Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

Super fun times with Taiji

Reviewed by: Derek E

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.

As you know i can manage to bring you to any place including your favorite shopping site Costco.
Oh, and thank you for the gift, I opened that Champagne on my birthday.

Hope that all of your team is doing well and hopefully see you again in Japan to explore new places.
Taiji

The facilities around the aquarium were better. 水族館よりも周りの施設が良かったです

Reviewed by: Yuki.N

Honestly, the aquarium wasn't as impressive as I had expected. However, the surrounding facilities were great, and I had a lot of fun. Pineapple Park was also interesting, kind of like a small botanical garden.

正直、水族館は思っていたほどの感動ではありませんでした。
しかし周りの施設がとても良くて、大変楽しめました。
パイナップルパークもちょっとした植物園みたいな感じで面白かったです。

Mt. Fuji and Hakone Sightseeing Tour with Gotemba Outlet Shopping from Tokyo

The place was beautiful but the guide was meh..

Reviewed by: Ray

The places of interests were worth going although it's packed with tourist. I wasn't too happy with the guide because he didn't even bother to explain much about the places of interest. He just took us there and told us to return at a specific time without introducing the place. A bus driver could have done his job. In the package, I was promised to have vocanlo eggs but didn't receive anything at all.

I should opt to visit the places myself instead of following this tour. Disappointed.

I was very satisfied spending a leisurely time in the Ryukyu atmosphere, resting in the shade while listening to the stories and songs from the guide, along with the water buffalo, Ryuu-kun (*´∀｀).

Even though it was December, we were blessed with good weather and thoroughly enjoyed Taketomi Island!

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

Cold and wet, but still amazing day!

Reviewed by: Jeremy

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.

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

Two women! First time in Yakushima! A satisfying tour for the greedy! 女2人！初めての屋久島！よくばり満足ツアー

Reviewed by: ビーサン

At the end of March, I visited Yakushima for the first time. Since my stay was limited, I decided to join a comprehensive tour! As a result, I was able to see everything I wanted in one day: the moss-covered forest, Taiko Rock, Jomon Sugi, the trolley road, and lots of moss. I breathed in the natural air and had a very satisfying day.

**Satisfaction Points**
● The ability to do so much in one go... The standard plan for Yakushima involves a 10-hour trek over two days plus a 6-hour trek... Just thinking about the fatigue on the second day is daunting. I definitely recommend doing it all in one day for 12 hours!
● Peace of mind... With a guide, the timing for breaks is perfect! The guide has been leading tours for 200 days a year and shares many interesting stories while trekking.
● Rentals available... I rented rain gear. Even though it was sunny, it was very useful (the top). I couldn't be there for the rental, but when I called the rental company for advice, they were very accommodating.

**Points to be Careful About**
● Of course, you will get tired! It's not easy! But the fun is so overwhelming that the fatigue disappears!
● This tour is not suitable for those who want to take a lot of photos... Since it's a packed itinerary, you have to trek quickly. The guide manages the time well, so there won't be stops for explanations! However, at photo points, you can take pictures freely, and the guide provides explanations while walking (you can ask if you want to know more). I had plenty of fun!
● Wear shoes that suit you!
● Battle with muscle soreness... I recommend a hot spring for that night. It feels dozens of times better than usual.

**Outfit on the Day (Late March)**
Weather on the day: It was forecasted to be cloudy, but it was clear.
● Top: Long-sleeve undershirt (Montbell) + T-shirt + rain parka (rental)
● Bottom: Hiking pants, trekking shoes
● Things I brought just in case but didn't use: Sports towel (didn't sweat), down jacket (no cold moments, only used on the bus ride back)

**Contents of My Bag**
About 2000 yen, light down jacket, two bento boxes, headlamp, two bottles of water (there's spring water at each rest area, so one bottle is enough), a lot of snacks.

**Things I Wish I Had**
Wet wipes (sometimes you want to wipe your hands after eating).

Overall, I was extremely satisfied to fully enjoy my first experience in Yakushima in just one visit!!! I want to recommend this tour to friends who are planning to go to Yakushima!

