Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride
Nice tour
Activity Date: 2017/04/14 | Posted on: 2017/04/22

We were very lucky because we actually got to see the mountain. Best viewing is in the winter because there is no fog. We had a stroke of luck (in April) and got to see the mountain from the bus. By lunch time the entire mountain was obscured by fog. This is normal, be prepared not to see it. We got to the 4th station (5th was closed due to dangerous weather). The only opportunity to see it is from the bus. The lunch was lovely and tasty and a good sized portion. If people on your tour are late you might miss out on some things because everything is timed to the minute. Be on time. Lake Ashi was pretty. The cable car ride was neat too. You're supposed to have a great view at the peak but as I said the fog obscured everything. It was still cool to go up, there's shrine at the peak and the view if nearby nature and the lake is great. You couldn't see Fuji. Our guide was incredible and offered a lot of information about the Japanese culture, the people and customs. It was a nice tour. We would have had a hard time seeing what we did in our own. It's not very accessible without a rental car.

That was correct!
正解でした!
Activity Date: 2017/04/16 | Posted on: 2017/04/19

After much deliberation on whether to rent a car or book a pass individually, I decided to join an optional tour based on the recommendation of a friend who lives locally. This was a great decision. I was able to enjoy sightseeing at a relaxed pace without worrying about parking or the bus schedule for the return trip. The guide spoke both Japanese and English, and it seemed like the foreign guests were having a great time as well. This is a tour I can recommend to both foreigners and Japanese people.

レンタカーで行くか、個人でパスを予約して行くかを散々迷い、地元に住んでいた友人のすすめでオプショナルツアーに参加することに。
これが大正解。パーキングや帰りのバスの時間などを気にせずにゆったりとしたスケジュールで観光できました。ガイドさんは日本語と英語とどちらも話せて、外国人の方々も楽しんでいるようでした。
外国人にも日本人にもおすすめできるツアーです。

Dear kittychan,

Thank you for participating in our tour and for sharing your valuable experience.

We're thrilled to hear that the bus tour was a great choice! While renting a car or using a regular sightseeing bus allows for flexibility, it can be challenging for those who are short on time, as you might get lost looking for parking or dining options. Even when you find something you want to eat, you may have to wait, which can lead to a significant loss of time.

In contrast, our tour includes meals, allowing you to explore at a leisurely pace without worrying about time constraints.

I understand you have friends in the area, and we would love for you to join our tour again when you visit us next time.

kittychanさん
この度は弊社ツアーにご参加および貴重な体験談ありがとうございました。

バスツアー大正解!とっても嬉しいお言葉です!!
レンタカー、定期観光バスは自分のペースで色々回れるので時間に余裕のある方は良いですが、
そうでない方には駐車場で迷ったり、食事場所で迷ったり・・・
折角食べたいものを見つけても待たなければいけなかったりで結構時間のロスがあったりします。
その点弊社のツアーはお食事もついておりますので、そういう時間を気にせず
ゆっくりご散策いただけるのではと思っております。

地元にご友人の方がいらっしゃるとのことですが、またこちらにお越しの際は
是非弊社ツアーをご利用いただければと思います。

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide
Best day of our entire trip!
Activity Date: 2017/04/05 | Posted on: 2017/04/07

Our customized tour with Fuji-san was amazing, as we had only one full day in Kyoto I was worried we wouldn't get to see everything. Not only did we do everything we had on our list, but he took special interest in showing us things for our young children (ages 3 and almost 6) that we hadn't considered doing, such as the Toei Movie studios lot. My son LOVES Power Rangers, it was the highlight of his trip, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the female heroine of the samurai show. He suggested a better order of doing things, so that we could see certain sights before they became too crowded. When we admired the view of Kyoto from the mountainside, he took us to a nearby temple with panoramic views of the city. He knew great spots for taking the best photos, and where to eat. He was kind and patient with our rambunctious children, and explained the history and meaning behind EVERYTHING, from the statues to the temple bells. In addition, the van we rented was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. I would definitely book with VELTRA again, and would give Fuji-san the highest rating possible for his knowledge, patience, sweet demeanor and excellent English. Thank you Fuji-san for an unforgettable day!

