Meeting Point
At your hotel
- I will meet you at the hotel you will be staying.
Pick you up at your hotel in Tokyo and escort you to Shinjuku bus terminal from where we depart for Mt. Fuji area
The key issue for this tour is transportation "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and also "around Mt. Fuji". The best solution, I believe, would be hiring a private vehicle with a driver for the whole tour if you consider the efficency of time and cost. For that, you could make a reservation through GoWithGuide Customer Support as below;
It will guarantee your comfortable and efficient tour of Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center - Admission free
This is your first visit of the day for a quick preview of the tour. With free admission, you will learn the overall feature of Mt. Fuji with its natural, cultural and historical characteristics.
Arakura Sengen Shrine - Admission free
One of the most famous Instagram Photo Spots in Mt. Fuji sites. I will walk you through the famous Shinto Shrine with the stunning view of Mt. Fuji, weather permitting.
Tsuji-ya Restaurant - you will pay your lunch expense
One of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in the area with quality local food. The owner and the restaurant team will host you with their warmest hospitality and variety of authentic Japanese food.
Oishi Park
Right in front of the beautiful Lake Kawaguchi is the OISHI PARK which is famous for its beautiful flower park and stunning lake view. Given the right weather, you can add a series of memorable pictures of you, Mt. Fuji and the beautiful lake in front of it.
8 Ponds of Oshino (Oshino Hakkai)
Witness the wonder of water around Mt. Fuji. You will be amazed by the clarity and wonder of the water in those ponds - the water is the result of wonderous dynamic of nature around Mt. Fuji. The water you see in those ponds is the mater which is the result of the melting snow from 20 years ago. The snow that accumulated onto the mountain 20 years ago has melted and has been absorbed into the cave, soil and rocks of the mountain and resrufaced and sprang to those ponds - really amazaing dymatic of natural water circulation.
Depart from Mt. Fuji area for Tokyo
Ride on the coach bus back to Tokyo and then I will escort you back to your hotel

Tsutomu H.
To Susan and Michael from Tsutomu (Tom), I truly appreciate the quality time both of you so kindly allowed me to spend with you. I have learned a lot from you as I fortunately had the opportunity of guiding you for 5 consecutive days. I feel I am a different person now after exchanging such humane and spiritual thoughts and conversations. Thank you for creating a special place in my heart. I will cherish the conversations we have had and look forward to fondly reviewing those within me for the coming days. By the way, keep hitting it far and straight right in the middle of the fairways (^^) Your friend, Tom

“Super day !”
Tom was wonderful- after our initial introduction he was quickly able to establish exactly what we wanted/needed to really enhance our trip to Japan. He tailored his plan to suit us and made sure we got the most out of the day we spent with him. We really enjoyed his expert knowledge and recommendations for later on in our trip. A warm and generous man- we would recommend Tom San very highly.

Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #2 (8 Hours)

Both are my standard plans and my objective is to give you the best part of Tokyo in 8 hours.. I customize the tour especially for you. Tokyo has so many sites that would appeal to your intellectual interest, so feel free to let me know if you have any other places you wish to see. I will accommodate.

Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"

Full Day Kamakura Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In the eastern Japan, Kamakura is one of the best (if not THE BEST) places to witness the deapths of Japanese history. While Kyoto is a capital established by aristocrats, Kamakura is a capital built and nurtured by samurai worrior class. Its culture is simple and dynamic. My guiding point is History, Culture, Natural Beauty and Zen spirit, not to mention authentic Japanese food of your preference (or choice in any ways)!! I would like you to see the unique historical sites of over 800 years.

If you need to use a wheel chair, I would be more than happy to modify my tour. If you prefer, you can book a private car or mini van for easier logistics and mobility.

[May-November] Mt.Fuji 5th station, a short hike of Ochudo & Okuniwa
The Ochudo, also known as Middle Road, was a special trail for ascetic practitioners that circled Mt.Fuji at the level of the fifth station. The trail is adorned by beautiful flora such as Japanese larch, Rhododendron, and Lingonberry and offers a majestic view of Mt.Fuji. The trail continues to Okuniwa, as Inner Garden which used to be a lateral crater. As it is named, pine trees and volcanic rocks create artistic landscapes by all nature.
