I would greatly recommend this hassle-free package to visit the main attractions around Mt Fuji. We were fortunate to have Dana (Mian Mian) as our guide. She’s extremely patient and gave good commentary, advice and help to us. 🥰🥰🥰

Had a great time exploring Lake Biwa! I was the only non-Chinese speaker in the group, but our guide made sure I was included the whole time—translating key info and checking in with me throughout the tour. I forgot her name, but she was incredibly helpful and friendly. All the stops were beautiful—I loved every place we visited!

Visited the MIHO Museum, which has a collection of ancient art. Had to pay the entrance fee on-site. Then took a long bus ride to see Biwa Lake and the Torii gate in the water. Ended the trip at an old temple; the highlight was the mirror reflecting the trees. I was the only English speaker on the entire trip; everyone else spoke Chinese. The guide took great care of us, explaining everything well in both languages. It was enjoyable and I got to see new places, but I would recommend spending more time in the Shiga area.

It was very beautiful, and the guide was also very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed it and would recommend anyone to book it, if you come to Japan, you should definitely see Mount Fuji. It is breathtaking and beautiful.

A wonderful experience! Mitsuko-san was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. Meetup and transfers were easy and lunch was delicious (I had the vegetarian spinach curry). The only improvement I can think of was we only spent 50 min in the Saiko Iyashino Sato Nenba village which I felt was a bit short to experience everything it had to offer. Unfortunately due to the cloudiness we did not see Mount Fuji but had a great time regardless :)

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.

the best way to experience long distance places is by booking a tour. a hassle free and having a tour guide managing your time in each places visited. so far i enjoyed every places from this tour. prepare extra cash for ticket ride to The Biwako Terrace. their cafe’s and restaurants accepts CC payment. i did not regret paying to relax and enjoy my drink in the Infinity Lounge. summer was really hot in Japan so i had umbrella and a portable fan.

There are 10 groups of guests, so we arranged for a large bus. Our tour guide, Zhao, was the only one out of the 3 tours I took during my entire trip to Japan who would proactively WhatsApp the pick-up time in advance. The drive to Shiga is quite long, so those staying in Osaka should be prepared for a round trip of almost 6 hours.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Mount Fuji Day Trip… Truly Outstanding Service!🥳👍🏻
We had an absolutely amazing day trip to Mount Fuji, and the entire experience was seamless from beginning to end. We were conveniently picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel, which made everything so easy and stress-free for us.
林晨旋 was extremely professional, kind, and attentive throughout the trip. He knows exactly the best spots to visit and the most beautiful places to capture unforgettable photos. Thanks to him, we now have stunning memories of Mount Fuji that we will treasure forever. The views were truly breathtaking and beyond words!
Everyone in our group had a fantastic time, and everything was perfectly organized. This tour exceeded all our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for such wonderful service. We highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you so much for making our day so special and memorable🙌🏻
