5.00Amazing tour. Booked a non- cruise line excursion because there was no availability. We are experienced travelers and this ranks as a top 5 in our life. Excellent transportation and itinerary. Beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and nearby waterfalls as well as other sites. The tour guide, Ms Nobuko was terrific. Provided a wonderful background on each site and made the whole experience so much fun. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour for both the value and experience.

5.00Nobuko did an absolutely outstanding job throughout our entire visit to Mt. Fuji. From start to finish, she was kind, gentle, attentive, and genuinely caring, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Her deep knowledge of Japanese culture and the history of each site we visited truly enriched the experience and brought every location to life. She went above and beyond to ensure we understood and appreciated the significance of each stop, turning a beautiful trip into a meaningful and unforgettable adventure. I would highly recommend booking this incredible experience with Nobuko — it was truly a highlight of our time in Japan!

5.00This was one of the best tours we have possibly ever been on. The communication from start to finish was excellent. Meeting point was just outside the terminal and very close to the ship. Miyuki was our guide for the day and was very knowledgeable of the area and the locations we visited and she also gave us an insight into Japanese culture and her home life. She used props to explain where we were visiting. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks again Miyuki

Wonderful Lakes Waterfalls and Shrines Tour

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Ms Nobuko as our guide and Mr Yamazaki as our driver. The three sites we visited on the Lakes Waterfalls and Shrines tour were all wonderful. After some wonderful but fast paced days in Tokyo is was refreshing to get out and enjoy some of the beautiful natural wonders Japan has to offer. Whilst we didn’t see Fuji-san in its entirety we got magical views of large parts of the mountain. Ms Nobuko was kind and patient with our group of seven ranging from 5 years old to 53 years old. Her wealth of knowledge enhanced our visit and gave us valuable insight into the places we were visiting. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the area around Shimizu Port during a cruise or other trip.

5.00Great tour organizer - very easy and great booking experience. We had an amazing with Kiyo around Mount Fuji. We were five kids and three adults, and she took very well care about teaching us about all the things that are important. She has a set of cards with very colorful explanations and was not shy to answer all the questions we have the kids had.
Awesome views of Mt Fuji with an intimate experience at the Kanpuzan Ryuge-ji temple AND an awe-inspiring beach time.

5.00THANK YOU to our guide Ms Hiroko who was absolutely wonderful, showing us the best views of Mt. Fuji. We were early so we arrived before the crowds and were able to take our time and truly be immersed in the Kanpuzan Ryuge-ki temple and its beautiful gardens. My 7yo was able to feed the koi. He also enjoyed the beach so much that he almost cried when it was time to go. On the opposite spectrum, Ms Hiroko also catered to the needs of my elderly mother and took extra time and a quick stop to find her special snacks that she's been craving. My husband and I felt that we gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the area's culture and beauty. We also stopped for a few minutes at a convenience store where Ms Hiroko aided me in completing a purchase of parade tickets (something that could not be done in the United States). Thank you so much for your personalized attention, care, and professionalism. It was AMAZING!
