Reviews
An awesome day trip to Hakone and Yamanaka! A great thanks to our guide, Yang for her excellent service and her passion to share useful information for each destination, and taught us Japanese phrases/words. It was exciting to see Mt Fuji didn't shy away from our tour group today despite Tsuyu season in summer. Highly recommended! 🗼⛩️🏔️
We really appreciate the excellent and professional service from our guide Mr Ohashi. Mr Ohashi is very friendly and chatty. Throughout the journey, he shared with us details of the itinerary. It is really informative for us, first timer to Mt Fuji. Overall, the day trip package is really interesting and fun. We enjoy the pirate ship ride at Lake Ashinoko and the gondola at Hakone Ropeway. My daughter ate four black eggs at Owakudani 😅😄😄😄
Thank you Will for the hospitality and good service! Throughout this journey, he told us about the history of Tokyo, foods recommendation, souvenirs to buy in multi language like Mandarin and English so that everyone can understand clearly. We felt so lucky and grateful that we can see the view of Fuji mountain even though the visibility only 2 in the morning. Will come back again soon, bye bye!
The experience was wonderful. Our guide Mandy was very kind, energetic and fun. She explained everything very clearly and it was easy for us to understand. The views and the locations was stunning. I liked it very much, and i will recommend with all my pleasure to come and to be lucky to have Mandy as a guide again.
An excellent trip! All the locations were beautiful—a truly great family experience. Although everything had to move very quickly, Mandy went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic day filled with wonderful moments. I noticed other tour guides who looked grumpy—as if they didn't even want to be doing their jobs—but Mandy was always patient, fun, and, above all, kind. If you have the chance to book with Mandy, do it!
The tour was great! We easily reached the meeting point at Tokyo Station by subway. We were a large group, and the big bus was full. The seats on the bus are cramped. Tall people, 6'1" (1.85m) and over, might have difficulty with their long legs. The first row and the middle seat of the last row have legroom. We visited all the spots. With so many spots, time was sometimes tight. It wasn't always possible to look around extensively and at leisure. Nevertheless, we were very satisfied and were able to collect memories from everything we wanted. Our tour guide, Will, informed us a day in advance via email and WhatsApp. We highly recommend this tour!
Tour guide Sun-san kept us engaged all throughout the trip. She’s very energetic and hands on. It was a great day and she was very thorough with the itinerary, making sure we can go through all the activities for the day.
10/10 — highly recommend! It was an incredible experience and were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather, with clear views of Mt. Fuji the entire time. We had the best day ever and this was even more possible because of our guide Will. He was experienced and knowledgeable, sharing helpful insights about each location along the way. He also pointed out the best photo spots at every stop, which really enhanced the experience. Overall, a fantastic and well run tour!
All the places were shown as mentioned in the itinerary with sufficient time at each location. The guide Will was helpful. He also shared details of places were visited in a simple and interesting way. At the end of the trip, he gave each one a sticker that represented different cultural elements of Japan. I really liked this part. We all got to learn bit more about Japanese culture as a result.
Hello My Friend, Will. Thank you for accompanying us during yesterday's trip. I'm very happy and the first experience was amazing. You are very friendly and kind and provide good explanations. Ontime 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Once again, thank you. Highly recommend this trip…
