Kamakura is a must-visit town for any foreign visitor coming to Japan and it can be easily reached from Tokyo on a 60-mn train journey. Very convenient especially if you are JR Pass holder. We started the journey with our guide, who was waiting for us @the lobby of our hotel and kindly guided us through the bustling morning Japanese metro system. Visiting Kamakura was like going through different emotions and living exceptional experiences depending on the sites visited. The Hase-Dera temple, Kotokuin area, the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu temple and the Kamakura street market (where original flavoured peanuts were sold like those strawberries, mulberries, okonomyaki, wasabi, takoyaki flavours) were amazing venues that have their own spirit and atmosphere and imprint unforgettable memories on the visitors. Our guide helped us to know more about the religious, political and social history of Kamakura. We hope to be back again in the fulture to explore more the seaside and spend one day @Kamakura. Thank you so much to our guide who was very kind and helpful (she guided us through the Toranomon Hills metro station after the end of our tour) and professional. Best wishes to her.

We had such a wonderful time touring with Chris! A patient and interesting guide who offered lots of detail and catered the trip to suit our wants and needs. Very comfortable, and well prepared - even had hiking boots available for visits deep in the forest without ruining our shoes! Chris was very patient and showed us hidden treasures we wouldn't have found otherwise. Very well organised and a pleasure to experience Mt Fuji with - much better than a crowded tour bus!!!

Really good store in kofu city close to the minami Alp. They have everything you need for hiking. More than the gear the staff is super impressive, they help a to choose product and then they help us with some questions about a 5 days hike we had plan. They take on their time to answer all the question and to be sure everything was clear and ready for us. They have impressive knowledge about the different trail existing there, their difficulty and how beautiful they are. Overall a really good place to visit before going in the mountain !

Four persons, a perfect half day, with Taka. Taka provided us a wealth of options including a great mix of off-the-beaten path locations. Very knowledgable, great English (for a bunch of US Southerners). Fuji did not disappoint, with fresh snowfall. Taka eagerly provided us with follow-on suggestions for the rest of our time in the area. Absolutely, definitely worth it.

As we where travelling in Fuji area in these Covid times, we stayed at K's house for a couple of night to recharge and restore ourselves after long travels. The place was the best deal, and great facilities, all we could need, and very clean and tidy and diverse, from Kotatsu, to guitar, and from amazing photography books to hammock and the big fully equiped kitchen and the perfect location, What could we have asked more ? Well, the staff was so nice that they noticed it was soon my birthday and when I entered the room they had left a present for me! A golden sake in a beautiful Fuji tissu. I was truly touched by this intention.. Thank you very much for making our stay in Fuji very comfortable and special ???? Soon to come again ????

My 2 friends and I went on the beginners Spring Tour 2019 for our first trip to Japan. We loved it and can't wait to go back! Becky and Shawn are awesome. They were so down to earth, helpful and very knowledgeable. I also really liked that the tour group is small. It allows you to get to know your fellow group members and ensures personal attention from your guides. We saw so many large tour groups at tour sites and they looked a little chaotic, it made me happy we chose a small group. The accommodations were always clean and comfortable and located perfectly. Food was amazing!!! If you are willing to try new things you can have an amazing gourmet experience. The events and locations that Becky and Shawn chose were top notch and we got to experience all different modes of transportation while there.
