About this tour

Experience the natural beauty of Japan's most famous mountain on a private day trip from Tokyo. You travel in a private vehicle with your English-speaking guide and visit the lakes, traditional villages and viewpoints of the Fuji Five Lakes region.

Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Tokyo. The drive to the Mount Fuji area takes about two hours through Yamanashi Prefecture, where the mountain can be seen along the way.

The route can be adjusted to your interests and available time. Your guide can help plan the order of stops, and optional sightseeing can be added where time and conditions allow. This private Mount Fuji day trip from Tokyo also takes in the Fuji Five Lakes and Oshino Hakkai, with your own vehicle and guide.

If you are also considering Nagano, our Snow Monkey Park day trip covers the wild macaques at Jigokudani: https://highskytraveltourism.online/tours/tokyo-snow-monkey-park-nagano-day-trip

I had the most incredible experience with Sultan and Waqaz

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!

Trip was awesome! We saw the mountain from different points, visited forest, and got unforgettable experience! Planning is flexible, so it is possible to choose landmarks for visit by own choice. Haider (guide) was nice and helped us with planning. His recommendations were useful and meaningful. Car is clean. In addition, Haider offered us snacks and beverages.

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.
