Unforgettable views of Mt Fuji
Gus P,May 11, 2026

5.00Mt Fuji was a must see in our Japan trip. We failed to see it going to the Hakone area on our own due to clouds obstructing it, despite the sunny weather. We had to scramble our itinerary to give it a shot a second time another day. Getting a private guide made more sense than joining a group tour because they can adjust the itinerary to the conditions. Once again we had sunny skies leaving Tokyo, but by the time we got to our first stop, Fuji once again was behind the clouds. Our guide, Ali, was fantastic and drove us around to various viewing points until we finally got to the spectacular and completely clear views of Mt Fuji that we were hoping for. We were even able to have lunch at a nice restaurant of our choice. It was the best decision we could have made, and would recommend to anyone.
Incredible Mt Fuji Experience

5.00We made a decision to go on this private tour experience in the last moment. It was the best decision we could have made. Seeing Mt Fuji was important to us. We failed to see it the previous day on our own from Hakone. We decided we needed professional help and flexibility to change itinerary to deal with Mt Fuji’s temperamental weather. Going with a private tour guide delivered both of them. Our guide Ali was fantastic. He accommodated our lunch choice, the time spent at each stop as we liked, and indicated good souvenirs and photo spots. It could not have been better. An unforgettable experience, which I highly recommend.
Very nice!

5.00Booked a Mt Fuji tour with Alex in early April our trip was 5/3/26 and it was phenomenal. Easy to talk to. Gave us plenty of options as far as customizing what we would see for how long we would see it. All completely up to us “ my wife and I “ we went during golden week so traffic was more heavy than usual but his driving was great. Best part of the tour was the Mount Fuji view from the lake. We pulled in it was breath taking! Alex recommended getting on a speed boat out for better view and it was AMAZING. Best thing about the trip after that we went to the Uninesco world heritage site Oahu no-Hakka and it was fantastic. The koi ponds and water mills were fantastic! 100% recommend.
We got to see Mt Fuji!!!!!

5.00So happy we chose a private car. We could decide how long we wanted to stay in places. John the driver was a great driver and spoke English very well. His sidekick for the day was David who was super nice and helpful.
A great Mt. Fuji trip

5.00Thankful to have John as our driver and storyteller! His attentiveness and fun personality made our trip to the Mt. Fuji and back to Tokyo entertaining. We shared that we’d like to see the waterfalls and he delivered! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends visiting Japan.
Great time!

5.00My wife and I enjoyed Mt Fuji, the waterfalls, the old village shopping and were to have done the ice caves. John was a lot of fun and an expert driver. My personal highlight was the waterfalls…. Amazing, beautiful place.
