We found Live Nippon through a ChatGPT recommendation, and we couldn’t be happier! The company was outstanding from start to finish.

Our guide, Mirza, was absolutely wonderful — incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. Both our guide and driver deserve a 10/10!

They took us to beautiful hidden spots around Mount Fuji that we hadn’t found during our own online research, giving us unforgettable views and amazing photos.

Excellent communication, exceptional service, and a wonderful experience for our entire family. Highly recommended! We would definitely book with them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had a great time at Mt. Fuji. Abdul was great. He suggested to start the day early to beat the traffic and avoid large crowds, since it's during the busy fall season. He picked us up at 5:30am and when we got to Chureito Pagoda there was not that many people, so we were able to take our time and enjoy the view and take lots of pictures of Mt. Fuji.  Every site we visited after that was great, with no lines and small crowds. We were able to visit 5 sites.  The high light was the Zuijinmon shrine.  It was peaceful and tranquil. We highly recommend Abdul to anyone looking for a great tour guide to Mt. Fuji.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I did a tour of Mt. Fuji on 10/25/2026. Our tour guide was Petteri (Pete). The experience was amazing! Pete was a wonderful guide. His knowledge of the area made the experience magical! Pete didn’t feel like a guide. He felt like a friend you were visiting that was able to show you around. That’s how comfortable we were. Excellent conversation! Beautiful scenery! Great food! Thank you Pete! My wife and I had an awesome day with you! Thank you for making the tour a once in a lifetime experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing day with Anthony and Sam! Both very experienced! We were able to see a local green tea farm. Mount Fuji was not visible because of weather conditions but they made us have an unforgettable day visiting some temples, a local sake factory and teaching us a lot of Japanese culture! I definitely recommend the experience and cannot wait to be back again! Thanks Anthony and Sam for the amazing day! ☺️🫶🏻
