- DSDavid Singhabout provider4 Sep, 2025We had such a great time with Ryo! He was patient, offered several route options, and was always happy to adjust the pace for us. He even helped us find a cozy coffee shop and a local grocery store. Our family would be more than happy to hike with him again!!
- MKMichelle Kentabout provider3 Jul, 2025Ryohei guided our small group of three, including a teenager, and he was incredibly well-prepared and professional. He was knowledgeable, punctual, and very considerate of our dietary needs. The whole day was thoughtfully planned and full of fascinating stops around Kawaguchiko. We learned so much and had a truly wonderful experience. I’d definitely recommend him to friends and family.
- DDanielabout provider27 Jun, 2025Ryo was fantastic! He gave us a general plan for the day and then let us choose what else we wanted to explore. We ended up adding the Chureito Pagoda and later visited a traditional Japanese village museum he recommended. His advice was spot on — even down to the best photo spots — and his insights really helped us understand the local culture. Highly recommend taking a tour with him.
