Great tour and multiple stop. We had Yuki as a guide, who was wonderful! Sign up for the meal, we had the noodle and it was really tasty! Plenty of time on different spots! You will love it!

This was a most wonderful trip. We booked really late -- the evening before, on a whim, on our second to the last day of a week-long trip to Tokyo. Booking was a breeze. Meet-up details were exceedingly comprehensible, and the bus showed up punctually. And the tour itself -- it was such a joy. The best part was the place where they took us for a lunch and there was a nearby spot in the lake that had not many tourists in it: practically deserted. So there's lots of opportunities to take photos and to meditate. The traditional village part was also memorable. Special shout out to Chen, our tour guide -- classy, gentle, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Her soft touch and inner calm really shines through. 10/10 would take the this tour again within the year when i come back with the rest of my family, and would recommend to friends.

This tour was wonderfully organized with ample time at each location to explore the sites and especially enjoyed the guide's recommendation to try lavender ice cream at Oishi Park.

Lucky to see the beauty of Mt Fuji weather was good but for most of the places we went it was not amazing though our tour guide Eric went out and beyond what he can do to make our trip memorable. It was kind of chilly to enjoy the rest of the places. Our tour guide is commendable even helping us to get our first train ride in Tokyo. Very impressive. I would commend him for his dedication
