This tour covers key sites of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings with beauty and wonders of nature. I will also cover the cultural aspect of this World Heritage Site. I will meet you at your hotel and will escort you back to your hotel. As I designed this tour, I focused on full coverage of key sites of Mt. Fuji in regards to geography, culture and history, plus time and budget efficiency utilizing a coach (bus) transport from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area. Your safety/satisfaction will be my #1 key.
Itinerary

Meeting Point
At your hotel
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. Fui". The best solution, I believe, would be the combination of an economical coach bus for the long distance travel "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and "a hired car or van around Mt. Fuji area". The one-way coach fee is Yen 2,200 (US$15) and the basic hourly hired car/van fee is Yen 7,020 (US$50). You will need just about 4 hours for the tour around 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.
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
Back to your hotel in Tokyo

“Outstanding Guide”
My wife and I toured four days with Tom. I highly recommend him as your private tour guide. He customized each day to our priorities and was knowledgeable about each site visited. He was thoughtful and communicated effectively both in planning and while on tours. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. Definitely exceeded our expectations.

Stephen and Sherri from Tom, I really appreciate the wonderful time you so kindly allowed me to spend with you. I also thank GoWithGuide for presenting me with such a wonderful opportunity. While it was an important work for me, it has turned out to be more like a quality time I truly enjoy being with such nice people. I feel that I truly enjoyed working for you during those 4 days. If my service was good, it’s a pure reflection of how nice of people you are. Meeting with nice people is the greatest joy in doing the tour guide. I want to thank you once again for making me happy. I will think about you a lot and I hope we will meet again!! Sincerely, Tsutomu “Tom” Harada

“Great guide makes for a great day”
Due to an injury to our original guide, Tsutomu (Tom) was his replacement and what a replacement, excellent in every aspect. Communication, English, knowledge, pace of tour, notably the transport system were superb.
Tsutomu H.
I do appreciate your kindness that comes from warm heart. Initially the day had started as “work” but shortly after, I found myself truly enjoying the day. The greatest joy of a tour guide is meeting with nice people and you made my day. If my service was good, it is totally because of your character and considerations. I thank you once again for being with my guests, which has become my unforgettable memory. With all my very best. Tom

Full Day Tokyo/Yokohama Tour (10 Hours)
Basic concept of this tour is to cover the key sites of Tokyo and Yokohama China Town. You will see both the old and new faces of Metropolitan Tokyo together with exotic Yokohama China Town.This tour is based on public transportation, so it will involve some walkings but I will adjust the amount of walking depending on your condition and feelings. Regardless of the season, I will include the seasonal beauty of Japan for your fullest satisfaction.

Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #2 (8 Hours)
Hi I am Tsutomu. This is my #2 Full Day Tokyo Key Sites. This compliments my Plan#1 and of course, you could mix #1 and #2 if you wish. 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 Tokyo Key Sites #3 (8 Hours)
This tour has been designed for the guests who have already experienced my Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #1 and #2, and/or for those who are interested in some unique sites that are not covered by my Tokyo Key Sites #1 and #2. 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.

Feel Great Nature of Mt.Fuji & Mystical Forest Aokigahara
The Fuji Five Lakes and the Aokigahara Forest are fascinating natural wonders created by Mt.Fuji. They remain untouched nature sceneries. They are on the north side of the mountain, in Nation Park of Japan, and are only 2 hours away from Tokyo. It is the ideal place to purify mind and body in the tranquility of nature. We can also arrange other sight seeing spots including Arakurayama Sengen Shrine, Ashikawa Village, Ide Sake Brewery.. etc up to your requests.

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.

Hiking for the view of Mt Fuji and Aokigahara forest
Would you like to hike the mountain that has a good view of Mt Fuji? After walking the trail on the mountain, you see lake Saiko in Aokigahara forests, the sea of trees form the above. And you know the reason why it is called the sea of trees. I recommend the tour for nature lovers and people like hiking.
