Planning

Historical Context

Fuji has been worshipped as a sacred mountain for over 1,000 years. During the Edo period, 'Fuji-ko' climbing cults became popular, leading to the establishment of the pilgrimage routes used today.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut glare on the lake
  • Telephoto lens compresses the distance for dramatic mountain shots
  • Golden hour (sunrise/sunset) offers the best dimension
  • Underexpose slightly to save the details in the snow cap

Insider Tips

  • Sit on the left side of the bus for outbound views
  • Buy 'Fuji-san' shaped cookies at the 5th station
  • Use the bathroom before leaving Tokyo as the drive is long
  • Bring a portable charger for all the photos

Our Partners

  • In official partnership with Viator, TripAdvisor, and select local operators to bring you the best inventory.

Fun Facts

  • Mt. Fuji is actually three volcanoes stacked on top of each other
  • Women were not allowed to climb the mountain until 1868
  • It is the most climbed mountain in the world
  • The summit is private property belonging to the Sengen Shrine

Magical Day Trip!

The private tour was absolutely worth it. Our guide Ken was knowledgeable and flexible. We got lucky with the weather and saw Fuji clearly from Lake Kawaguchi. The BBQ lunch was a highlight!

Efficient and Beautiful

Took the bus tour to 5th Station and Gotemba outlets. Long day but very well organized. The guide spoke good English and kept us on schedule. Highly recommended for first timers.

Stunning views but cold

We went in January and the visibility was perfect! Fuji was covered in snow. Just be warned it is much colder than Tokyo, so bring a heavy coat. The ice cave was slippery but cool.

Great value for money

Booked the classic day tour. The Chureito Pagoda climb was tough (400 steps!) but the view is exactly like the postcards. Bus was comfortable with WiFi.

Cloudy but fun

Unfortunately Fuji was hiding behind clouds, which we knew was a risk in September. However, the tour guide made up for it with great stories and a fun visit to Oshino Hakkai village.

Professional Service

The private driver was punctual and the car was immaculate. We customized our itinerary to visit the sake brewery and the ropeway. Perfect for our family of 4.

Winter Wonderland

February is the best time! We had crystal clear blue skies. The strawberry picking add-on was delicious. A long day of driving but comfortable.

Summer Crowds

Traffic was heavy getting back to Tokyo due to Obon holidays, but the tour itself was great. 5th Station was nice and cool compared to the city heat.
