This tour covers key sites of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings with beauty and wonders of nature. I will also cover the cultural aspect of this World Heritage Site. I will meet you at your hotel and will escort you back to your hotel. As I designed this tour, I focused on full coverage of key sites of Mt. Fuji in regards to geography, culture and history, plus time and budget efficiency utilizing a coach (bus) transport from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area. Your safety/satisfaction will be my #1 key.
At your hotel
The key issue for this tour is transportation "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and also "around Mt. Fui". The best solution, I believe, would be the combination of an economical coach bus for the long distance travel "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and "a hired car or van around Mt. Fuji area". The one-way coach fee is Yen 2,200 (US$15) and the basic hourly hired car/van fee is Yen 7,020 (US$50). You will need just about 4 hours for the tour around Mt. Fuji.
This is your first visit of the day for a quick preview of the tour. With free admission, you will learn the overall feature of Mt. Fuji with its natural, cultural and historical characteristics.
One of the most famous Instagram Photo Spots in Mt. Fuji sites. I will walk you through the famous Shinto Shrine with the stunning view of Mt. Fuji, weather permitting.
One of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in the area with quality local food. The owner and the restaurant team will host you with their warmest hospitality and variety of authentic Japanese food.
Witness the wonder of water around Mt. Fuji. You will be amazed by the clarity and wonder of the water in those ponds - the water is the result of wonderous dynamic of nature around Mt. Fuji. The water you see in those ponds is the mater which is the result of the melting snow from 20 years ago. The snow that accumulated onto the mountain 20 years ago has melted and has been absorbed into the cave, soil and rocks of the mountain and resrufaced and sprang to those ponds - really amazaing dymatic of natural water circulation.
Ride on the coach bus back to Tokyo and then I will escort you back to your hotel

We hired Tom for our first two days in Tokyo. Tom speaks fluent English, is communicative, kind and cordial. Our second day was excellent, with lunch at a delicious restaurant in Asakusa! Tom took care of booking a tea ceremony for us and it was an unique and immersive experience into the Japanese culture. We were able to visit several places in Tokyo calmly and peacefully! Thanks, Tom! Now we have a friend in Tokyo! We hope to return soon!
