“We had a wonderful and informative day with Bob our guide and Kelly our driver. Bob was super engaging and made sure we were all having a great time, which we were.

Our family of four couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience!”

“We recently took a private day tour to Mount Fuji and the surrounding area. While we enjoyed our day, I have to mention that this tour felt more like having a private driver than a guided experience. If you're looking for in-depth information about Japan's history and culture, this might not be the best choice, as the guide's knowledge was somewhat limited. Additionally, be prepared for significant traffic; it took us about two hours to reach the area from Tokyo and around two and a half hours to return. Despite these drawbacks, we had a good day overall, and the driver was friendly and accommodating. Just manage your expectations regarding…”

“Our day trip was one for the books. Greatly enhanced by our young guide Leny. Even though he is not Japanese, his passion for Japanese culture shone through his knowledge and passionate storytelling. As a person he was also very, very personable and such an interesting, relatable human being. It helped he had creative judgment as we made him co-director of our tiktoks. The itinerary itself was well thought through --- we went to a temple and an onsen...we did not get to see Mt. Fuji (it was cloudy) but that did not matter in the end. Thank you Leny!”

“This was a great way to visit Hakone and see the sights if you are not planning on staying there for several days. Abdul, our driver, picked us up on time at our hotel...in fact, he was early! We made our way to the shrine and walked around a bit. Since we were there during the New Year's Holiday, there were many people in line to get an up-close view of the shrine. There were many vendors there selling all kinds of food and souvenirs. We then left for Lake Ashi where we boarded the pirate ship. The ship had plenty of snacks and beverages available for purchase. We opted…”

“We travelled to Tokyo from Adelaide, Australia with my partner and 7 month old daughter. We had an absolutely amazing experience on this Mount Fuji tour. Everything was well planned, from fitting a baby car seat, to pick up all the way to drop off. Maimoon was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide that showed us all the places and explained the history and culture associated with them. He was very accommodating to our requests and made us and the baby feel comfortable. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks Maimoon and TheTokyoTravel. Cheers”
