What To Expect
Lake Kawaguchiko
We start and end our tours just by Kawaguchiko Station, so joining us is super easy and stress-free! Pick-up is at Bus Stop #10, right in front of the Tourist Information Center. From there, we’ll take you on a short, scenic ride to our base camp, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Once we arrive, we’ll take a little time to get everything ready together — we’ll go over some simple driving instructions, check your International Driving Permits (IDP) and passports, and answer any questions you might have. You’ll also have the chance to put on fun accessories before the tour starts — a great way to get into the spirit of the adventure and capture some unforgettable photos! We’re here to make sure you feel comfortable, excited, and ready to enjoy a truly unique experience around beautiful Lake Kawaguchiko.
Lake Kawaguchiko
After going through the basic driving instructions, we hit the road in a mini EV and cruise around Lake Kawaguchi for approximately 2 hours, all while enjoying epic views of Mount Fuji, guided by a local expert. We will take you to the best scenic spots of the day where you will have plenty of time for photo opportunities. You will be driving a full-size, 100% Japanese Tomica mini car — super kawaii and totally unique!

5.00I did this experience last year and loved it. I came back again this year with family and it was just as amazing as I remembered it. Organising is a breeze and they are super flexible and accommodating. Stefan is so fun to talk to and Katia was an amazing tour guide. They pick you up, take you to the base, give you your induction and then your off and away driving. They select amazing locations to enjoy the view and take photos. They also take awesome photos and videos too. Would definitely recommend this experience for visiting mount fuji. It is genuinely worth it.
Five star fun!

5.00It’s a great way to see the lake and to see a local shrine. The cars are a fun way to get around. A mission to get to the town but so worth it!

5.00AMAZING First off the team are so nice, got to meet Stefan, Yasue Riley who were all delightful and amazing tour guides. Every scenic spot we went too was 10/10 and driving the Karts on the road was beyond amazing! This tour ticked off so many boxes in one go while also saving step count and we had plenty fun doing it! Special thank you to the team for searching for the missing sling Bag and went out their way to continue looking for it after hours They are the best and highly recommend it!
A MUST!!

5.00Honestly, the best thing I did during my three weeks in Japan! The drive was easy and low-pressure. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The views- once in a lifetime! The guides took great pics of us too. I can't recommend this enough!! A great hack too for getting the best views with none of the crazy queues and crowds.
Best way to see Fuji

5.00My only warning is to secure transportation to Fuji in advance- we tried to buy bus tickets day of and they were sold out, we were afraid the trains wouldn't get us there in time so we had to take a very expensive taxi. Less than 5 minutes into the tour we both agreed the cost of the taxi was 100% worth it. We got super lucky with a clear view and blooming cherry blossoms and this tour was an amazing way to experience it all. It was very easy to drive around the lake and for the majority of the drive you have gorgeous views of the water, fuji, and cherry blossoms. There was a marathon going on during our tour and it was so fun having the runners wave at us as we passed. They picked us up at the bus station and we got some fun history on the way to their base, where we were offered jacket, goggles, and gloves. We had the ability to pick our cars and got a personalized lesson on how to operate whichever one we picked and then we were off. I saw another review that mentioned the tour felt short- it was very fulfilling and not missing anything, but I agree that I could have easily spent a few more hours in that little car exploring. I booked this because I wasn't certain we'd see Fuji and I figured at least I could have fun if not, and we had so much fun- the view was just a great bonus!
