Tour was good but rushed by tour guide. Personlization did not occur bec ause tour guide claimed seeing places like 5th station would take too long. However, back at hotel after 8 hrs 20 min on 9 hours tour. 4 star only because tour guide rightfully suggested to leave hotel at 6 AM instead of 7:30AM. Otherwise, only 3 stars because rushed tour without seeing all place as indicated in tour description.

Itinerary
Chureito Pagoda is a stunning five-story pagoda offering one of the most iconic views of Mt. Fuji. Located on a hillside above Fujiyoshida City, it’s famous for its breathtaking scenery—especially during cherry blossom season or autumn. A short climb of about 400 steps rewards you with a picture-perfect view of Mt. Fuji behind the pagoda and city below.
The shrine is part of Arakurayama Sengen Park, which offers panoramic views of Mount Fuji. Over 650 cherry trees bloom in mid-April, creating a picturesque scene with the five-story Chureito Pagoda and Mount Fuji in the background . The park also provides stunning vistas during autumn when the leaves change color.
Oshino Hakkai is a scenic village in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, known for its eight crystal-clear spring ponds fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers stunning views, traditional architecture, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular spot for tourists and pilgrims alike.
Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖) is one of the famous Fuji Five Lakes, formed thousands of years ago by Mount Fuji’s volcanic eruptions. Lava flows from Fuji’s earlier eruptions created natural dams, and water accumulated behind them — forming the lakes we see today.
Visit the famous Lawson convenience store near Kawaguchiko Station, one of Japan’s most viral photo locations. From here, you can capture a unique view of Mt. Fuji rising perfectly behind the iconic blue Lawson sign — a striking blend of modern Japan and natural beauty that has become a must-visit spot for travelers and photographers.

Located at the highest elevation among the lakes, Lake Yamanaka offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji throughout the year. Enjoy a peaceful stroll along the lakeside promenade, rent a swan boat, or simply relax and take in the calm waters and fresh mountain air. This area is perfect for photography, nature walks, seasonal flower viewing at Hananomiyako Park, and even hot spring visits with a view of Japan’s iconic mountain.

Qasim was great! He got us where we needed to go, customized our tour for our family and we really enjoyed seeing Mt. Fuji. I would highly recommend taking this tour and doing the speed boat ride they offered.
Our guide was Mirza. He had a warm and friendly personality and we got along well with him. He took us to places that were absolutely amazing which he knew from his experience. He was always right about where the best spots were and when and in what order to visit. He was also so helpful and patient. Mirza made it a memorable one day trip for us.
We were short on time and Rashid helped to prioritize our key to-do list on our day trip to the Mt Fuji area. The weather was not great, but he helped show us highlights of the area that would have been very difficult if we had tried to navigate the day by ourselves. Glad we had the day with him!
Usman was a fantastic guide with excellent English. He was very friendly and knowledgeable while being flexible with what we liked to see and do. I highly recommend him.
We had such a great day at Mount Fuji thanks to Usman! He was really kind, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We really enjoyed spending the day with him. Thanks again, Usman, for making it such a nice experience!
Our guide Mirza excluded many places in our itinerary. He was more interested in going home to his wife. He took short cuts. Even getting us out of our lunch time. To go back home. He cut our tour down to 6 hours. Missing even 5th station mt. Fuji. Worst guide ever. Sadly it was very cut short and i lost money on this premium price car tour.
I am Ria Riyati from United States. I was traveling solo on the “Mount Fuji Private Tour with English Guide – Fully Customizable,” and Shabeer from Raeez Tour was my guide and driver. I booked this tour based on Kevin’s recommendation, as he had taken the same tour last year and highly recommended Shabeer. I can honestly say that Shabeer was amazing! He is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and patient. He explained many interesting things along the way and made the entire experience enjoyable. During the tour, I visited Mount Fuji, Chureito Pagoda, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, Oshino Hakkai (a scenic village with crystal-clear spring ponds where I enjoyed feeding the fish), and Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba. There, I explored the reconstructed thatched-roof houses showcasing traditional crafts, history, and kimonos, while enjoying panoramic views of Mount Fuji. We also visited other beautiful spots along the way. I decided not to visit the cave because I have claustrophobia. Instead, Shabeer kindly adjusted the itinerary and took me to other interesting places. He even drove me along a musical road that plays a melody as you drive over it. What a fun and memorable experience! What a fantastic tour! I highly recommend this tour and Shabeer as your guide and driver. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating guide to make your Mount Fuji experience special, Shabeer is the person to book with!
It was great tour full of wonderful photo ops and we saw a lot in a short space of time . The guide was wonderful super knowledgeable and we were able to move the agenda around to our preference.
Hassan was a great driver and guide. We also had great weather to see Mount Fuji. He explained what we were seeing and gave us lots of great information. We would highly recommend this trip and Hassan.
I could not have been more pleased with this tour. Once the crazy Tokyo traffic was safely navigated, Rashid was extremely knowledgeable, very polite, and really just made me feel at home. Rashid gave me flexibility to do what I really wanted to see and gave me a great trip. I will DEFINITELY be requesting him through his company on my next trip back through Tokyo to see other places of interest. Oh and the van was impeccably clean and comfortable. Great company and host!
