Private Tokyo, Japan
Three of Japan's most remarkable destinations, on one private three-day tour from Tokyo. Day 1 takes you to the Mount Fuji region and its famous lakes and viewpoints. Day 2 takes you to Nagano and Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park, where wild Japanese macaques bathe in natural hot springs. Day 3 takes you to Nikko, with its UNESCO World Heritage shrines and temples, forests, lakes and waterfalls. It is our flagship Japan multi-day tour, and it brings together nature, wildlife and Japanese history in one organised itinerary.
Each of these destinations can fill a day on its own, but seeing all three in one trip gives a full picture of Japan outside the big cities. A private tour means your group has one vehicle, one schedule and one pace for all three days. You do not need to plan transport between the destinations or book three separate tours.
The tour suits couples, families and small groups of up to five people who want a well-organised introduction to the mountains, wildlife and heritage of central Japan.
Your first day starts with pickup from your hotel in Tokyo. The drive to the Mount Fuji region takes about two hours through Yamanashi Prefecture. The first stop is Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes. Next is Mount Fuji 5th Station, where the mountain scenery is often impressive. Access depends on road and weather conditions.
The day continues with Lake Yamanaka, the largest of the five lakes, and Oshino Hakkai, a traditional village famous for its eight spring ponds. The tour also includes Oishi Park and the thatched-roof village of Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba. The day ends with the return to your hotel in Tokyo.
Mount Fuji is often hidden by cloud. The stops are chosen for their viewing points, but clear views cannot be guaranteed.
Day 2 starts with pickup from your hotel in Tokyo. The journey to Nagano takes about 3.5 to 4 hours each way, depending on traffic, and the drive through the countryside is part of the day.
At Jigokudani Yaen-koen you walk a forest trail of about 60 minutes to reach the park. The path can be snowy and icy in winter, so bring warm, waterproof and non-slip footwear. At the park you can watch wild Japanese macaques in their natural hot springs. The park entrance fee is not included and is paid at the park.
Snow monkey sightings and bathing behaviour cannot be guaranteed. Your driver can arrange one optional stop, at Zenko-ji Temple, Shibu Onsen or Obuse, if time and traffic allow. This stop is not guaranteed. The day ends with the return drive to Tokyo.
On the third day your hotel pickup in Tokyo takes place at the start time. The private drive to Nikko takes about two hours and includes the scenic Irohazaka Winding Road.
You visit Shinkyo Bridge, then the UNESCO World Heritage shrine complex: Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple and Futarasan Shrine. Entry tickets for these three sites are not included. Lunch is at your own expense. The visit continues to Kegon Falls, where the upper viewing area is included, and to Lake Chuzenji, at the foot of Mount Nantai. The day ends with the private return drive to your drop-off point in Tokyo.
Every day runs in a private five-passenger vehicle for your group, either a Toyota Vellfire or Alphard, or a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. A three-passenger vehicle is not offered on this tour. Your driver collects you from your Tokyo hotel at the start time each morning, so please send your hotel name and full address when you book.
Entry tickets are not included on any of the three days.
Accommodation is not part of this tour, and we do not book hotel rooms. Please tell us where you will stay each night, so that we can plan each day's pickup with you ahead of time.

Suggested to depart at 5.30am to avoid traffic to catch clear view of Mt Fuji before covered by clouds. This was great. Had a good time and comfortable ride.
A lot easier and a faster way to see Mount Fuji. Meha delivered a great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend.
I had the most incredible experience with Sultan and Waqaz. He suggested we start our tour at 5am in order to beat Golden Week Traffic and for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. We managed to make it to all the main spots as well as a few incredible viewing places away from the crowds! An unforgettable experience seeing Mount Fuji in clear weather and sunshine, this definitely made my trip. Thank you so much for the amazing tour, I would highly recommend to anyone considering!
It was rainy but we had a nice time at the village and cherry blossoms at the Torii gate.
We loved the temple with the big trees. Our guide, Memalik, was awesome. He was flexible and very informative.
A great tour, especially for enjoying the sights at your leisure without a large group. Our guide, Ali, explained things to us and took lots of photos, but above all, he also gave us the freedom to explore the places on our own, which I personally really liked. If you plan your time well, you can see lots of beautiful places. Definitely recommended.
We really enjoyed our today's experience with the guide named Ali. Very good driving skills, flexible with stops and the schedule, very polite, and knowledgeable with the area and it's history. The huge plus is the car, very clean spacious, and very comfortable. We are highly recommending this trip. we saw lots of monkeys in the park (mid Aug 2026 time), and the template is worth every penny to see.
The trip was fabulous. Ali allowed us to totally dictate what we did and we loved the monkeys and the castle. Definitely recommend. A long day.
Comfortable vehicle, friendly flexible driver took us on side trip to Candy Alley at our request.
Overall we had such a wonderful time experiencing all the beautiful nature around Japan countryside and the spiritual temple. A special shout out to our driver Ali who went over and beyond for us. Thankyou so much for being so helpul and kind to us. Ali made our trip a very memorable one. Thanks heaps.
The Monkey park was fantastic, and the trip to the temple was just as interesting. Our tour guide, Ali, was very friendly and informative, would recommend!
Our guide Ali was very knowledgeable and courteous. We had a fabulous day and were lucky to see a huge number of very cute snow monkeys, which was the highlight of the tour. The visit to the beautiful temple was also amazing. Would highly recommend this tour.
