Private Mt. Fuji day trip from Tokyo with an English speaking guide, hotel pickup, shrine views, lakeside scenery, and optional add-ons.
“The itinerary posted by Viator did not match the experience. Primarily it is unrealistic . Itinerary lists 10 stops which is not doable within the time frame. We chose not to visit Chureito Pagoda. There was no further discussion regarding itinerary and what we wanted to see. We made 3 stops. One to a cheesy boat ride at Lake Kawaguchiko which guide advised us to take and was very expensive. The guide was a driver nothing more. Also seemed rushed from the start and not interested. Sent us links to read about the stops. We read and researched places prior to the trip. As it is our custom we gave…”

“Our trip was great! Our driver worked with us to get picked up as our cruise ship came into a weird port. And took us to our hotel after our adventure. He was very knowledgeable answering all of our questions about our stops as well as about Japanese culture. He even helped us find a place for lunch that was English friendly. The van was spacious. We had our luggage with us but if we didn’t there was a third row if you wanted to bring more people. All in all this was a great experience and I would recommend the service to anyone.”
