Mt. Fuji & Hakone day trip by van from Tokyo - 10hr Private Tour

Sachiko was amazing. She made my wife’s birthday trip to Mt. Fuji unforgettable. I would highly recommend her.

Sachiko was an excellent guide and very personable. She went out of her way to customize our tour.

We had a lovely day with Sachiko. From the moment she and her driver picked us up, to dropoff at the end of the day, we enjoyed ourselves. The route and activities she picked were perfect and we were able to see Mt Fuji from a distance (partially) and in her full glory from just below the Fifth Station. If you are looking for a private tour and knowledge from a true local, this is the tour to book!

We spent a lovely day with Sashiko at Mt Fuji and Hakone. Sashiko picked us up from our hotel in the morning with a private transfer and took us to Mount Fuji. Luckily, the morning was clear and sunny and we were able to enjoy the view of the Mount Fuji without clouds. Unfortunately, in the afternoon, clouds arrived and we were no longer able to see Mount Fuji from Lake Hakone. Those who do this excursion should consider the possibility that the visibility of Mount Fuji depends on the weather conditions. In any case, the day was very pleasant and we enjoyed it. Sashiko also let us taste the typical Owakudani’s Black Eggs!

Our family of 6 very much enjoyed our tour of Mt. Fuji & Hakone. Sachiko is a knowledgeable and experienced guide. We were able to experience everything on the suggested route. On the way, she introduced information about Japan and a short lesson on Japanese characters. She brought delicious Japanese senbei snacks to eat on the way. The van was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. She warned us that we might not be able to see Mt. Fuji but we were delighted to view the summit on the way up to the 5th station and at the 5th station. She took us to a local restaurant to eat a hearty udon lunch. She answered all our questions, even suggesting where to shop for ukiyo-e prints in Tokyo. She was so nice and kind and made everyone feel comfortable. It was a great visit to Mt. Fuji and Hakone.

What a great day we had with Sachiko! She met us at our hotel and we drove to Mt. Fuji. What an amazing site it is to see up close. Sachiko explained all the history of the mountain and surrounding area. We were lucky that it was a clear beautiful day! She took us to an ancient shrine, a delicious Japanese restaurant then on a boat ride on the lake near Hakone. We visited a lovely wood shop in Hakone and bought some souvenirs. The day flew by and we truly appreciated spending the time with Sachiko.
