5.00Ryo 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.

Exploring the Kawaguchiko area

5.00Loved 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.
A must do day trip!

5.00Ryo 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!
