Wonderful personal tour of Mt Fuji area

5.00We had a wonderful 2 days of exploring Mt. Fuji area. The weather was so unpredictable being rainy, cloudy & windy, but Taka was able to take us to many beautiful spots and made it more interesting with stories about those sites. Because of his local knowledge, we were able to enjoy the many places while avoiding the massive tourist crowds. Taka took such great care of us that we felt like we were visiting Mt. Fuji area with a friend.
I would highly recommend! Taka was informative, very friendly and we saw stunning places we would have otherwise not kno

5.00Our tour with Taka was a highlight of our family trip to Japan! We had a family of 6 (including 2 kids and 2 grandparents), and Taka tailored the tour perfectly for our interests, abilities, weather, and timing. He was great with our 5 year old and even spent extra time with us to take us to an awesome playground after the tour! We loved hearing his stories and insights and came away with wonderful memories and photos. He also generously shared great recommendations for restaurants and activities during our visit. I cannot recommend his tour highly enough!

5.00Taka was an absolutely outstanding guide -- kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. We had such a wonderful time together and he interacted so well with everyone from the 5 year old to the 65 year old! We hope to stay in touch and see him again when we are next in Fuji. Thank you Taka!
Hidden Treasure of Kawaguchiko with Taka

- Review from Viator
5.00Our Mount Fuji - Kawaguchiko tour with Taka was one of the highlights of our trip. Taka was flexible with timing and destinations while providing a fun-filled adventure full of his knowledge and passion for the area. Highly recommend that you add this tour if you are staying in the area and want to add some hidden treasures to your itinerary, along with the more traditional touristy things you will be doing there on your own.