Finding mount Fuji roadtrip in snowy weather
Activity Date: 2017/04/01 | Posted on: 2017/04/05

We did not find Fuji but instead Taiji our guide who has helped to turn bad weather into an interesting trip. We visited the Kimono museum, traditional Japanese noodles house with fresh organic ingredient from the farm (and Horse Sushi I know!) and end the trip with shopping spree in Gotemba before being dropped off at the hotel. Special thanks for extra Japanese vocab and help with contact in Kyoto.

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide
Downright Fantastic - convenience and quality in a nutshell
Activity Date: 2017/03/25 | Posted on: 2017/04/03

Our group consisted four adults including two 6'3 250 lb guys. Our driver, Fuji, was an absolute pleasure; well spoken, well prepared, insightful and courteous. We were picked up in a Toyota Century - a $100,000 luxury sedan. As a car enthusiast this was a delight as it's something we don't get stateside and the only V12 made by Toyota (outside of Formula 1!). We were very comfortable in the car. I had written up a plan of sites to see, Fuji commented on each location and we pared it down to 6 chosen locations.

What we saw in our 6 hour tour was easily 2 days worth of content. We started the day at Kennin-ji to see the dragon and walk the grounds, then headed towards Arashiyama via Uzumasa (Fuji recommended). In Arashiyama we saw the Tenryu-ji temple then walked along the Bamboo Forest road, we split for the monkeys and an owl cafe. Then took in the Katsura River and the general beautiful scenery with some shopping and headed for Kinkaku-Ji by way of Ninna-ji. Then we went to Fuji's secret overview spot with a glass tea house. From there we walked the 1001 Buddha statues in Sanjusangendo where Fuji gave history lessons on the deities, the religious text/background and archery competition famous to the area. Finally we were dropped off in Gion to walk Shirakawa-Minami Dori and observe the geisha and folks in costume with the beautiful scenery.

Fuji's insightful comments to each site were well appreciated, his VIP treatment with drop off/pick up was a boon for our more handicap party members and the ability to adjust the tour (bathroom, food, etc.) was well worth the extra expense over a comparable tour bus. His suggested locations and activities gave us a behind the scenes look in Kyoto as well as the typical iconography in the area. We will happily use this service again in our next trip.

For a group of 3 or more individuals this type of tour makes good financial sense and the convenience over a tour bus or larger grouped setting is invaluable.

I think Shirakawa-go is enough.
白川郷だけでいいかな
Activity Date: 2017/03/20 | Posted on: 2017/03/22

After visiting Shirakawa-go, I went to Gokayama, and by that time, I was getting a bit bored. I wish there had been a half-day tour just for Shirakawa-go.

I had plenty of free time in Shirakawa-go, so it was nice to relax in the hot springs and wander around. There wasn't much to see in Gokayama, and I got bored quickly. I usually don't have high expectations for lunch on tours, but the lunch in Shirakawa-go was better than I imagined! I definitely want to eat it again.

白川郷行ったあとに五箇山行き、その頃には飽きてきちゃってました。白川郷だけの半日ツアーがあるとよかったな。

白川郷での自由時間がたくさんあったので温泉入ったりプラプラできてよかったです。五箇山は見るとこがなくすぐ飽きてしまった。ツアーのお昼ご飯ってあまり期待してないのですが、白川郷でのお昼ご飯は想像以上によかった!ぜひまた食べたい。

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour.

We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with the meals we offered, as we put a lot of effort into them.

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama (Aikura) are famous for their gassho-zukuri architecture, but they have completely different atmospheres, which is why we included both in the itinerary. Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will take it into consideration for future tour planning.

This time, we traveled to Shirakawa-go via the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, but from summer to autumn, we will be using the "Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road," a scenic toll road that offers breathtaking views.

We look forward to welcoming you again with magnificent scenery and delicious meals when you visit us next time.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Shirakawa-go in winter
冬の白川郷
Activity Date: 2017/02/19 | Posted on: 2017/03/20

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go during my trip to Kanazawa, so I joined this tour. (I was looking for a tour that starts and ends at Kanazawa Station.)

