Mount Fuji Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Excellent guide, focused to meet your interests-Accented, but very understandable English ”

We had a lovely, very long day with Tomoko. She set up a private itinerary for us that she worked very hard to create to assure meeting our needs & interests. Specifically, we visited Mt Fuji by express train in the morning and followed by a few night-time Tokyo activities. In addition to getting all the tickets (some required more than 2-weeks advance purchase) and making other arrangements, Tomoko did all the translations throughout the day at train stations, restaurants, etc. and got us where we wanted to go. I have mobility (walking) constraints, so that made things more challenging for her, especially at Mt Fuji, but she persevered and provided an excellent result despite heavy crowds. On Mt Fuji, it is pretty unusual to have an excellent viewing day. Mt Fuji is “shy” and often obscured my clouds. I think if it was rainy, foggy, or freezing, this would be a location to avoid and go to “plan B” instead. (Tomoko had one ready if it had been needed.) Weather conditions, of course, are not within any guide’s control but they could absolutely ruin a Mt Fiji visit. For our evening, we had a wonderful visit to a night-time, lantern-lit cherry blossom festival on Meguro canal. It was gorgeous! Then we experienced Shibuya crossing (not to be missed) and a nighttime overview of the city from Shibuya Sky observatory. It was a VERY long but wonderful day -so much variety! - thanks to Tomoko. I recommend her as a guide!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. It was such a pleasure spending the day with you. In this season seeing Mt Fuji is very difficult. Although the top was hidden by clouds, we could see Mt. Fuji. Lucky! I also loved our evening walk along the Meguro River and seeing the cherry blossoms lit up at night. The view from the Shibuya Sky was excellent. I will keep the photo you took forever. Thank you as well for your patience and positivity throughout the long day. It meant a lot to me, and I was glad I could support you in making the trip comfortable and enjoyable. I will always remember our day together. I hope you had a wonderful time in Japan, and I would love to see you again someday! Tomoko

“My Fuji views and Aokigahara Forest”

We enjoyed our day with Moto as our tour guide. He took us to great spots with beautiful views of Mr Fuji and knew where less crowded areas were. The walk through the forest was another highlight. We will definitely come back to actually hike Mt Fuji and plan on having Moto as our guide again !!!
