Here's what our customers say

The perfect Fuji day trip

Feb 2024

Ryu was excellent with communication and messaged us several days before our tour to confirm our custom Mt Fuji day trip itinerary. The morning of our tour, Ryu picked us up 30 minutes early to try and avoid the morning Tokyo traffic. My impression of Ryu was that he was very kind, knowledgeable and passionate about his long career in tourism.

He made my group of four feel very comfortable during 1.5 hour drive up to Fuji areas. We stopped at multiple locations that were recommended by Ryu, all of which were perfectly timed to beat the rush of tour buses and its crowds. At each stop, Ryu so kindly took several pictures of group to help document then memorable day. The trip with Ryu has been one of our favorite days in Japan thus far.

I highly recommend booking a day trip to Fuji or any other custom tours with Ryu!! Thank you for everything

The perfect day

Sep 2023

This was one of our favorite days during our two week stay in Japan. Ryu was a wonderful guide. He picked us up right outside our Airbnb. We spent a wonderful day exploring the Mount Fuji town. He showed us local food and gave us wonderful insight to Japanese culture and history. We got lucky and saw Mount Fuji cloud free, all day. We took a spontaneous speed boat tour viewing Mount Fuji. He showed us around the gardens that also viewed the mountain then took us to the iconic shrine. It was the perfect day! We highly recommend Ryu and his tour! It was worth every penny.
