Posted on Edward CharlishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great trip. Shame about the weather but the guide Bajwa was great and planned a great itinerary. Would recommendPosted on Rafael ZavalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I booked a private Mt. Fuji tour during a short layover in Tokyo and it was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Our guide, Maz, is clearly very experienced and has his process down. He suggested an earlier start to avoid cherry blossom weekend crowds, which made travel from Tokyo smooth and gave us spectacular, unobstructed views. He took us to all the top photography spots, capturing amazing photos of us along the way. Thoughtful recommendations, like a speedboat ride on the lake, added even more highlights to the day. Maz was attentive to our preferences, providing context and history at each site, while keeping the tour well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a seamless, personalized Mt. Fuji experience.Posted on John HatzinikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Service – Live Nippon Saved Our Mount Fuji Trip !!! After another tour operator cancelled our confirmed booking only 15 minutes before pickup at 8:15am, we were left scrambling to find a last-minute solution for our Mount Fuji day trip. This was especially important to us because it was my family's first time visiting Japan, and the trip was also part of a birthday gift for my 72-year-old mother who had always dreamed of seeing Mount Fuji as well as the rest of Japan during cherry blossoms season. We contacted several companies before finding Live Nippon, and they managed to organise a private driver for us on extremely short notice. Within about an hour everything was arranged and we were picked up around 10:30am. Our driver was fantastic — professional, patient, and very accommodating. He happily followed our itinerary and took us to all the locations we wanted to visit around the Mount Fuji area. As luck would have it, the weather had been cloudy most of the day, but around 5pm the clouds cleared and Mount Fuji became completely visible. Because Live Nippon were able to organise the tour so quickly and give us a full day around the Fuji area, we were able to experience an absolutely incredible view of the mountain. What started as a stressful morning turned into one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. Thank you to Live Nippon for going above and beyond and saving our Mount Fuji experience. Highly recommended.Posted on Molle MobergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vi hade en helt fantastisk dag med vår privata guide Puscal. Han gav oss bra tips och var väldigt påläst och kunde berätta om de olika sakernas historia. Vi hade supertur och fick se Mt Fujis topp med snö på. Så vackert!Posted on Raymond TimmonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan was exceptional in an all day Tokyo tour. He speaks excellent English, was very knowledgeable and very dependable. He always parked near our experience so we were not exhausted and many good things to say about him the touring van was outstanding. It was clean, new and spacious. The Tokyo sites are too numerous to mention.Posted on TinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Pradhan as our tour guide in Mt. Fuji and Hakone tour. We were happy with his service. Although we were not able to go to Hakone due to too much traffic. It did gave us more time to explore other great places. We had great view and pictures of Mt. Fuji from Arakurayama Sengen Park and Lake Kamaguchi. We also went to a small village and market. Pradhan was very patient when I was shopping. We had a wonderful day and highly recommend Pradhan.Posted on daniel dawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Wonderful Day Chasing Mt. Fuji – Highly Recommend Live Nippon Tours! We had an absolutely fantastic day with Live Nippon Tours, and a huge thank you goes to our driver Petteri! He was an excellent guide and driver—safe, professional, friendly, and full of great stories and local insights that made the experience even better. Despite the famously “troublesome” Mt. Fuji playing hide-and-seek with the clouds, Petteri’s positive attitude and flexibility helped us make the most of every moment. We still got some beautiful views and enjoyed a perfectly planned itinerary. Our stops included: • A tasty breakfast at Dangozaka SA • Stunning scenery at the View Deck • Fun sake tasting at Ide Brewery • Peaceful views at Nagasaki Park • Fresh local goodies at Aozora Ichiba Fuji no Mise farmers market • And a delicious lunch in Fujikawaguchiko town with Cubano sandwiches & mojitos from El Sandwichazo, plus quesadillas from ¡Ah, Karai! Everything was well-organized, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Petteri really went above and beyond to give us a memorable day in the Fuji area. If you’re looking for a reliable, fun, and hassle-free way to experience Mt. Fuji and the surrounding region, I can’t recommend Live Nippon Tours (and Petteri!) enough. Thank you for a wonderful day!Posted on Brenda Thoeny-JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a fantastic experience! We had a wonderful guide, Pradhan, who could not have provided a better tour. Pradhan was ready and waiting for us when we arrived at the meet up spot. He was incredibly warm and friendly and he customized our trip to meet our needs. He was able to share local information about every site along the way. One of the highlights of the experience was a boat ride on Lake Kawaguchi, where our captain took numerous pictures of our group with Mt. Fuji in the background. Pradhan was always waiting for us promptly when we finished in any given area along the tour and he offered to take group photos for us. He was patient an always offered tips and ideas regarding food choices. I would highly recommend this private trip over a bus tour and if you require an English speaking guide, ask for Pradhan!Posted on Jason ReaderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Private Tour to Mt. Fuji - Haan was a fantastic and safe driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Shared information on the way there and back. Even had side tour suggestions that were great too (speedboat ride was great). Had some good lunch suggestions too. Highly recommend!Posted on Laurie GorlickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed our private tour with Maz to the Mt Fuiji area. He took us to many interesting sites . Although the weather made it challenging to see Mt Fuiji , Maz traveled out far enough so we could capture the mountain. We also enjoyed the best ice cream! I would highly recommend this tour .
