Mount Fuji tour and Gotemba outlets - Mazda was an absolutely wonderful tour guide! He was very enthusiastic throughout the tour and extremely knowledgeable about Mount Fuji. He was accommodating with our changes in itinerary and patient with us while we shopped at the Gotemba outlets. We would highly recommend him to other people for this tour and especially for families with young children.

Mt Fuji and Gotemba shopping in a luxury vehicle with a fab guide and driver - Wonderful day of luxury vehicle touring from Tokyo to Mt Fuji. I’m so glad we booked this tour because it was a highlight. Our guide Ken was patient attentive kind and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful clear day to view Mt Fuji and take beautiful photos that will be cherished. We spent a long time at the outlets shopping which was to my request so we probably could have done more sightseeing but this was my preference (love to shop) I travelled alone with three kids 9,11,14 and we all felt safe, happy and engaged the whole day. Thank you to Ken and the wonderful driver who took care of us all day as if we were family ❤️

One of the best tours! - The tour felt sureal! Taiji was able to change and shift our trip to Match how we wanted to experience japan. He was calm, collected, informed, and very very nice the entire tour. It never felt like we were rushing through the tour or just going to tourists trap spots, going on a tour with him felt like meeting a family member or friend who knew the area and was just excited to show you around which made the experience all the better. Overall the experience with him was one of the best I've ever had!

Mind-blown; excellent guide with breathtaking views - Our guide Mazda San reached out to me days in advance to suggest and customize the itinerary according to our preferences. I had initially shortlisted 3 Mount Fuji private tours but went with this due to the proactive correspondence from Mazda San prior to the trip. It turned out to be an EXCELLENT CHOICE. I am quite well travelled across all the continents but Mazda San by far is the most amazing tour guide I have ever experienced out of all my international travels. He being native Japanese (and also multi-lingual in English and speaks very good Mandarin), was able to help us appreciate the history of places we visit.
We were lucky to have gone on a day where Mount Fuji was in clear view, and Mazda San made our day even more wonderful with his excellent service.
We travelled as a big group of 7 including 3 young children, but I felt like Mazda San single-handedly took care of us like family.
He is extremely efficient, knows exactly where the perfect photo spots are, and even looked after the entire entourage when we split into 3 groups at the premium outlets.
Even when the return traffic was unforgiving due to a road accident ahead, Mazda San made a short stop and surprised us with warm drinks before continuing with the last bit of the drive back. With his efficiency and magic we were able to see all the desired spots and came home with lovely photos as memories of our day at Mount Fuji. As a family, we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy Mount Fuji so much if not for Mazda San’s ingenuity and attention to detail. Mazda San went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend him, in a heartbeat. Would love to engage him again for all my future Japan private tours.

A very pleasant customize Tour! - We are a first-time-to-Japan travelling couple, decided to take this one day private-custom tour to Mt. Fuji area because we want it to be fully customize and hassle free trip, and turned out to be one of the best decision we ever made!
Our guide&driver, Mazda San, was very very very helpful, very corteus, knowledgable and we can feel his enthusiasm on every activities that we had, also that he's doing it sincerely to us.
He gave his best to accomodate all of our interests and needs in this tour to the level that surprised us, such as carried our shopping bags, made a last-minute booking to the Onsen, reccomended the best Hotto Noodle restaurant, and even helped us do the train seat booking on a JR Train Machine at the nearest station! - all to ensure that we got the best service in need, and yeessss we are truly had a fun & memorable trip!
Started with our request for shopping at Gotenba Outlet and lucky us, after that we could saw Mt. Fuji in a clear sky, visited Lake Kawaguchi and enjoy the best sceneries from the sight-seeing boat, went to Oishi Park and tasted the BEST grapes we ever had! - enjoyed a very pleasant traditional Onsen like we've always wanted, and had a very delicious Japanese dinner at Konami Restaurant ~ guided and drived by Mazda San, in a very clean Toyota Vellfire - all day!
We definitely will recommend this tour to everybody, it was worth every penny!
Thank you Mazda San, 5 ***** goes to you!
And also Thank you Taiji San for warmth hospitality by calling us prior to the booking time to make sure that all we need was captured in time!
All the best and more success in the nearest future for the team!
Sincerely,
Ruby & Yohani
