Posted on P CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible day spent at Mt. Fuji with Dan. Dan was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable and took us to all the best spots and helped us take the best pictures. He definitely helped make this a memorable trip and would highly recommend.Posted on Corey TakagiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience on the Live Nippon tour in Hakone. The entire day was incredibly well organized and it was a fantastic way to explore such a beautiful area without having to worry about transportation or planning. Hakone itself is stunning, with incredible scenery, great viewpoints, and so much to see. Our tour guide and driver, Maz, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting information about the area, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. Having someone like Maz guiding the tour really made the experience special. I highly recommend the Live Nippon Hakone tour to anyone visiting Japan. It’s a great way to see the highlights of Hakone, and if you’re lucky enough to have Maz as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic day!Posted on Peter SzmukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a nice trip to My Fuji. Our driver and guide, ISRAR was very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommendedPosted on Wayne AversTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This had to be the highlight of my trip to Japan so far. The weather was perfect and because we got there early, we beat the crowds and the mountain was totally clear. Petteri took me to all the best spots to get some amazing photos. The stop at the sake brewery was fun and something I wouldn't have thought to do if I tried to do this by myself. The boat ride on lake Kawaguchi was a total blast. A stop at Petteri's friend Valo's Cuban food for a Cuban sandwich and mojito was a perfect ending to a great day. Thanks Petteri for an experience I'll never forget.Posted on Aaditi LeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great private tour of Mt Fuji with our wonderful driver Pete . He took us to the best viewing points and was enthusiastic and cheerful on the entire tour .Posted on Kathleen Eaton-RobbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best day with our guide Petteri! We started early in the day to avoid traffic, which allowed us a full day of activities! Great views of Mt Fuji from multiple spots, including the Arakura Fuji Sengen shrine (which was not crowded since we were there first thing!). We visited the village of Oshino Hakaii, Lake Saiko, Nagasaki Park, a vegetable market, and ended our day at two terrific food trucks and some shopping. A very full, wonderful day in a comfortable vehicle with a great guide. Highly recommend this private tour over a bus tour!Posted on Josh ChizikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I decided to book a private tour to attempt and see Mt Fuji. The day prior we were skeptical about weather and visibility, as was the tour. They reached out ahead of time & let us know about an alternate trip to Kamakura/Enoshima because of the visibility. We woke up the morning of understanding weather was out of our control and excited to still go to the alternate trip. When we met with our guide, Petteri, he let us know he had been monitoring the weather and believed we should take the chance and switch back to Mt Fuji. I’m so glad we changed again last minute because it ended up being the absolute perfect day! The weather subsided, sun and blue skies came out and we had the entire day of completely clear views of Mt Fuji. Petteri took us to many of his favorite spots for photos, food and fun activities (like taking a speed boat through Lake Kawaguchiko for epic shots of Mt Fuji). All in all, a very successful trip thanks to Petteri. Absolutely recommend!Posted on Isnet ShabaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
