Kanagawa Prefecture Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We were able to get out to the countryside despite the rain and clouds with Mt Fuji hiding, but we had a great time seeing the sites including the shrine, oshina village, the lake and garden. We ate lunch at a very nice Japanese restaurant. Haan was very helpful and gave us good information about the sites. We would do this tour again to see things outside of Tokyo and hope for better weather.

This tour was exceptional. Our guide, Terry, was one of the best we have ever had. He tailored the trip to our needs and interests. He was happy to answer questions about anything at all. We could not be happier with our experience.

We had an amazing private tour to Mt Fuji and the surrounding areas with Live Nippon and our guide, Pradhan.Pradhan was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating, making sure we got to see some beautiful places and experience the area at a relaxed pace. He was also happy to answer all our questions and share interesting information.We would highly recommend Live Nippon

We loved the tour and all the places we visited. We had a rainy day and could not do some of the nature sites, but it was still fantastic. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Hitomi was a wonderful guide for us on the early morning Kamakura tour, as she expertly guided us through all of the transportation (which included buses and trains), is incredibly knowledgeable about the temples and shrines we visited, and has a fun and lively personality that we all enjoyed. She also provided lunch recommendations for us after the tour in Kamakura, as well as other restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay in Tokyo. I also really enjoyed the last two stops on the tour as those are a little different than the first two and I had not previously been to those sites when I had visited Japan the first time (30-plus years ago)!

Our tour was excellently planned and our guide was amazing!! Absolutely check traffic expectations. We only got to do two of the five spots we had on the plan and spent 6 hours in the car stuck in traffic. It was a national holiday. Had there not been traffic the tour would have been perfect but this was obviously not the tour operator or guide’s fault.

Well, you take your chances with Mt. Fuji..rain and cloud...never saw the mountain. Having said that, Mirza was an excellent guide and the day was still worthwhile, as we saw temples, gardens, lakes, museums ,etc.

Our tour guide, Hitomi, was very friendly and easy to connect with. I enjoyed the small group tour and was able to see beautiful temples and shrines, whilst listening to the history of each one through our knowledgeable guide. Excellent experience!

Great trip . Amazing experience with the best guide . Hana is so very knowledgeable and nice ! Totally recommend this tour !

Our guide Tia was fun, knowledgeable and flexible. This was one of my favorite tours in Japan. It was great to walk to so many beautiful sites. She did a great job communicating with us on questions we had before the tour.

Very comprehensive and enjoyable tour. Our driver Bajwa was very friendly, polite and professional. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. It was a very wet day but we still had an enjoyable time.

Max was a great tour guide. He communicated well, picked us up on time and got us to the sights ahead of the crowds. In addition to the fan favorites he showed us a relatively hidden gem that was a true surprise and one of the best memories we’ll have from the trip. He was fun and knowledgeable and helped make the day special.

Petteri met our train to do a trip to Mt Fugi and the surrounding areas, unfortunately too much cloud cover to see Mr Fugi, however we visited other areas of interest in lieu. Petteri was a fabulous guide and driver. We chatted the whole trip, he was a very friendly person.

Thanks David for a great tour and seeing as many sites as we did. The Kitaguchi shrine was the best we have seen and the boat tour on the lake Kawaguchi was very scenic. We missed Mt Fuji but still toned out nicely!

Driver/Guide was excellent and very informative. He guided us through out and ensured that we maximized the time
