Competition for the most beautiful region of Japan is fierce but Hakone is a serious contender.
It’s no secret that Hakone is one of the most popular and accessible day trip destinations from Tokyo. What keeps people coming back is its famous hot springs and vastly untouched nature. Not to mention, on a lucky day, visitors can get a perfect glimpse of Mount Fuji from afar. Perhaps most strikingly, Hakone is heaps quieter, which is why even locals come here for a respite from the busy city on weekends.
As this is a private tour, itinerary can be tailored according to your interests.
Hassle free and comfortable way of visiting Fuji and Hokone.
P.S All the location’s mentioned in the itinerary can’t be cover in one day, you can make own personalized itinerary with the help of driver on the tour day.

Unfortunately it was a very rainy day when we went to Mt Fuji so we knew that we wouldn't see it. So we didnt get to see much as per the itinerary. The driver was a nice person however it wasn't really a tour guide more like driving service to the areas.

Awesome experience. Sakib was a fantastic tour guide! He gave us options of what we wanted to see but we gave him that job and he took us to the most beautiful places.

My wife and I have visited Japan on five different occasions. We’ve often had passing glimpses of Mount Fuji from the window of a Shinkansen or tour bus. On this most recent family trip we decided to sign up with a guided tour offered by Viator, and was finally able to view Mount Fuji as we had dreamed.
Our tour was greatly enhanced by our guide, Abbas, who was very nice, and did a great job finding us spectacular vistas of this sacred mountain. We even got to go on a speed boat tour on Lake Kawaguchikoi to get more unique views of Fuji. These are memories that will last a lifetime.

The good things - the weather, the beauty of Mt Fuji and surrounding scenery.
The not so good - the traffic, the lack of knowledge displayed by guide, the inability to actually get to the fifth station,
Short stops with little information given, the inability of guide to converse adequately in English and a worrying trip back where driver appeared to be falling asleep at the wheel. Would not recommend this company.

We were very disappointed with this tour. You get attracted by many sightseeing wonders but it is actually impossible to see half of them as they are quite away from each other. Certainly beforehand you're warned that the program route may change depending on traffic, but honestly, even with no traffic it is not possible to see more than four different sites. Added to that, that the driver is just a driver and does not provide informative commentary about the destinations being visited, I cannot not advise it. At least, we got to see Mount Fuji, but that's thanks mother nature rather than the tour.

The driver picked us up at our Hotel and took us to an old, yet scenic village at the foot of Mount Fuji and a temple with 400 Steps with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji. He was more driver then guide so information was scarce and he did not go to Hakone as was shown.

There were a couple mishaps during the experience and the description is misleading. Originally, we had selected an 8:00 AM departure to avoid some of the traffic. The night before, the tour operator messaged us that they couldn’t do 8:00 AM because they needed to rent a van and wouldn’t be able to depart until 8:30 AM at the earliest. On the day of the tour, ended up departing closer to 9:00 AM. Due to the amount of traffic, this inherently reduced time at each stop. Additionally the Hakone area was “closed” but this wasn’t communicated until the end of the tour. I wouldn’t so much call this a “private tour” as much as a private driver for the day since no information or history was relayed by our driver and their English was poor at best. Mt. Fuji is beautiful and the weather was great but I think for the price we paid, it seemed overpriced for what we received.

After booking the trip for 8 am. The particular tour operator driver asked if he can come earlier to avoid the traffic. We agreed and left earlier despite the inconvenience.. His English communication is very poor and he was not able to understand most of questions or concerns. When we asked if we can get breakfast at the first destination he said yes but took us to a place there is no restaurant.
Then he insisted us to skip the entire lake hackone area as he told us everything is closed as per his friend.
Dropped us at a mall and told us we can do the shopping and we did not challenge because we realized that nothing is going to work.
We informed everything to the tour operator and told them not to mention anything until we return safely but they spoke to the driver in their own language (Hindi/Urdu) and driver got to know that we complained.
It was a very bad experience and extremely unpleasant. Communication was so bad despite the fact we asked to provide a good one.

Great day trip to leave Tokyo behind for some countryside. The driver explained in advance all the stops, timeline, etc. and followed it precisely. Lake cruise was very nice as well gondola rides. Great views. Then on to Fuji and more amazing photo opps.

There were so many memorable parts. We had perfect weather for viewing Mt Fuji. Some of the best parts were just seeing it from all different vantage points, taking the rope way down Hakone, and seeing the volcanic smoke coming out from the mountainside at Hakone.