After making the reservation, I was anxious because it remained in a provisional booking state due to not reaching the minimum number of participants. Even after checking the Q&A, it only stated, "We will contact you by the day before," and there was no phone contact available, so I decided to just wait. A week before the tour, I finally received a message confirming my participation, but since it affects my plans at the travel destination, I wish they could have confirmed it earlier.

The tour itself was very good. It was a clear day, and the scenery in Shirakawa-go was beautiful. It's a place you can only reach by car, and I was worried about the snowy roads, but it was very convenient to go on a bus tour like this. I also enjoyed the experience of making rice crackers on the way back.

I'm glad I participated in this tour.

金沢旅行の際に、白川郷にも訪れたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。
(金沢駅集合・金沢駅解散を探していました)

予約手続後、最少催行人数未達との理由でずっと仮予約状態となり、いつ予約完了となるのか不安でした。
Q&Aを見ても、「前日までを目処に連絡します」しか書いておらず、電話の連絡先もなかったので、とりあえず待つことにしました。
1週間前になり、漸く連絡が来て参加決定となったのですが、旅行先での予定にも関わってくるので、もっと早く確定していただけたらと思います。

ツアー自体はとても良かったです。
その日は快晴で、白川郷での景色もとても綺麗でした。
車でないと行けないし雪道は不安ですが、このようなバスツアーで行かれて大変便利でした。
帰りにお煎餅焼き体験ができたのも楽しかったです。

Dear Occhi,

Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in confirming the tour. Due to the nature of our destination-based tourism, it is quite common for reservations to be made shortly before the tour, which can sometimes lead to late confirmations. We understand that this can disrupt your travel plans, and we will strive to communicate as early as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

We are delighted to hear that you were very satisfied with the tour. The photo you shared is from the observation deck, right? It seems you were blessed with good weather, and the contrast between the snow and the blue sky makes for a beautiful picture.

The villages surrounding Japan's three famous mountains, "Hakusan," are known for heavy snowfall, and I imagine the impression of snow is quite strong, especially in Shirakawa-go. However, the area offers various beautiful landscapes throughout the four seasons, so we hope you will visit the Hokuriku and Hida regions in seasons other than winter as well.

Thank you for your high rating and feedback.

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and I had a great time with the perfectly timed schedule! The lunch featured plenty of local cuisine, allowing me to enjoy a variety of Shirakawa-go's food in just one meal. Although it wasn't part of the plan, I opted to visit Takayama, and it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying trip that exceeded my expectations. There were many foreign guests, and the explanations in both English and Japanese were thorough, allowing me to converse with other foreign tourists as well.

I hope to have the opportunity again!

Dear Students on a School Trip,

Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour. We are delighted to hear that you were very satisfied with your experience.

Opportunities for Japanese and foreign guests to enjoy a bus tour together are quite rare. It warms our hearts to know that we could facilitate a small international exchange on the bus.

There are still many hidden gems in the Hokuriku region that are not widely known. If you have the chance to visit again, we hope you will consider using our tours.

Thank you for your high evaluation and feedback.

Activity Date: 2017/02/12 | Posted on: 2017/03/06

I spontaneously traveled to Kanazawa and signed up for this tour on the Shinkansen. Personally, I think it would be quite hard to visit both Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go in just one night and two days, but thanks to the tour, I was able to enjoy a comfortable experience and make effective use of my time, which made me very satisfied. It was great to stroll through the snow-covered Shirakawa-go, and the free time was relatively long as well. I was able to catch a glimpse of the lives of people in the heavy snowfall area, making it a meaningful day.

Activity Date: 2017/02/19 | Posted on: 2017/03/05

During my 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishikawa Prefecture, I participated in this tour because I could only book a late flight on the third day. The area was very beautiful with fresh white snow from the day before. One of the great points of this tour was that we could start early in the morning and visit places before other tourists, and there was also a reasonable amount of free time. However, personally, I felt that it would have been enough to visit either Shirakawa-go or Gokayama, as I got a bit bored when we arrived in Gokayama.