The guide and driver Rashid was wonderful, very accommodating, and full of local anecdotes. Mount Fuji was majestic. Sunny weather added to the overall experience.
Usman was a fantastic guide! He communicated with me the day prior with recommendations to depart early and I’m so glad we did. One of the few day Mount Fuji wasn’t shy and we had fabulous weather. Usman provided tips and served as photographer since I was solo. I can’t thank him enough for an amazing and memorable trip. If i make it back in the future I’d book with him again.
Very lucky to have a beautifully sunny and clear day to see Mt. Fuji! Perfect amount of time to stop at each viewpoint. Qasim was great driver!
It was amazing. Mirza showed out not only the principal attractions but also some amazing hidden gems
Trip to Mt Fuji was one of best days in Japan. Our tour guide Rashid did a wonderful job getting us around and was willing to extend the day so that we could visit all the stops we had planned. I'd recommend looking at possible stops and picking ones you want do as time is limited and not enough for all stops. Best stops were Pagoda, MT Fuji 5th station and wind caves.
Can’t recommend this tour enough! Usman was the ideal guide - his relaxed, engaging and flexible style to the day complemented the stunning scenery perfectly. We took his advice to leave slightly earlier than we’d initially intended, which I’d definitely suggest doing - some of the locations you visit clearly get busier as the day goes on so it’s worth getting up a bit earlier to avoid the crowds. All in all - stunning scenery, fantastic guide and a thoroughly enjoyable day!
A long day trip from Tokyo but well worth it. You don’t actually go on the mountain rather a number of stops to see sights and nice views of the mountains. Ice cave was a very short walk 5-10 minutes very cool but one area is pretty tight tunnel.
Rana was an excellent driver! We had a perfect day visiting Mount Fuji, where the views were breathtaking and the mountain appeared beautifully above the surrounding landscape, followed by a charming historic village and the cool, fascinating ice caves. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Rana drove smoothly and safely throughout the day, making the journey relaxing both ways.. He was also friendly, punctual, and helpful, giving us useful information while allowing us to enjoy each stop at our own pace. We finished with a wonderful lunch at a welcoming local restaurant. I highly recommend Rana and his company, and I’m already booking him again next week to see the autumn leaves north of Tokyo.
Communication required WhatsApp with assigned guide. With private van for Mt. Fuji, need to be timely especially when travel is far from intended destination. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and helpful. The fall colors and lower temperature were wonderful! The van was beautiful and van driver, Hassan, is highly recommended!!
This is a fully packed day filled with beautiful scenery and world renowned sites. It is fully customizable to meet your special interests or adapt to any physical limitations. Qasim was outstanding, full of great information about the sites, both historical and current. He was a lot of fun and a great photographer!! We really enjoyed our day seeing the beautiful countryside.
Tour guide was exceptionally accommodating
Our guide Mirza was very accommodating and friendly. He suggested we start out early and it made for a wonderful experience. We had clear views of Fujisan and avoided crowds.
We had a great experience on our Mount Fuji tour! Rashid explained everything clearly, gave us plenty of options, and shared interesting history about the area. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend him!
Amazing day! Comfortable car and a stress free day. Our tour guide Isman was so nice he really took care of us, personable and professional, showed us all the best places to eat and see along the way. Thanks for the experience 🙏 highly recommend
So, it was very nice day and great experience of first visit in Japan! First of all, thank our guide Mirza for communicating and cooperation, it helped us to avoid traffic and see mountain Fuji with very changeable weather, cause it was very important for us for this trip. Besides, he is very friendly, kind and nice guy). This trip is organised well, enough time to enjoy picturesque places, Japanese cuisine, nature and hospitality. Thank you very much, Origato!)
It was a wonderful day spent with Usman, who was so resourceful, gave us great recommendations on Fuji views and food spots. I had a pre-planned itinerary, which Usman suggested some changes to for minimizing crowds and he was spot on. He was patient, respectful and great with kids. Highly recommend this tour!
Awesome Service! The guide Shabeer was not only knowledgeable in the history of the sights, he was like a local in Mt Fuji area as he knows the best food and best photo spots. He also helps with us taking our family photos which I super appreciated. I didn't need my tripod anymore. The ride was very comfortable and clean. Tour guide and driver was very accommodating and helpful with my senior parents. We had a flexible schedule based on my own itinerary but you can consult with them recommendations if you are not familiar with Mt Fuji tour areas. Had an excellent experience! This is the 3rd time we booked this service and same operator.
Rana did a great job. We saw 6 placea and enjoyed the swans with a view of Mt Fuji at Lake Yamanakako! And a great local sushi spot.
What a memorable trip that was! Mirza, our guide, was great and flexible to how we wanted the tour to be customized.
Tour was amazing! We've got lucky and Fuji was visible. Our guide Ali comfortably delivered us to the most interesting and breathtaking view. It totally was worth it!
