Private Tokyo, Japan
Two very different sides of Japan on one private two-day tour from Tokyo. The first day takes you through the scenery of the Mount Fuji region, one of Japan's most recognisable natural landmarks. The second day takes you north to Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage area known for its shrines, temples, cedar forests, waterfalls and mountain lakes. Together the two days show how Japan's natural beauty and its cultural heritage fit together.
Mount Fuji and Nikko are both easy to reach from Tokyo, but they are in different directions and take most of a day to explore on their own. Combining them into one private tour means your group travels with one vehicle and one guide, and the schedule is set for you. It suits travellers who want to see the highlights without planning two separate trips.
This tour is designed for couples, families and small groups of up to five people. Each day uses a private five-passenger vehicle and a private English-speaking guide.
Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Tokyo. The drive to the Mount Fuji region takes about two hours through Yamanashi Prefecture, with mountain views along the way.
The first stop is Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, for photographs and lakeside views. You then visit Mount Fuji 5th Station, where the mountain scenery is often spectacular. Access depends on road and weather conditions. Lake Yamanaka, the largest of the five lakes, is next, followed by Oshino Hakkai, a traditional village famous for its eight spring ponds fed by water filtered through volcanic rock. The day also includes Oishi Park, with its views of the mountain, and the thatched-roof village of Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba.
Mount Fuji is often covered by cloud. The stops are chosen for good viewing points, but clear views cannot be guaranteed. The day ends with the return to Tokyo.
The second day begins with pickup in Tokyo. The private drive to Nikko takes about two hours and includes the scenic Irohazaka Winding Road, with its series of mountain hairpin turns.
The first stop is Shinkyo Bridge, one of Japan's best-known historic bridges. It is a striking red arched bridge, and your guide will explain its cultural meaning. Next is the UNESCO World Heritage shrine complex. Nikko Toshogu Shrine is decorated with fine carvings and gold details, and it is home to the famous Three Wise Monkeys and the Yomeimon Gate. Rinnoji Temple and Futarasan Shrine are also part of the visit. Entry tickets for these three sites are not included in this tour.
After a break for lunch at your own expense, you visit Kegon Falls, one of Japan's three great waterfalls. Entry to the viewing area is not included. The optional elevator to the lower viewing platform is paid on site. Lake Chuzenji, at the foot of Mount Nantai, is the next stop, with time for a break and photographs. The return drive to your drop-off point in Tokyo takes about two hours.
Nikko can be much cooler than Tokyo, even in summer, so bring a light jacket. The order of visits may change because of traffic, weather or local conditions.
Both days use 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 for this tour. Pickup is from your Tokyo hotel on both days, so give us your hotel name and full address when you book.
Entry tickets are not included.

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.
