Wonderful tour of Kawaguchiko area

5.00We had a wonderful time on our tour with Taka. He took us to various locations around the Kawaguchiko area which were lovely and interesting, and not jammed packed with other tourists. We took a walk to a secluded waterfall and a short hike though an untouched forest. Would definitely recommend a tour with him and will do another with him when in the area again.
Special & Memorable Experience - Thank You Taka!

5.00This tour was absolutely incredible and Taka was the best guide ever! Taka showed us all the best and hidden gems around Mt. Fuji. It was amazing to see his love for Mt. Fuji and the surrounding areas, which made this tour even more special and memorable. Taka also took time to help us with transportation recommendations and worked with us when we had a transportation mishap that caused a slight delay to our tour's start time. We wish we could give Taka and this tour more than 5 stars! Thank you Taka!

5.00This was an amazing tour. Taka-san was the perfect combination of friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and enthusiastic. He took us to places we never would have found on our own, and each of them was facinating - and not touristy (a first for our Japan trip). He also went out of his way to accommodate our party, making sure that everyone could participate. We HIGHLY recommend Taka-san and hope to come back and take more tours with him. Thank you, Taka-san!
Best guide ever!

5.00This was such a brilliant way to get the best out of a trip to Kawaguchico. We beat the crowds to go to some seriously beautiful places, we had loads of photo opportunities, and there was a real focus on nature and appreciating the sights. Taka was a beautiful human being, patient, friendly, respectful and I loved how much he loves Fuji in all it's glory. The best holiday guide we have ever had. 100% recommended.
