In this tour, we will visit three 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.
At your hotel in Tokyo
Meet at your Hotel and move to Shinjuku by Subway.
The best Mt. Fuji viewing spot. You can take a picture of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda.
Please be noted that we have to climb up 398-steps stair.
Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. At the height of 1,075 meters, you can see a panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi.
Or enjoy Cruising at Lake Kawaguchi for about 20 minutes.
It’s a set of eight ponds with very pure snow melt water. You can take a picture of Mt.Fuji with traditional Japanese houses.
The above is the basic itinerary.
As my tour is so flexible, we can change our destinations to the following places when we can’t see Mt. Fuji due to a bad weather.
- Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum. You can enjoy several kinds of mini concerts.
- Ichiku Kubota Art Museum. You can appreciate a beautiful Kimono and Japanese garden.
- Fuji-Q Highland. An amusement park with many kinds of roller coasters.
- Oshino Ninja Village

“Day trip Hakone ”
It was a miserable day, cloudy and rainy. We took a private tour with Hideaki. He is so kind, speaks very good English, and is incredibly smart. The tour was jaded by the weather but we were able to complete the loop and Hideaki was not just a good tour guide, but a thoughtful, kind, and conscientious one. Thank you!

(47 reviews)Marion-san, Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji. But Hakone has another good activity, that is a hot spring (onsen). Enjoy it and be relaxed. Best Regards, Hideaki Murayama
“Wonderful day in Tokyo”
We have had a great day with Hideaki. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he is very pleasant company. He composed a tour for us a few weeks ago but because the sakura was not in full bloom yet in the intended location we visited Ueno Park instead, in which the blooming was a little better. Thank you very much for a lovely day! Suzy and Andy

“Fantastic Tokyo ”
Had a great day out with Hideaki everything was organised from hotel pick up drop off. Prices were excellent and well negotiated they included bullet trains cable car mini train boat ride around mt Fuji lake, and bus rides. We stopped for local lunch it was lovely then time at gift store. I love the fact the Hideaki had done excellent research and our day was planned exactly how we wanted and agreed upon. Prices were very reasonable as well. Excellent job Hideaki you made us feel safe comfortable and we had a fantastic day