3月末に初めての屋久島。滞在日数が限られていたので思い切ってよくばりツアーに参加しました！
結果、1日で苔むすの森、太鼓岩、縄文杉、トロッコ道、苔、苔、苔、見たいものが全て見れて自然の空気をたくさん吸って大満足の1日でした。
《満足ポイント》
●なんといってもよくばれること・・・屋久島の定番プランといえば、2日に渡る10時間+6時間のトレッキング...2日目の疲労度を考えるだけでゾッとします。一度に12時間が断然お勧め！
●安心しかない ・・・案内人付きなので休憩のタイミングは絶妙！年間200日も案内しているガイドさん、トレッキングしながらお話しすると色々面白いお話聞かせてくれます。
●レンタルできる・・・レインウェアをレンタルしました。晴れててもかなり重宝しました(トップス)。レンタルにどうしても立ち会えず、レンタル会社に電話で相談した所、臨機応変に対応してくれました。

《ここ気をつけて！ポイント》
●当然疲れます！楽ではありません！だけど疲れなんぞ吹っ飛ぶほどたのしい！
●写真撮りにきてる人には向いてないツアー・・・欲張ってるのでもちろんサクサクとトレッキングしなくてはなりません。時間配分を考えながら道案内してくれるので、立ち止まってガイドはしません！だけど撮影ポイントでは自由に写真を撮らせてくれて、歩きながら説明もしてくれて(知りたければ聞けばいい)、私は十二分にたくさん楽しませてもらいました！
●自分に合った靴を履くこと！
●筋肉痛との闘い・・・この日の夜は温泉をお勧めします。いつもの数十倍気持ちいいです。

《当日の服装 3月下旬》
当日の天気：曇り予報でしたが快晴
●上：長袖肌着(モンベル)+Tシャツ+レインパーカー(レンタル)
●下：山登り用ズボン、トレッキングシューズ
●念のため持っていたけど使わなかったもの：スポーツタオル(汗をかかない)、ダウン(寒い場面がない、強いて言うなら帰りのバスで使用)

《バッグの中身》
お金2000円位、ライトダウン、弁当二個、ヘッドライト、ペットボトル2本(湧き水が休憩所ごとにあるのでもはや一本あれば十分)、大量のお菓子

《あったらよかったもの》
ウエットティッシュ(ご飯後など手を拭きたくなる時がある)

とにかく初めての屋久島を一度で満喫できて大大大満足でした！！！
屋久島に行こうとしてる友人にもこのツアーを紹介したいと思います！

This tour was exceptional in that it was possible to select and change the itinerary as the day progressed. The tour guide spoke good English, was knowledgeable about the places we visited, and was happy and adept at discovering additional places to visit to fit our interests. In addition, the driver also spoke good English, drove well and safely, and also was helpful in support of the guide. We also had a very nice lunch in a beautiful and peaceful restaurant. All in all, this was without doubt the best tour we had in Japan.
The tour comprised a married couple and a friend - all fairly elderly, but the guide made sure we were able to see all the important sight seeing aspects of the tour.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

It was very rushed, crowded experience.

Reviewed by: Sam&Cisco

We were picked up from a nearby hotel to our own hotel. we were picked up with a bus which goes to our actual transport bus. There were around 3 or four busses which were to same direction to mount FUJI all together 100 people only from the same company which is GRAY LINE.
First stop was mount Fuji 4th station. (We were told that 5th station was closed due to weather conditions, which is OK) however the problem was to enter 4th station it took 40 minutes, as I believe there were many other tours.
Super crowded, people were on top of each other to take pictures of Fuji view. The queue in front of the toilet was long impossible to use.
Indeed we were only given 20 minutes in the area.
By the time you get off and on the bus is already a lot of time passed.
After that next station was lunch break, it was given only 30 minutes, which I am glad we requested no lunch as well.
When we goy on the boat on lake Ashi, there was no place to sit down, boat was overcrowded obviously we stood indoors.
Overall I wanted to see mount FUJI close by which was done.
But it was rushed and very crowded. Tour guide was robotic overall no enthusiasm.
If you are OK with such tight schedule and dont mind being rushed everywhere it is alright.
I believe these kind of tours have a limited quota and not oversold just for money.
End of the day it was over 100 dollars per person still with no lunch.
You might better do the tour by yourself or pay more and find a private kinda tour.

金沢発着日帰りバスツアー 白川郷＋五箇山 2つの世界遺産めぐる合掌造り周遊 山の幸満載の昼食＜月・火・金 催行／添乗員同行／1日＞

I'm glad I participated! 参加して良かったです！

Reviewed by: ソフト

I participated with my middle and high school children. While enjoying the scenery along the way, the guide kindly shared stories about the area, highlights of the spots we were heading to, and how to get around. We were able to enjoy our free time at a leisurely pace. The guide's interesting stories kept the children engaged and listening seriously.

The lunch was plentiful and very delicious. Despite having eaten pork buns, croquettes, and dumplings, the children finished everything. The hands-on experience of making senbei was also well-received.

I usually travel by car, and this was my first bus tour, but I felt like I could experience the land more leisurely than on my usual trips. I was delighted by the scenery of Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to visit for many years.

The guide, interpreter, and driver were all warm and friendly, which made for a very pleasant experience. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, thanks to the staff, I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. Bus tours are great! I would like to use them again.

