Private Tour: Mietwagen zum Fuji und zum Hakone Ashi-See

Wir hatten die schönste private Tour über den Fujisan und den Kawaguchiko-See zu bestimmten Orten, an denen es keine Menschenmassen gab, aber die schönste Landschaft mit dem Fujisan im Hintergrund. Der 400-stufige Aufstieg zur Pagode zu Beginn der Reise war der perfekte Start mit einer herrlichen Aussicht auf den Fujisan. Wir mochten auch die Eishöhle, den Spaziergang durch den Wald und dann die Windhöhle und dann das örtliche Volksdorf. Das Mittagessen war auch ein Vergnügen für das Restaurant, das nicht überfüllt war, und das Gemüse-Nudelgericht war in der Tat für einen Samurai geeignet. Akio-San, der Reiseleiter, und Tachi-San, der Fahrer, waren außergewöhnlich freundlich, entgegenkommend und informativ und machten den Tag zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Das schöne Wetter half auch.

Our trip to the Fuji five lakes area with Takashi was truly memorable. Takashi is a consummate professional and went truly above and beyond to make our trip a great experience for the entire family. While the weather was not quite optimal and Mount Fuji was barely visible, Takashi managed our expectations and figured out ways to make our trip interesting. He was extremely flexible and customized the itinerary to meet our objectives. Takashi’s suggestion to go to Iyashi Na Sato ( healing village) was a great one, and we go to experience life in rural Japan. I personally enjoyed conversing with Takashi on a range of topics regarding Japanese culture, customs and life Japan in general. Takashi also provided good suggestions for other places to visit during our stay in Japan. Our driver was also extremely professional and did a great job of navigating difficult traffic conditions to bring us back on time. A truly memorable trip! Thanks for the wonderful memories!

The day started with the storm approaching the region. We were picked up right on time and left Tokyo city with the hopes of a great day. Our guide Teiji, fluent in English and French along with his Japanese was knowledgeable about all the little areas we visited making the trip historically, culturally and geographically very informative. We learnt a lot about the pilgrimage to Mt. Fuji and rain did not stop us. We even got a personalized tour views of the village and region with the perspective of the historic Eido period history. Then came the highlight, the clouds broke and our driver who was fantastic, along with our guide Teiji started chasing clearings for us to get a full view of the great mountain. We ran the 400 steps to the Lonely Planet view at the monument Pagoda and sat on a bench and absorbed the spectacular uncovering of Fujisan. We had great food along the way, picked up souvenirs and had a very comfortable ride back. This was worth every penny and the care and quality of the tour was one of the best we have been on. This tour is a must!! Our guide and driver made this very memorable.

Excellent trip and guide Make sure you can go to mountain since some months if the year private cars not allowed Only buses, Our driver had a disability so we were able to go to top and see the peak, When you book make sure to ask to go to fifth station or ask for a tour with a lot off walking if that is what you like. The lakes around mountain are beautiful but going to top is best You can go above the clouds and the views are serene There is a brewery that. You can visit if you like Sake is cheap and it’s the good stuff

Our tour operator Taiji was amazing. We had a wonderful experience. We saw some beautiful sites. Taiji went above and beyond our expectation. He was very well informed and knew which places to take us to visit. We had lunch at at an authentic Japanese restaurant overlooking the lake. He even offered to take us to see Tokyo at the end of our tour. It was an experience we will never forget. Thank you Taiji

Upon confirmation of this private tour, I received an email instructing to contact the tour operator directly. So I called and was happily assisted by Taiji Endo. I found out that there was no available English speaking guide on our selected day but Endo-san promised to try his best to find an English guide for us within the day. True to his words, by afternoon I received an email from him saying he was able to find us one of the best guide in the region. On the day of the tour, we were picked up from our hotel by the best driver Higashi-san, he was very patient with us especially since we were a group of 9 people traveling with 3 kids and 2 senior citizens and so we have to stop for at least 2 toilet breaks and 1 snack break. He also introduced to us some on the popular places we passed by along the way to the meeting place with our local tour guide. We met with the best tour guide Yuko-san.at Fujisan World Heritage Center and she guided us to each of the place in our itinerary. She was quite knowledgeable with the places we visited and brought us to each of the highlights of the place. She even gave us options and alternatives since that day was quite rainy and foggy and so we decided against sightseeing by boat since we wouldn't be able to see Mt. Fuji from the fog anyway. Even though we weren't able to see Mt. Fuji (considering the rainy weather), we all enjoyed the Lava Tunnel, Ninja Village, Music Forest, and strolling around Lake Kawaguchiko.... She also brought us to have lunch to try the local noodles in Mt. Fuji- the hoto noodles and also the fried smelt pond fish. They were quite yummy and the serving was huge. She even brought us some gift of mochi which we really enjoyed eating. We parted with Yuko-san our guide at Kawaguchiko Natural Loving Center around 5:30 pm and our driver Higashi-san drove us back to our hotel. Even though we exceeded our alloted time for the tour, not once did he complain or hurry us up, he even agreed to stop for a toilet break along the way since the drive back was quite long. Overall, the whole family enjoyed this tour. We would definitely get their services again in the future.

We traveled to Japan in the beginning of the rainy season and our tour guide, Mr Takashi Koizumi, emailed us back and forth and provided several detailed itineraries based on our needs. Because the season is not great for viewing Mt Fuji, on the day of the trip, he also made some adjustments according to the clouds to ensure that we maximized our opportunity to view the majestic mountain. We have an 80 year old grandmother with us so he also had to take into consideration of her needs. It was a lot to consider! However, we had a fantastic experience! The fifth station was cloudy, but as the day moved on, the clouds dispersed a lot and we were able to see Mt Fuji from the Lake Kawaguchiko, Oishi Park, Oisno Hakkai, and a beautiful flower park Hananomiyako Kouen. It was a perfect day! Mr Takashi speaks perfect English. He explained many cultural and historical references to us to enrich our trip. He also made recommendations for us for the next few days, and wrote down notes for us in detail. At the end of the day, he not only dropped us off near our dinner place but also came with us until we found the restaurant. He is not only a professional tour guide, but a genuinely nice and thoughtful person. This trip is definitely the highlight of our tour of Japan! We highly recommend Mr Takashi as a tour guide!

I booked this tour with a view to surprising my girlfriend with a proposal with Mt Fuji in the background. After reading a lot of reviews I specially requested Taiji as our guide and he soo did not disappoint. From the start we were exchanging messages to help me plan this special day. Taiji definitely went so out of his way to tailor the tour to my needs and desires. The day was perfect from the prompt pick up from our hotel, to the entire day where both Taiji and his driver Toshi made our day so fun and informative. They really felt like friends to us by the end of the day. Being blessed with beautiful sunny weather and Toshi's magic powers we saw Fuji San in all her glory! A big thankyou to Taiji San and Toshi San for the most unforgettable amazing day from Ketan & Katrina x

We enjoyed our tour the Mt. Fuji Five Lakes Region a great deal! Our guide Taija was very personable and a highly knowledgeable guide, both about the region as well as Japan's broader history and culture. He tailored the trip to that day's weather to ensure the best view of Mt. Fuji. He also brought us to several lovely places away from the guide bus crowds. What a wonderful day!
