Worth the drive - A clear day is your number one hope but the scenery and experience would be fun without. Jiro was a great guide - dependable and adaptable. He contacted us in advance about exactly what we wanted to do, and then we adjusted along the way as needed. If you get a clear day as we did, it is worth the long drive from Tokyo.

Excellent day trip! - Jiru was a fabulous guide! He recommended an earlier pick up due to Golden Week and we are so glad we did as we just beat all the tour buses at all our stops. He was very informative and made it an incredibly enjoyable day. We had clear skies so bonus points for the weather!

A day outside of Tokyo - If you have a day to spare and want to have an experience outside of Tokyo, this the tour for you. We chose itinerary B. The guide and driver initiated our group chat the day before our tour. Based on his recommendation, we started our tour early from our hotel. We were fortunate that Mt. Fuji station 5 opened just two weeks ago. If your guide is willing to start early, we recommend accepting it. The stops before reaching the station are quite busy with tour busses. The driver was very professional and accommodating.

Wonderful experience at Mt Fuji tour with Jun. Highly recommend! - Our tour with Jun was amazing. He took us to beautiful spots to see the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. He is very friendly and accommodating. He let us take our time and is very flexible. I traveled with my teen and she enjoyed the tour as well. Overall we had a great experience and definitely recommends this tour to families or group of friends. Thank you again Jun for our wonderful day today! We look forward to booking again when we come back in the future.

Mount Fuji Tour - I have used Viator in many countries over the years—including France, Italy, Spain, and Japan—but I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this tour. We booked a private day trip to Mt. Fuji and were shocked to find that the driver spoke no English and had no experience or knowledge about Japan. He had recently relocated from Dubai and was originally from Pakistan. Throughout the tour, he provided no information or commentary. Additionally, the vehicle itself was very uncomfortable, had an unpleasant odor, and the temperature control was poor, making it either too cold or too hot. After completing the tour To make matters worse, we were charged an extra ¥5,000 because we returned to Tokyo at 7 PM instead of the planned 6 PM, due to heavy traffic ,despite already paying $460 for the tour.. Overall, this was a highly disappointing and frustrating experience. , I immediately canceled the other tours I had booked through Viator.

Deceptive tour guide that will try to scam you (DO NOT BOOK) - The overall experience of seeing Mt. Fuji and visiting the various destinations was enjoyable. However, the driver’s conduct was quite disappointing due to a lack of transparency and professionalism. It is important to note — though it is not mentioned on the website — that there is an additional charge if the tour extends beyond the booked time. Our tour was scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM and conclude by 6:00 PM. On the morning of the tour, we received a WhatsApp message informing us that every additional 30 minutes past 6:00 PM would incur a 2,500 yen fee. Given that Mt. Fuji is located 2–3 hours away from Tokyo, it was crucial to plan our return carefully. The driver advised us to leave at 3:00 PM, despite knowing that traffic at that time would significantly delay our arrival back in Tokyo. He did not communicate the timing risks clearly at all. Additionally, he made an unscheduled toilet stop on the way back, which further delayed our return. He was also very dismissive and hostile when we tried to clarify the timing situation better. We arrived at 6:15 PM — just 15 minutes over the scheduled time — and were immediately told there would be a 2,500 yen charge. Only after we pointed out that it was less than 30 minutes overtime did he agree to reduce the fee by half. This additional charge felt very unfair, especially given that delays were caused by factors outside of our control, including the driver’s decisions such as his' toilet break' and traffic conditions. I would strongly recommend finding a tour guide who is more honest, professional, and considerate when it comes to time management and communication. Otherwise, you may feel pressured to leave sites earlier than you would like just to avoid unexpected fees. Unfortunately, my experience with this driver — June (or Joon) — was extremely disappointing, and I sincerely hope future travelers are spared from similar issues. Long story short: Do not book with this deceptive mode of transport, book elsewhere.
