5.00What stood out for us was high degree of excellence we experienced from the degree of advanced communication, meet up at the port, and throughout the entire tour itself. The wonder of the sites we visited as listed in the tour details speak for themselves. But what really made this tour so worthwhile for us was the professionalism of our guide Hama. He shared with us his wealth of knowledge in an engaging and informative manner that gave us insights that we would never have experienced on our own or in a large group. I should also mention that in addition to Hama we had a driver. This freed up Hama to give us his full attention at all times. My wife has some minor mobility issues that both Hama and our driver graciously were attentive to in a manner that still allowed us to make every stop on the tour. The overall genuine pride and expertise shown by this company and the individuals we interacted with made this a memorable first class experience.
Excellent tour and guide!

5.00We were met at the ship by our guide Motoko who took us to view Mount Fuji from a few great locations it was a great day and no clouds so a full view of the famous Mountain. We then went to the shrine and tomb of the first Shogun which was great. After all this a green tea farm the an exceptional sushi lunch with Motoko and our driver we had a great time. Thank you Motoko for your great company.

5.00We had both a driver and a Guid. The car was a large van taxi. Our guide Kiyo was excellent. Her English was very good. She talked to us about Japan, culture and geography between stops. We comfortably saw all 4 places in the itinerary in 4 hours. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Kiyo.