石川県に2泊3日で旅行した際、3日目の飛行機が遅い便しか取れなかったため、ちょうど時間的に良いこちらのツアーに参加しました。前日に雪が降ったため、現地は新しい白い雪でとても綺麗でした。朝早く出発するため他の観光客の方たちより先に回れること、程よいくらいの自由時間もあることがこのツアーの良かった点です。ただ個人的には白川郷、五箇山どちらか一方だけで良かったなと感じました。五箇山に来た時には少し飽きてしまいました。

Dear Salt,

Thank you very much for participating in the "Shirakawa-go and Gokayama: Two World Heritage Village Experience Tour."

The winter scenery of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, especially when it snows, creates a magical atmosphere that has greatly impressed all participants. As you mentioned, our tour departs slightly earlier, allowing for sightseeing before the crowds arrive, which is a significant advantage. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied with your experience.

We also appreciate your valuable feedback. We will use it as a reference for planning future tours, aiming to create even more memorable travel experiences for our customers.

In addition to the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama course, we also offer a course that includes a tour of Shirakawa-go and Takayama, a small Kyoto in Hida. If you visit Ishikawa Prefecture, we highly recommend this course as well, and we look forward to your participation.

Thank you once again for your feedback.

This time, I requested a guide to show my American female relative around. The driver's stories were very interesting, and even as a Japanese person, I found myself captivated by them (laughs). On the day, you can discuss the destinations and dining options, but I think it's more efficient for those who apply to have a plan prepared in advance. The course was Kinkaku-ji → Arashiyama and Togetsukyo (photo opportunities only) → Tenryu-ji and the garden → Bamboo Grove → Lunch (Tenkaippin) → Nishiki Market → Kiyomizu-dera → JR Kyoto Station. I think this is a great service for entertaining foreigners. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much!

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide
Re : Tour with English speaking guide in Kyoto
Activity Date: 2016/12/30 | Posted on: 2017/01/10

Our driver Fuji was perfect! He spoke fluent English and was very discreet at all times. He helped us understand a little more at our tour spots and took us at the right time to each one. Even dropped us off at the Kyoto station dot on time, as expected. He was full of little extra tit bit info which I found fascinating. I would highly recommend Mr. Fuji as a guide for anyone wanting to explore Kyoto by limo.

It was interesting to hear the guide talk about the history and trivia of Ishikawa Prefecture and Toyama Prefecture during the round trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The guide was fluent in English and explained everything in a way that was understandable for the foreign guests accompanying us. The lunch was also delicious. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try other tours offered by the same company.

白川郷、五箇山までの行き帰りの道のりで、ガイドさんが石川県、富山県の歴史やトリビアを話してくれたのは面白かったです。ガイドさんの英語が堪能で同行した外人にも、わかるように説明してくれました。昼食のご飯もおいしかったです。
機会があれば、同社の他のツアーも試してみたいと思います。

I planned to visit Shirakawa-go on a day trip during my year-end trip to Kanazawa, but the regular buses were fully booked two weeks prior. I hurriedly searched online and found this tour. I was worried since it wasn't through a major travel agency, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory. There were over 30 people in total that day. While there were many Japanese groups, there were also a few foreign couples. The male guide was kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and provided casual yet useful information without being pushy, which made it very pleasant. The planning was well done, as we arrived before the area got crowded, making everything very smooth. I highly recommend it.

年末の金沢旅行の際に日帰りで白川郷に行こうと思いましたが、2週間前の時点で定期バスは満席、あわててネットで探してこのツアーにたどり着きました。大手の旅行代理店経由でなかったため心配でしたが、結果的にとても良い思い出になりました。当日は全体で30人超。日本人のグループが多いですが外国人カップルなどもちらほらいました。ガイド役の男性は心優しく、お話も博学ながらカジュアルで役立つ情報が多く、且つ押しつけがましくなくて、とても心地よかったです。現地が混み合う前に到着するなどうまく計画されていて、とてもスムーズでした。お勧めです。

Dear Tsuchiya,

Thank you very much for participating in our "Shirakawa-go and Gokayama: Two World Heritage Villages Tour." It was a warm day for winter in Hokuriku, wasn't it? We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Shirakawa-go and the Ainokura village in Gokayama.

