I am extremely satisfied. There are many kinds of animals, and I went to see the capybaras, but I was surprised at how big they were compared to what I expected. I actually fell more in love with the red pandas than the capybaras, which made it even more enjoyable. There is also an animal performance arena, but unfortunately, it was closed by the time I got there. I had a wonderful time before leaving. If you give yourself about two hours, you can fully enjoy everything.

It was a great trip and the guide was a 10/10. Just keep in mind that there aren't five stops, but three: the mountain or the zoo, then the train ride, and afterwards the bridge. Still, it was great for the price. There were only nine of us in a van, but it was very comfortable and fun :)

​My wife and I recently booked the Klook Mt. Omuro & Izu trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience, largely thanks to our guide, Andrew. He was exceptionally attentive, organized, and welcoming throughout the entire day. Andrew truly went the extra mile for everyone in our group, taking amazing care of all the details and making sure we were both comfortable and well looked after. His energy, thoughtfulness, and dedication made our trip truly memorable. Thank you, Andrew!

Omgosh! This was a long drive, but Mr. Jhon was amazing. We had a random stop for Potty Break and found some unique snacks. Hakone is so beautiful and green in June. The weather was perfect and we saw Mt. Fuji so many times.

Mila was our guide and she was amazing! She explained everything clearly and went above and beyond for me. It was a long day but the spots were beautiful if you just wanted a quick day trip/break from Tokyo. I am a solo female traveller also and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

We had a wonderful experience on this Izu day tour! The meeting point was easy to find, and our driver spoke excellent English, making everything easy to understand. He was also very accommodating, especially whenever anyone needed a bathroom break. Although we were disappointed that Mt. Omuro was closed, the tour operator informed us ahead of time that it would be unavailable from June 15 to 25, which we appreciated. Instead, we visited Izu Shaboten Zoo, and it became one of the highlights of our trip. Interacting with the capybaras was so much fun, and many of the animals roamed freely, making the experience even more memorable. Jogasaki Coast was breathtaking, and crossing the Kadonowaki Suspension Bridge offered incredible ocean views. The seaside train ride was also scenic and relaxing. Even without Mt. Omuro, this tour exceeded our expectations and is one I would happily recommend.

We went on 10/9, nice sunny weather and not windy. Everything went well ✨️ Our guide Mr. Ko explained the tour in English very well, despite we're the only non-Chinese speaking there 😆 Too bad we didn't get the chance to get on the black train. So we went straight to Mt. Omuro and the zoo, and the train ride became the last on our itinerary. We arrived around 6.30. Also thanks to the driver for driving us safely 😁

I would like to commend your driver, Mr. Hada ( 秦健朗 ) for the excellent service he provided during the Mt. Omuro Day Tour on 11 June 2026. Mr. Hada was professional, friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the trip. He drove safely, ensured that passengers were comfortable, and managed the itinerary efficiently while allowing us sufficient time to enjoy the attractions. His clear communication, punctuality, and positive attitude made the tour pleasant and enjoyable for everyone. We truly appreciated his dedication and excellent customer service, which contributed greatly to our wonderful experience at Mt. Omuro. Please convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Hada (秦健朗 ) for a job well done.
