Mount Fuji Private Customizable Tour with English-Speaking Driver
Description
Samurai Tours offers a comfortable and flexible private Mt. Fuji day tour from Tokyo, designed for groups, families, friends, and travelers who want a private experience. Unlike large bus tours, this tour gives your group more freedom, privacy, and time to enjoy each stop at your own pace. Only your group will travel in the van, and no other guests will join the tour. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver and pickup and drop-off within Tokyo. The itinerary may include Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, Arakurayama Sengen Park, Oshino Hakkai, Oishi Park, and Shiraito Falls. What makes this tour special is the flexibility. We can adjust the route depending on weather, traffic, seasonal conditions, and your interests. We also recommend an early morning start to avoid crowds and enjoy a smoother, more relaxed Mt. Fuji experience. Our aim is to provide a convenient, comfortable, and memorable private journey through the beautiful Mt. Fuji area.

Rana is amazing, he took great care of us. Our family had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!!
If you are looking for Private tour, I would highly recommend this tour. Their fees are reasonable and the driver is super helpful and informative.They will let you create your itinerary but I recommend you just go for whatever they suggest.
The best ramen I've ever tried in my life. Our guide recommend us a restaurant which was very popular among the locals and we were the only foriegners in the restaurant. The ramen soup was thick and delicious. I recommend this tour who love to have a nice time in Japan.
It was our first time in Japan so we didn't know much about the subway system of Tokyo. We booked this tour for a private experience. Our guide Kuzi made sure we will see the best of Fuji and Surroundings. He took us to Oshino Hakkai and Multiple beautiful stops around Fuji. Seeing Fuji in real life was a wonderful experience.
Our driver Kuzi recommended going to Fuji at 6am in the morning.As per his suggestion, we were able beat the rush hours and see Fuji because,on that day,it was visible only before noon.He provides you with information before the visit , so , we were able to prepare beforehand. Even for my next trip, I would definitely choose this Private tour.
Last week was my 70th birthday, and visting Fuji was the gift I gave to myself. I went there with my friend Ashley, who walks with a cane because she had problems with her feet.Our driver was very thoughtful,kind and patient.He even drove us to the end of the road, so that we wouldn't have to walk too much. He also took some beautiful pictures of us. I would definitely suggest this tour.
We had this tour last week. It was the best thing we tried in Japan. This tour met our expectations and the guide was informative. Our guide took us to the hidden photo stop to a lake around Fuji and it was truly amazing. He took us to have a lunch at a local restaurant which was popular among the locals. 100% Recommended.
Our guide was punctual and he spoke good English. He knows alot of information about every area we went to. We covered all famous spots around fuji. He also helped us to find best souvenirs around Japan. I highly appreciated his guidance.
