Asif was our driver and he was great. Lots of knowledge and showed us places to get photos away from the crowds. MT Fuji was a little cloudy but we ended up with some great shots later in the day. Highly recommend this tour.

We just completed a customized private tour of Mount Fuji and Hakone with Afi, and it was amazing! The private vehicle was comfortable, allowing us to enjoy the stunning scenery as Afi shared fascinating insights about the region. Our visit to Mount Fuji's 5th Station was unforgettable, with breathtaking views and plenty of time for photos. In Hakone, the cable car ride was a highlight, with Mount Fuji as a backdrop. Highly recommend it!

Linda the tour guide was amazing! She was informative, engaging and funny. We were very lucky to have a clear cloud day and see the mountain with no clouds blocking it but I don't know if the sites would have been as pretty had we not had a clear day, so just a warning don't expect to be able to see the mt clearly everyday. The tour itself was great though

We really enjoy this trip, we love the scenery. It's beautiful and amazing. We heard about those legends and stories from our tour girl Mizki. The bus clean and driver is polite. We definitely will be back. Special thanks to Mizky, she really arranged this trip very efficiently. Instructions clear, the story and legends she mentioned is cute.

My wife and I booked this tour hoping to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji, and the experience ended up delivering a whole lot more than just a snapshot for the album. The itinerary is a bit of a marathon, taking you from the Torii gates and downtown on Lake Ashi, volcanic scenery of the Hakone Ropeway and mineral water at Oshino but the pacing allowed us to actually soak it in rather than just rushing to the next checkpoint. The timeline is tight but that’s because there’s a lot to do. We were lucky enough to get pristine views of the mountain, and tasting the black eggs at Owakudani felt like the kind of unique cultural detour that makes a trip memorable. It was a chain of great experiences that flowed together well, and I would honestly sign up for a similar run again without hesitation though the traffic on the way back was a negative variable outside of anyone’s control. That said, the machinery of the tour only worked as well as it did because of our guide, Andrew Shen. Managing a bus full of tourists from different corners of the globe is usually like trying to herd cats, but Andrew kept everyone entertained with personal stories as well as local information and setting a schedule that felt efficient rather than oppressive. He really earned his stripes when we hit the aforementioned massive holiday traffic on the return leg to Tokyo,. Traffic which torpedoed a very expensive pre-paid dinner reservation we had that evening. Andrew stepped in to call the restaurant and smooth things over for us, having them move the reservation to another evening and saving the night when he could have easily just clocked out mentally. It is that level of care that separates a good guide from a great one and we are beyond lucky we were part of Andrew’s family for the day.