Our Fuji trip with Umar was truly a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, Umar made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but what stood out most was how genuinely friendly and thoughtful he was throughout the day. He shared so much about Fuji and the surrounding area, and his passion and knowledge made the trip feel much more meaningful than just a sightseeing tour. He was patient, attentive, and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We’re really glad we had Umar as our guide and would personally recommend him to anyone visiting Fuji. He made the day memorable for us, and we’re very grateful for the experience!
Fantastic trip to see Mr Fuji! Hassan made the trip enjoyable and accommodated my requests to what I wanted to see and do!
Great day at Mount Fuji with Hassan as our guide. He picked us up super early to avoid traffic on a Sunday. We saw lots, especially great views of Mount Fuji, and a lovely boat ride on beautiful Lake Kawaguchio. To finish our day, Hassan took us to an authentic Pakistani restaurant for a very tasty lunch. Our family of 4 adults and a 10 month old baby thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Mirza was our guide and he was wonderful. He was professional, helpful, and very knowledgeable. From pickup, sightseeing, to drop off he made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this tour with Mirza as your guide.
Great tour, Kasim was an awesome guide who was knowledgable about the different locations and helped with pictures/taking us to the best spots. 100% would do again!
Usman was EXCELLENT. He made this excursion one of the best the we experienced in Japan. He was on time, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and so friendly. He customized our trip. He taught us about the people, culture, and religion and even shared nuggets as we were driving there. The BEST PART WAS WE SAW THE TOP OF MT FUJI. The cliffs passed for about 10 minutes. The street food was delish too. Then we went to a Donki!!!! LOL I’ll be back and I will be doing toss excursion again. The description was spot on. Noting that the best time to leave was early in the morning. That was a great tip because we beat the rush of people. The weather was perfect and we got to see Mount Fuji. Dress comfortably because you will walk when you climb the steps to see the iconic gate and shrine. Again Usman made the trip epic.
Mirza was fabulous! Knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating. His van was immaculate. And he was funny too!
We had excellent guide, very conscious of his passengers, and very accommodating. We we’re very lucky to have seen Mount Fuigi on a clear day was very nice.
This was an enjoyable adventure with our driver and guide Qasim. The weather did not cooperate but we had a good time. We visited shrines, lakes and a lovely forest.
We had an absolutely wonderful day visiting Mt Fuji, Hakone and the Gotemba Premium Outlets, and our guide, Osama, was amazing! He picked us up early to help us avoid the crowds and traffic, which made the whole day so much more enjoyable. He was polite, friendly and extremely informative, and nothing was ever too much trouble. He always had a smile on his face, even went out of his way to buy us coffee, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire day. Osama went above and beyond to make our experience special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you, Osama, for such a memorable day. We wish you all the very best for the future! 😊 Janne – Australia 🇦🇺
Qassam was very helpful, friendly, and professional. he guided us very well, and made the trip easy and joyful. Also, he was very honest and generous with the information given to us. highly recommended to go with this trip and with Qassam in particular.
Great experience with Ahmed. Got to see Mount Fuji, Chureito Pagoda, Oishio Park, Lake Karawguchi, the Ice Caves and Sariko Village - fantastic trip covering everything we wanted to see on the agenda - highly recommend.
Amazing Guide! Knew the local spots with a great atmosphere and a great pace! Was extremely friendly and would 10 out of 10 recommend to any who needs a guide of Mt. Fuji!
Our guide was AMAZING - friendly and courteous. When we asked questions, he was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend our guide to anyone!
We had the most amazing experience visiting Mount Fuji, and Usman made the whole day so much less stressful! He was a fantastic guide, made everything run smoothly, and allowed us to really enjoy the experience without worrying about the logistics. The views were incredible, and the whole day was such a highlight of our trip to Japan. We couldn’t recommend Usman enough if you’re looking for a stress-free and memorable Mount Fuji experience. Thank you, Usman, for making it such a special day! 😊
Our Mt. Fuji tour with Umar was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, Umar was incredibly friendly, open, and welcoming. He really took the time to understand what we wanted and made sure the entire experience felt personal and special. He was super flexible and genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. Booking this tour was hands down the best decision we made during our stay in Tokyo! We got to see beautiful places, had such a wonderful time, and made memories that we will cherish for years to come. We would book this tour with Umar again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend him enough!
It was very good. Nice trip. Driver was very good. He gave us some good information and helped us make a great trip.
We had an amazing day out all thanks to our amazing guide Shoaib! He recommended that we set off earlier than we had originally planned and we’re super glad we listened to his advice. His knowledge of the area, thoughtful recommendations, and excellent planning meant we were able to visit the sights while avoiding most of the traffic and crowds, despite it being a weekend. It made such a difference to our experience and allowed us to really enjoy each stop without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. We were incredibly lucky to have clear views of Mount Fuji throughout the entire day and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We came away with so many fantastic pictures and wonderful memories that we’ll treasure for a long time. Shoaib was attentive, helpful, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had the best possible experience. His guidance and local knowledge really helped make the day run smoothly from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan, especially if you hope to see the beautiful sights around Mount Fuji without the stress of navigating everything yourself. Thank you again to Shoaib for taking such great care of us and making this one of the highlights of our Japan trip! We couldn’t have asked for a better day.
Qasim was our guide, everything was perfect. Thank you!
