We were picked up at the Yokohama cruise terminal on a private van. The tour guide was very professional and very diligent. We had made a schedule beforehand and the guide made sure we visited every stop. I would greatly recommend this to anyone that's travelling with a group of friends or family looking for a private tour.

We had a wonderful day with Takashi as our guide. We visited Arakura Sengen Park and Shrine, 4th Station, Wind and Ice Caves, Mt Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Oishi Park. We were very lucky and got to see Mt. Fuji all day. Takashi was very knowledgeable about all sites and the history of Japan and we would highly recommend this tour.

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

It is a shame we only went up to fifth level of mount Fuji. But for those not good with high altitude this is amazing experience. The people of Japan are so helpful and always willing to help. Amazing trip and will do it again this time to go right up to the too of mount Fuji.

Yoshi was a great tour guide. He tells a lot of stories and takes you to your desired places and then some. We went to the National Gardens, stopped to say hi to Hachiko, and went to the Chiku Chiku Cafe. The Hedgehogs were so cute! They're usually nocturnal and the one I was visiting, Butter, was really tired and wanted to sleep so I only took a couple pictures and let him rest the rest of the time :) Take care Yoshi! Hope you have more fun adventures

The itinerary was as exactly what I had expected out of the tour - efficient conduct and punctual to the core. The multilingual audio tour was informative and provided quite a comprehensive background information prior to arrival at each tourist attraction. The day was especially glorious with blue sky, hardly any cloud in sight and with plenty of sun - couldn't have picked a better day myself to go on this tour. Don't expect any commentary in English by a tour guide or even a guided tour because there is none - that's what the headset provided at the start of the tour is for and this tour is pretty much free and easy, provided you adhere to the time specified by the tour guide. There was 1 thing on the itinerary which was clear - at Lake Shikotsu, entrance to the ice festival was out of pocket. That didn't bother me that much as the scenery on Lake Shikotsu did plenty to keep me occupied. I enjoyed myself so thoroughly this trip that I had forgotten to obtain the tourist stamp at each attraction - only remembering to get one during my last stop at Mt Usuzan. Oh well, it's better than nothing.
