5.00Our original Mount Fuji tour, which we’d booked about six months in advance, was unexpectedly cancelled — and I didn’t realize it until the day before. In a bit of a panic, I started searching for a last-minute alternative… and that’s how we found Taka. What an incredible stroke of luck! Taka picked up our group of six adults around 8 AM and comfortably fit all of us into his van for a full-day “hidden gems” tour around Mount Fuji. The weather couldn’t have been better — clear skies and stunning views from every angle. Taka was friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared personal stories and fascinating insights about life in Japan, and he took amazing photos of us throughout the day. We loved the experience so much that we extended the tour by two extra hours. What started as a stressful scramble turned into one of the highlights of our trip. We couldn’t recommend Taka enough!
Taka was a fantastic guide

5.00This tour was fantastic. We were able to avoid tourist traps and get a great well rounded experience around Fuji in a reasonable timeframe. We left the tour feeling extremely satisfied and pleased with the entire experience. I want to acknowledge how great Taka is. He is very friendly and knowledgeable - really grateful to have him as our guide.
The best part of our two week trip to Japan!

5.00Without question, the most knowledgeable, interesting, nicest, truly wonderful guide. Truly the highlight of our trip. He made it clear that this area is so much more than a day trip from Tokyo. If he’s available, book Taka now.
