We left our tour in Ryo's hands, as wanted a local guide's recommendations for a 4 hour trip with a bit of variety. So happy with what we experienced!
Thank you for your lovely review! I am so happy to hear that you were pleased with the 4-hour tour. It was truly a pleasure showing you around the Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi area. I hope you had a wonderful rest of your trip in Japan, and I look forward to seeing you again someday!
Area is stunning!Very good guide. Fluent in English what is a special treat in Japan! Fully recommended.
That was a nice day and Fuji was clear! We are grad to hear that you enjoyed the day. Thank you for coming to Mt. Fuji area!
Our guide Ryo picked us up promptly from our hotel amd took us to a few local sites and was very helpful and informative, helping us also with restaurant suggestions and travel arrangements.
Thank you for coming to Mt. Fuji are this time. We apricate you chose us, and very happy to hear that you liked our tour. Please let us know when you come to Japan again!
Ryo was an amazing guide, and he was super accommodating and flexible. He helped us make the most out of the short time we had. He even recommended a great place for lunch given some of my mom’s dietary restrictions.
We got a very knowledgeable TourGuide, Ryo. He knows well the place and he was very helpful to us.. Ryo was also very sensitive to our needs and tried to costumize where ever places we wanted to see..
Loved the flexibility of our tour guide Ryohei. The day we had our tour scheduled the weather was not cooperating and there was no view of Mt Fuji. So after talking to Ryohei we decided instead on a tour of the Kawaguchiko area. We visited the World Heritage Fujisan site, went to the Fujisan World Heritage Center, took an Ice Cave tour and had lunch. A great day exploring the area and we did get to see Mt Fuji the next day.
Ryo was amazing, he offered a general outline for our itinerary, showed us around a few major spots and gave us the flexibility to chose what else we wanted to see. We changed the itinerary by adding the Chureito Pagoda and at the end, we ended up visiting a museum - a traditional japanese village, Ryo's suggestion. His suggestions were spot on (even the best places to take photos) and the info he provided was great and helping us understand the local culture. I highly recommend taking his tour!
