Breathtaking Fuji: Private Car Tour to Hakone or Kawaguchiko

Tadashi-san was an exellent and our driver Watanabe-san was also excellent and they suggested slternative sites when the weather was not cooperating to see Mount Fuji. Tadashi -san was very informative about Japanese culture and the place he suggested for lunch was excellent as was the ice cream at the dairy farm.

Our private tour of Mount Fuji was unforgettable and truly special. Our guide Tomomi went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the day. Because of her local experience, we were able to avoid most traffic and crowds and truly experience Mount Fuji in such a wonderfully personal way. What made this tour stand out was the guide’s genuine kindness—to ensure our comfort, and make this experience very memorable. They took us to many beautiful viewpoints and mostly away from the crowds to hidden gems. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memory of a lifetime.

Amazingly informative and pleasant tour and day! We had the best day with our guide, Yuko, and driver, Tak. This was our first trip to Japan so we have been on many tours so far and Yuko was one of our favorite guides. She was very kind, accommodating and full of information and interesting things we never would have learned any other way! She and Tak took special care of our kids and made sure they were entertained and learned some Japanese language and facts about Mt. Fuji. Even though it was foggy, we still had a great day and did some other unique activities like picking grapes and tasting wine. We all had a wonderful time and are so lucky we were paired with such an awesome guide and driver.

Our private car tour to Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko with Masae (guide) and Toshi (driver) was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, Masae’s communication stood out—she carefully tailored the itinerary around our interests and even factored in the unique timing of the Fire Festival on the day of our visit. Her message to us set the tone for the entire day: thoughtful, flexible, and focused on making sure we experienced the very best. On the day itself, Masae’s guidance and Toshi’s expert driving made the trip seamless and stress-free. Masae’s knowledge of the region, combined with her warm and accommodating approach, allowed us to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. She adjusted plans as needed based on the weather and traffic, ensuring that we could make the most of every moment. Toshi was a wonderful driver—safe, reliable, and always ready to get us comfortably from one highlight to the next. Together, they made a fantastic team, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the journey. If you’re looking for a memorable and personalised experience to Mt. Fuji, we highly recommend booking with Masae and Toshi. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.

Tak was the best This was a good way to enjoy exploring It was a good time. The surrounding areas weeds fun to visit. One of the best tours

Our private tour to Mt.Fuji was excellent. Both our guide Noriko and our driver Toshi were terrific. They made the tour both fun and educational. Our entire family loved it.

Kaz is an amazing tour guide. He is full of knowledge about Japan and so kind and caring. We enjoyed spending the day with him and the driver was also amazing and accommodating. We are so lucky to have them as our guides for the day.

This was a fabulous tour even with Mt Fuji covered in clouds. Hiroko was such a lovely, informative, and happy guide. She gave us a really great info session on Japan’s history with maps and visual aids on the way to our destination that made the whole experience more meaningful. She and our driver were so fun and helpful finding extra things to do while it was raining and because My Fuji was obscured. Because our driver was familiar with the area he was able to recommend a wonderful traditional steak house for lunch where we had sumptuous Kobe steak and wine. Hiroko helped me book Shinkansen tickets and stayed in touch with us over the following days recommending other things to do. She even took pictures and sent me a detailed itinerary of our trip so I could organize everything afterwards. Wonderful day!

Yuko and Toshi looked after us on an amazing day. Both guide and driver are super friendly, engaging and keen for us to have a great experience. Despite the weather, we still managed to great great views of the allusive Mt Fuji. Highly recommend

Our guides Yoshi and Toshi were excellent. Yoshi reached out the night before to check our pickup address and they were early at our door to start the tour in the morning. We learned a great deal about Japanese history as well as the history of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area. Toshi showed us many interesting landmarks and one of the area lakes where we saw baby Mt. Fuji. The lunch spot we went to was amazing with great service and huge portions. The tour offered many choices for customizing the tour. However, when I gave my choices I was told it could not be done within the time limit for the tour. Even with the high price of the tour, I was told to pay more if it ran overtime. It was only because of the excellent service and enthusiasm of Yoshi and Toshi that I felt I received my moneys worth. I am so glad we saw the important sites on my list. We did not get to see Mt. Fuji as the weather gods were not in our favour but the tour was well worth it.
