Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya and Shiraito watefalls

Mt. Fuji can be seen from Tokyo, but if you feel the real size and its atmosphere as well as the value, you should definitely visit this area. I am mainly guiding for the cruise ship passengers for shore excursion, but it is possible to pick you up at a JR station (Shizuoka and Shin-Fuji).

Fine view of Mt. Fuji from Shimizu port

Mt. Fuji is one of the national icons of Japan that most of foreign travelers adore. This tour is mainly focused on passengers of cruise ship docking in Shimizu port, but if you want to visit Shizuoka, it is worth visiting. I will guide you using my private car (TOYOTA Corolla Cross). All the cost is included in the tour price. If you want to see Mt. Fuji, never miss to visit Shimizu or Shizuoka.

Hakone

Hakone, enjoy the wonderful natural beauty and fine museums!

Hakone is one of the national parks of Japan, which is less than 100 miles away from Tokyo. So, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations for a lot of foreign travelers. Since it has been very popular among Japanese people, it has become much busier and more crowded than before. Yet, it is absolutely the king of resort place for a lot of travelers.

Hakone, enjoy the wonderful natural beauty and fine museums!

“Voyage au Mont Fuji (existe-t-il vraiment ? ;))”

Notre guide a préparé un parcours sur mesure avec moi la veille au soir et nous avons pu voir tous les spots que nous voulions. Dommage que la météo ne nous ai pas permis de voir le Mont Fuji, ce qui est le cas 4 jours sur 5... Sympatique et agréable, notre guide nous as permis de découvrir ces endroits magnifiques de la façon qui nous convenait.

“Es war ein schöner Tag, aber es wäre netter gewesen gleich ehrlich zu sein ”

Wir hatten eine Mount Fuji Fototour gebucht. Natürlich kann niemand das Wetter beeinflussen, aber Ehrlichkeit wäre wünschenswert gewesen - das hätte Zeit gespart. Denn schon am Morgen war klar, das wir den Mount nicht sehen werden. Dennoch hieß es, wir werden mal sehen wenn wir weiterfahren haben wir vielleicht Glück. Wir sind dann Stunden lang von Spot zu Spit gefahren, das war für alle Beteiligten unangenehm. Ehrlichkeit wäre besser gewesen, dann hätten wir die Tour nicht gemacht und Zeut gespart. Dennoch war er sehr nett, aber die Aussage im sommer sähe man den Mount nunmal nicht weil es zu warm ist, war wissentlich nicht korrekt. Das Ist vermutlich japanische Philosophie, aber ich mag Offenheit und Ehrlichkeit. Vier Tage später bei 36° habe ich den Mount gesehen.

Hi Jessica, Thank you for your review and let me say about the weather conditions around Mt. Fuji. It’s more difficult to see the mountain in summer than in winter, because the vapor from the ocean comes out in the air in the south side of the mountain but we sometimes see it on the north side, because it is cooler than the south side. I am not dishonest nor told you a lie. We rarely see it shortly in the cloud in the evening. I hope you would understand these occasions and hopefully come back to Shimizu in late autumn or in winter, when we have more chances to see the mountain clearly. Regards, Yasuhiro Mochizuki