Although my knowledge is limited, I strive to share as much information as possible about Kanazawa and the gassho-zukuri villages with everyone. I appreciate that you have made wonderful memories from your trip.

If you ever come to Kanazawa or the Hokuriku region again, there is a toll road called the "Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road" that passes through Hakusan National Park. This road is open from June to November and offers magnificent views of the mountains and numerous waterfalls.

We hope you will visit us again, and we look forward to having you join our tours in the future.

Thank you.

Fantastic time!
Activity Date: 2016/12/09 | Posted on: 2016/12/19

Had a great time in Yokohama & Kamakura with Taiji, our driver cum guide.
So glad that I opted for this tour provided by TSA

Saw beautiful golden maple leaves - remnants of Autumn. Trip was enjoyable as our guide was fluent in English which made communication a BIG plus

Patient & accommodating to our needs, young and old. Will highly recommend Taiji to anyone requiring driver cum guide services

The tour was a blast. Our driver, Hiro, did an excellent job getting us around the city- especially given that it was a holiday and the major sites were crowded. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and answered all of our questions about Kyoto. I highly recommend this tour to others.

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour by Local Guide with Customizable Itinerary
Great fun in Tokyo!
Activity Date: 2016/12/11 | Posted on: 2016/12/13

We enjoyed a second wonderful day on our visit to Japan with our guide Taiji. After a very long day visiting Mt. Fuji, we embarked on a city tour of Tokyo by planning a more leisurely pace. Starting the day by introducing Taiji to his first "Costco experience" was a fun and relaxing way to wind down from the previous day, then we quickly got back into busy mode for the rest of the day until dinnertime. Taiji adjusted quickly on the fly to our fickle plans but managed to combine great food, sightseeing, and shopping into one full and memorable day, including extra trips back to our place to drop off some of our shopping bags! Thank you so much again for showing us a great time in Tokyo, Taiji. We will certainly be back soon!

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary
Fantastic Time on Mt. Fuji Tour
Activity Date: 2016/12/10 | Posted on: 2016/12/13

We had a fabulous time with our guide Taiji. Not only did we luck out in mid December with nearly perfect weather that afforded us with gorgeous views everywhere of Mt. Fuji, but Taiji was able to recommend some great sightseeing as well as shopping spots to us. The highlights included an amazing visit to the kimono museum that Taiji recommended to us that included a magnificent tea room, as well as a fantastic local lunch spot that also included an amazing photo gallery upstairs with one-of-a-kind shots of Mt. Fuji. What an utterly memorable and unforgettable experience! Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful guidance, Taiji!

Thank you so much Derek for your kind comment.
It was a great pleasure to receive and attend your dads anniversary trip. The tea room was awesome and did not expect that all of you will love the museum so much.
It was also nice to discover the grape jelly that I'm now recommending to my new guest when I take them there.
We were lucky to have had such nice weather for 2 days and were able to take some beautiful pictures of Mt. Fuji.
Thank you for the dinner at the end of the day at Ginza.
p.s.
And thank you for the happy news about the wallet that came back, trust us lol.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride
Great tour and recommended!
Activity Date: 2016/11/22 | Posted on: 2016/11/24

We were lucky on the day we visited. Sky was clear and we were able to see Mount Fuji and also visited the Owakudani Valley (and eat the Black Egg!). Our tour guide, Kana-san speaks good English and clear. She also gave us alot of visitor information on Japan. We did not make any lunch reservation therefore we ordered food from the hotel on that day itself - not too pricey, for about 1300yen and you will get a quite decent bowl of Hot Udon with tempura.
Worth going for this tour!

Unfortunately with the traffic, touring by Coach was not a good idea as we spent most our time travelling. May be going by bullet train and meet at the station would have been better, Drivers and guide were very nice.
