August 2026 was another extraordinary month for Japan Gray Line (JGL)! Thanks to our passionate guides, skilled drivers, and wonderful guests, our tours across TripAdvisor, Viator, and GetYourGuide earned nearly 100% 5-Star ratings!
Whether exploring iconic landmarks during the warm summer days, enjoying custom private itineraries, or taking advantage of layover tours, travelers from around the world shared heartwarming feedback about our team’s hospitality. Here is a comprehensive look at what our guests had to say this August across our Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Tokyo, Nikko, and Narita tours.
Our licensed English-speaking guides do far more than share facts—they create engaging, memorable experiences through personal touches, cultural storytelling, and thoughtful care from start to finish.
“Don’t miss Fuji by Grayline”
“The highlight of this day trip was our incredible tour guide, a bundle of high energy… She also made us do a little origami exercise to build Mt Fuji, reminding us of early school days… The final leg of the Bullet train back to Tokyo was so neatly coordinated, including how to change over to the Metro or Taxi. A great inspiration and role model whom all of us salute.”

“The best guide in Japan!!”
“Our guide was amazing—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese history and culture. I joined the tour with my French boyfriend, and we both had an incredible experience. Although I’m Japanese, I still discovered many fascinating aspects of my own culture that I had never known before. It was equally interesting for my boyfriend!”
