In this tour, we will visit two of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots.
My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way.

“Tokyo with a Private Guide using the Subway.”
We had a very interesting day with Hideaki M. visiting a number of places in Tokyo by subway which we would never have got to on our own. He did a great job; setting a pace suitable for Senior Citizens who were very tired, having just disembarked from our ship! Tokyo Government Building Observation Room was a great stop where we enjoyed panoramic views and even got to see Mt. Fuji in all its glory. The visit to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden National Park was very special with many of the Cherry trees still in flower giving some beautiful displays of blossoms and so many other spectacular trees and a finally a visit to the traditional Japanese garden. We stopped for lunch where we had to cook our own food on a hot plate at the table which was a great experience as we have never done that before. The food was really very good, reasonably priced and very tasty! Then it was off to Shibuya Scramble Crossing to enjoy the atmosphere of crossing with many, many people in all directions. By then these Seniors were ready for home so we took our last subway ride for the day and were delivered back to our hotel. Hideaki thank you for your assistance with our shopping along the way and especially helping with collecting our pre-purchased train tickets for our upcoming journey: it was much appreciated. It was a great experience all round, so thank you.

“Wonderful and efficient!”
I loved the tour around tokyo and wished I had more days to explore. My guide Hideaki , was knowledgeable, friendly and explained in detail the various attractions we visited. It was a very pleasant day and was lucky to get a view of the mount fuji from the observation deck. Loved the stroll along the quiet backstreets of tokyo. Absolutely loved the excellent display of various foods at a farmers market especially ,the sushi. I really enjoyed the tour and Thank you Hideaki for your company.

After that, a mountain train that runs through valleys, a ropeway that allows you to view beautiful Mr. Fuji on a sunny day and cruising at Lake Ashi. Owakudani is the place where you can see the real volcanic activity. My favorite part of this tour is Lake Ashi where You can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with the lake.

Naritasan Shinshoji temple before your flight
If you have more than 4 hours before your flight at Narita airport, you should visit Naritasan Shinshoji temple, and experience Japanese culture. It's a time-honored temple with a history of over 1000 years. In my opinion, it's the best temple in Tokyo region with great traditional buildings, beautiful Japanese gardens and Japanese food. Here, I can tell almost everything about Japanese couture and traditions to you. I can make your layover time in Japan more enjoyable and fruitful !!

Private Mt.Fuji -one day trip from Tokyo with Kaori
Private Mt.Fuji only for your group, starts/ends at Tokyo. Basic plan takes Express Train from Shinjuku to Kawaguchi-ko (one of the Fuji 5 Lakes). Transportation options are available upon your preferences. *Make an inquiry one month prior for train booking. Car Option is recommended as public transportation at the destination is not good. If with public transportation, we might need to take a taxi occasionally to escape from too packed local buses. I'll support you to move smoothly.

Private Day Tour to Lake Kawaguchi – Scenic Highlights & Iconic Mt. Fuji Views (Weather Permitting)
Lake Kawaguchi is the most popular place to view Mt. Fuji. I will take you to Arakurayama Park, which is the most popular place to take the picture of Mt. Fuji with the Pagoda. We will take a direct express train from Shinjuku in Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi to avoid the traffic jam by a highway bus. The possibility of viewing Mt. Fuji is shown in the photo.