中高生の子供と参加しました。道中景色を見ながら、この地方の話、これから向かうスポットの見所、回り方をガイドさんが丁寧に話して下さり、自由行動もゆっくり楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが興味深いお話を上手にして下さるので、子供達も真剣に聞いていました。
お昼ご飯は量も多く、とても美味しかったです。子供達は豚まんやコロッケ、団子、、食べていたにも関わらず完食でした。せんべい手焼き体験も好評でした。
普段車での旅行で、バスツアーは初めてだったのですが、いつもの旅行より、ゆったりと土地を感じられた気がします。長年訪ねたかった白川郷、景色にほっこりとしました。
ガイドさん、通訳さん、運転手さん、温かく声をかけて下さり、とても気持ちが良かったです。あいにくの雨が降ったり止んだりの天気でしたが、スタッフの方々のおかげで、十分楽しめました。バスツアーいいですね。また利用したいと思いました。

Despite the unfortunate heavy rain, our guide provided thorough explanations even after we got off the bus. I really felt that the guide's timing and way of speaking were truly professional. (The guide from the company that conducted the stargazing tour, which was canceled the day before due to cloudy skies, was not as impressive during the night drive in Ishigaki Island... I couldn't help but smile wryly.) The guide took photos for us and showed us pictures of what it looks like on sunny days, which really helped to lighten the mood for us tourists who were disappointed by the bad weather. I would love to come back and do this tour again on a nice day! ^_^

あいにくの大雨でしたが、ガイドさんはバスを降りてからも丁寧に説明してくださいました。
ガイドのタイミングと話し方が、やっぱりプロだなぁ〜と感じました。(前日、曇り空で中止になった星空ツアーの会社が行なってくださった石垣島の夜ドライブをしてくださった時のガイドさんはイマイチだったので…苦笑い)
写真を撮ってくださったり、晴れた日はこうだよ〜と写真を見せてくださったり、悪天候で残念に思っている私たち観光客を和ませてくださいました。また天気のいい時に、このツアーでリベンジしに行きたいです^_^

Okinawa Packed Tour 沖縄詰め込みツアー

Reviewed by: のちこ

I booked this tour to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at the request of a friend who was visiting for the first time. Everything was included, so it was easy to just hop on the bus and go! The bus guide was very charming, providing commentary and even singing songs from the window, which was very soothing.

Since the time at the Churaumi Aquarium was limited, we had to rush a bit to see everything we wanted, but we were able to take plenty of photos, and I think there was enough time to explore. If you coordinate your timing, you could also catch the dolphin show and visit the dugong exhibit outside. Unfortunately, the beautiful beach near the aquarium that the guide recommended was closed due to the typhoon from the previous week, which was disappointing.

I was looking forward to the bridge to Kouri Island, and when I saw it from the bus, the bridge and the sea were so beautiful that it really lifted my spirits! There was plenty of time to take photos around the bridge, so I was satisfied.

At the Okashi Goten, you can buy the classic purple sweet potato tart and chinsuko. The freshly made purple sweet potato tart recommended by the guide is only available in limited places, so I highly recommend it! It was moist and delicious.

Manzamo and American Village didn't leave much of an impression on me. There wasn't much to see at American Village, so we went to a nearby Aeon to look for souvenirs. The souvenir section was well-stocked, so I think it's a good idea for those with extra time to visit Aeon!

Lunch is not included, so be careful as there aren't many places to eat besides the Churaumi Aquarium. We missed our timing and ended up taking American dogs and other snacks from the aquarium's shop to eat on the bus.

Overall, I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see various places! I recommend this tour for those who don't have a rental car or other means of transportation.

初めて沖縄に行く友達のリクエストで、美ら海水族館に行けるこちらのツアーを予約しました。
全て込み込みなので、バスに乗って移動するだけなので楽ちんでした！バスガイドの方がとても可愛らしい方で、車窓から見えるガイドや歌も歌って下さり、とても癒されました。美ら海水族館は時間が決まっていたため、見たいところを少し駆け足でという感じでしたが、写真もたくさん撮れましたし、十分に回れる時間だと思います。時間を合わせれば、イルカショーや外のジュゴン館も見れました。ただ、ガイドさんがおすすめしてくださった水族館近くの綺麗なビーチは、前の週の台風の影響で立ち入り禁止になっており、残念でした…。
古宇利島の橋も楽しみにしていたので、バスから見えた瞬間、橋と海がとっても綺麗で、テンションが上がりました！橋の周辺で写真を撮る時間もたくさんあったので満足です。
お菓子御殿は定番の紅芋タルトやちんすこうが買えます。ガイドさんもおすすめしていた出来立ての生紅芋タルト、限られたところでしか買えませんのでおすすめです！しっとりしていておいしかったです。
万座毛とアメリカンビレッジはあまり印象に残らなかったです…。アメリカンビレッジではあまり見るところがなかったので、近くのイオンにお土産を探しに行きました。お土産品コーナーも充実していたので、時間が余った方はイオンに行くのもいいと思います！
お昼は含まれていないので、美ら海水族館くらいしか食べる時間・場所がありませんので気を付けてください。私たちはタイミングを逃してしまい、美ら海水族館の売店でアメリカンドックなどをテイクアウトしてバスの中で食べました。
総合的に色々なところを効率よく観光できたので、満足でした！レンタカーなど移動手段がない方におすすめです。

Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Arakura Sengen Shrine & Fuji Five Lakes

Higashi is the best! 东谦一真棒!

Reviewed by: LKL

Higashi is my Chinese-speaking Japanese born private
tour guide and having worked in China for many years, he is a gem that could give us Japanese culture and yet be able to relate to us - we are a Singaporean family (I was with my 70 year old mother and 2 sisters). He paced the entire trip nicely taking into account our speed, to the extent of serving our food needs and even accompany us to shopping to wherever we want and with such patience for a man! Encourage all to book him!

东谦一是我们的日本长大又能说中文的私人导游。他在中国工作了很多年，所以美好的融合了日本传统又能够跟我们的文化接近。由于我带了70岁的妈妈和两个妹妹，他完美得随我们的步伐导游，恰到好处。他更帮我们照顾周到， 餐饮和购物都随我们一起走，帮我们翻译，难能可贵的一个导游。大家请指定他为你的导游!

I participated in a trip with my daughter. 娘と二人旅で参加

Reviewed by: こつこつ

On our trip for two, we considered renting a car, but since there was a shuttle service to the hotel, we decided to participate. At Pineapple Park, we had to move quickly to avoid running out of time, but we were able to enjoy plenty of tastings. For lunch, we had... hmm? This? A hot sandwich. It was cold, and I think everyone might have wondered if this was really lunch. The Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun, and three hours flew by. The Okashi Goten felt like a souvenir shop for tourists. The driver and guide were friendly and smiling. It turned out to be a fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

二人旅で、レンタカーと迷いましたが、ホテルまで送迎付きでしたので参加させていただきました。パイナップルパークはゆっくり見ていると時間がなくなるため、サクッと回りました。試飲、試食はたくさんできました。昼食は、ん？これ？ホットサンド。冷え冷えでこれで昼食付きとはうたっては、皆さんこれが？と思われたかもです。美ら海水族館は、3時間があっという間で、とても楽しめました。
お菓子御殿は観光地のお土産やさん。との感じでした。
運転手さん、ガイドさんは笑顔で感じは良かったです。充実した１日になりました。ありがとうございました。

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Less than 24 hours and still got confirmation that's awesome!!

Reviewed by: Dawn

This tour was wonderful! I think the only downfall was because the weather was overcast so didn't get to see really good majestic pictures of Mt. Fuji but no fault of anyone but nature. LOL. The tour guide was very well versed in knowing all there was about cities, history, and spoke pretty good English. Everything went very smoothly and the traditional Japanese style lunch they planned was also right on point. I ate my very first and famously known black hard boiled egg straight from the site itself. Looking forward to the next trip and more planning through Veltra. Use Veltra as well as they seem to have more variety when all the other sites were all sold out, instant confirmations on most and a bit cheaper too. All bonuses!!

Thank you again, team, Veltra

Very encompassing tour of Tokyo. You see a both a Buddhist Temple and Shinto Shrine, visit several gardens, shop, take a boat ride on a scenic part of the river and have a great Japanese lunch. Of course the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom which made it extra special. Great guide!

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Great value and amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Joseph

This was the first time I took my parents on a bus tour and they were pleasantly surprised. The parking lot of the Metropolitan Government Building was a little confusing to find at first so make sure to get there early. Since the 5th station was closed due to the weather, we went to the 4th station instead but still had beautiful views from the top. The lunch at Fuji Q Highland was actually very tasty (chicken cacciatore, salad, bread, coffee/tea, dessert) in a beautiful little restaurant and an amazing view of the Mount Fuji from the tables. We had just enough time to do the sightseeing cruise, ropeway, and grab a little ice cream treat from the souvenir shop which must be a nice touch during the summer. We really loved the cruise and the view from the top of the cable car was spectacular for photos. Even if you were to add the cost of the bus, activities, food, and time to research I think it would cost more than than the tour itself. I would highly recommend this day trip to casual travelers that want a small taste of Japan's tallest and most majestic mountain.
