are glad to know you enjoyed both contemporary and traditional Japan during the tour. We do hope you visit Japan again not too distant future and allow us to have another opportunity to take you to other fantastic places in this beautiful country. Once again, we appreciate your choosing our company and encouraging evaluation to us.
Great tour , very patient tour leader, courteous driver. Surely give us memorable moment at Japan. Outstanding tour
This was a very long day out.
The mountain was covered in cloud. We were greeted with snow, at the 5th step.
Lots of driving.
Lunch was fair.
It was dull and wet at the lake, which spoiled the experience.
The ride on the rope car was high and fun.
Waiting for others was a pain. We didn't arrive back at our hotel until very late.
A good experience, which looked better on TV.
We saw better views in Shimitzu on another tour, from our cruise ship..
Mr. Tom, our personal guide took us to the Kawakuchiko lake to see Mt. Fuji and we were very lucky that it was a bright and sunny day that we can see the Mt. Fuji clearly. Our guide let us move onto the next sightseeing spots at our own pace so it is very enjoyable for the whole family!
Our family had the disadvantage of traveling in from Tokyo Bay, so our travel either side of this tour was already extended, and that could not be helped by the tour company. However our pick-up was late from the hotel that we had arrived at just before the scheduled pick-up time that had required us to wake our sleeping children which was rather frustrating. It was also raining and cold. We waited for the bus and then travelled about 10 minutes to waste more time transferring to another bus.
The tour company cannot be held accountable for the weather, but the gondolas were not running, the highest viewpoint we could access was No. 2 and for most of the day Mount Fuji was not visible. Our tour guide was lovely and informative and provided lots of information about points of interest other than those listed on the itinerary. The tour company chose a shrine to visit instead of riding the gondolas which was enjoyable.
The lunch was average, the hot pot was nice but the tempura was stone cold when we arrived.
The stopping points felt rushed and most of the day was spent on the bus. We opted for the bus ride home seeing as we were a family of 5 and our rail passes had expired the previous day. Once passengers transferring to the bullet train had been escorted to the station, our bus waited (or wasted) a considerable amount of time waiting for another bus to join us before beginning the long trip home.
Considering we were the last drop off and had to commute back to our hotel after drop off at the designated hotel, all of the delays and waiting around to transfer and join with other tour groups made the day feel wasted. We definitely regret choosing this activity for our last day in Japan.
