Real experiences from real travelers
Our guide Kenji was phenomenal! He knew exactly where to go to avoid the crowds and get the perfect shot of Mt. Fuji. The private van was comfortable and made getting around so much easier than the bus.
Traveling with elderly parents and young kids is hard, but this private tour made it a breeze. We could go at our own pace and the driver was very patient. Highly recommended!
We had a cloudy start, but our guide rearranged the itinerary to visit the museum first, and by afternoon we had clear views. A bit pricey but worth it for the flexibility.
I thought I knew the area, but our local guide showed us a stunning shrine and a noodle shop that weren't on any map. Authentic experience.
From pickup to drop-off, everything was seamless. The guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history of the samurai and the mountain.
Even as a Japanese local, I learned new things. The driving was safe and the car was spotless. A great way to show my foreign guests around.
The maple corridor was stunning. Our driver knew a shortcut to avoid the traffic jam which saved us an hour. Just wish the tour was slightly longer.
We got lucky with a crystal clear day. The view from Oishi Park was breathtaking. The Hoto noodles for lunch were delicious and warming.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Visibility depends heavily on weather. Winter (Dec-Feb) offers the highest chance of clear views, while summer can be hazy. Guides will try to adjust the schedule to maximize viewing chances.
The most convenient options are the Fuji Excursion Limited Express train from Shinjuku or the Highway Bus from Shinjuku/Tokyo Station. Both take about 2 hours.
Yes, most private tours are fully customizable. You can discuss your interests with your guide to prioritize nature, culture, or photography.
Typically, admission fees to attractions like museums or the ropeway are not included and must be paid on-site, but check specific tour details.
Yes, most private tours offer pickup from hotels within the Fujikawaguchiko area. Some premium options may offer Tokyo pickup.
Tours usually proceed in rain or shine. Guides will suggest indoor alternatives like the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum or craft workshops if views are obscured.
Absolutely. Private tours are the best option for families as you can move at your own pace and avoid crowded public transport.
We highly recommend trying 'Hoto Noodles', a local specialty of flat noodles in miso broth with pumpkin and vegetables.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for cherry blossom season (April) and autumn (November), as top guides sell out quickly.
