富士山半日プライベート文化ツアー：新幹線ストップオーバー

We had the most amazing time with our guide, Noriko! We got lucky to see the outline of the top of Mt Fuji towards the start of our tour and she made a quick stop at a bridge over the river so we could be sure to get a photo, in case the cloud cover increased. From there we visited a beautiful lookout spot from a park above Fujinomiya (a neighboring city)! Then we visited the Fujinomiya Sengen Shrine and walked around the property, learning about the history of the building itself and the significance of its location! We saw lots of cute ducks and fish in the pond, and even drank from the fresh flowing water that dates back to snow fall from 20-30 years ago, that has now melted and made its way down the mountain…crazy, and SO refreshing! Then is was off to get some yakisoba, which we have been looking forward to for months, and it lived up to the hype! From there she took us to a sweet little gelato place that I believe was a chain out of Australia, so we tried Wombat Mochi on top of our yummy gelato (I got strawberry matcha and koala chip on top and my husband had a type of Oreo and tea flavored gelato with Melbourne coffee on top!) We ended our excursion with an unplanned detour to Hobbyon to get a couple of souvenirs for family back home, so we are so grateful for her knowledge of the area and for being so flexible with us!! We would certainly recommend this tour and may even do it again ourselves one day! -Ben and Brenna, Aug 2026

Noriko and Takumu were fantastic guides who weren’t not only knowledgeable but super friendly and kind. Coming from a hectic Tokyo adventure this tour provided peaceful views and beautiful culture. We truly would have missed out had we not of booked Fuji Soul Tours. The Fuji God even blessed us with a peek at the top in July!

Fuji Soul Tours was an incredible experience and easily one of the highlights of my trip. The tour felt thoughtful, personal, and well-paced from start to finish. Everything was organized smoothly, but it never felt rushed or overly touristy even through we did a few hour tour in between Osaka and Tokyo. Takumu and Noriko were knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the area, which made the experience feel much more meaningful than just checking off photo spots. Their communication is awesome as well. We got a cloudy day, but were able to get a slight view of Mt. Fuji. The stops gave a great mix of scenery, culture, and local character. I’d highly recommend Fuji Soul Tours to anyone looking for a memorable, easy, and more personal way to experience Mt. Fuji.

This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our entire Japan trip. The tour was perfectly planned and offered a wonderful mix of nature, culture, local food, and authentic experiences. From the breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Tanuki to the shrine visit, Fujinomiya yakisoba, sake tasting, and the wagashi and tea experience, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and added something special to the day. What truly made this tour exceptional, however, were Taku and Kio. They were incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing their region with us. They adapted the day seamlessly to the weather and conditions, making sure we had the best possible experience throughout. We never felt rushed, and their kindness and hospitality made us feel more like friends than guests. If you are looking for a memorable and authentic Mt. Fuji experience, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you, Taku and Kio, for an unforgettable day!

Even though the day ended up being overcast and rainy, we caught a glimpse of the impressive mountain and enjoyed every step of the tour - the lake, falls, lunch, the shrine and sake tasting. Taku and Noriko were the perfect guides, balancing local information with history as well as helping meet special needs such as a pharmacy and a specialty coffee shop.

Our Mt. Fuji tour with Takumu and Noriko was definitely a highlight of our trip to Japan. Most of the other tours I looked into were a 10+ hour day on a crowded bus. It was certainly worth the upgrade to book this private experience. My husband and I built the experience into our travel day from Osaka to Tokyo using the Shinkansen and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The tour itself was phenomenal. Takumu is a local to the area so he knew all the best hidden spots. There was not another tourist in site! Noriko was also a joy and so friendly. Lunch was some of the best spicy noodles we’ve ever had and the afternoon just flew by. We were also lucky to have perfect weather and a clear view of Mt. Fuji which also helped make the day extra special. Would highly recommend! Thank you Takumu and Noriko!

Taku and Kio were great guides around the Fuji area. They took us to a viewpoint to see Mount Fuji that avoided some cloud cover which was great. We enjoyed the lunch and other stops. Thank you!

Taku and Kio were great guides. We learned so much history, saw beautiful sights and got a closer look at key traditions in the Japanese culture like tea ceremonies. Although it rained, we were still able to visit the Sengen Shrine, the Fujinomiya yakisoba, the sake tasting at Fuji Takasago Brewery, and the green tea experience at Fuji Kobayashi-En. Highly recommend the experience!

Taku and Noriko are awesome people. They were very knowledgeable about any questions we asked. They were super sweet and easy to talk to. The tour took us to some unique spots that we probably wouldn’t have known about unless we were local to the area.

An absolutely unforgettable experience with Taku & Kio! 🇯🇵🗻 This was easily one of the highlights of our Japan trip. From the moment we met, they made us feel welcomed and gave us a genuine local experience that went far beyond the typical tourist stops. Seeing Mt. Fuji fully visible was incredible, but what truly made the day special was everything around it — the amazing locally sourced ice cream, the beautiful terrace views at the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, learning about the history and significance of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine, enjoying authentic Fujinomiya yakisoba, and finishing it all with locally brewed draft beer. Taku & Kio were knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, and made the entire day feel personal and memorable. You can tell they truly care about showing guests the real side of Japan. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan — especially if you want something authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable.
