Tokyo Private Guide & Custom Tours

The Soul of Mt. Fuji: A Private Journey to Oshino & Beyond

Escape the crowds and discover the sacred side of Japan’s iconic peak.

Why This Tour is Different

Most tours take you to the same crowded observation decks at the same time as everyone else. We don’t. This is a journey designed for those who seek the whisper of the wind in ancient cedars rather than the noise of megaphone tours.

The "Anti-Crowd" Strategy:

We timed this itinerary to stay one step ahead of the big tour buses, ensuring your first breath of mountain air is a quiet one.

Beyond the Guidebook:

While we visit the famous Oshino Hakkai, we also take you to hidden shrines and Entrance of Mt. Fuji trail that large buses simply cannot reach.

100% Your Pace:

Travelling with family? Want to spend an extra hour at a local sake brewery or a Ninja house? Your private driver is your local fixer—we adapt the day to your rhythm.

The best spots for visiting and observing Mt Fuji

Our guide Tony was knowledgeable and very nice. He knew all the best spots for visiting and observing Mt Fuji, some of which were hidden gems with hardly any other people. Beautiful walk through the woods, observation from a close-by mountain top, views across the surrounding lakes, and great commentary on Japanese culture. You should not miss this!
Also, Tony was an extremely careful driver with an immaculate car to take us around. At our request he located a wonderful casual restaurant in Shinjuku for us that was a highlight of the trip.

Encounter with Mt Fuji

This trip exceeded expectations. Firstly Mt Fuji was very obliging and revealed herself in all her glory and secondly our guide, Fumie was excellent. It was like going to see Mt Fuji with a friend. The journey out of Tokyo took nearly 3 hours as everyone had the same idea on such a spectacularly sunny day. The journey back more like 2 hours. The car was comfortable and the driver professional. The advantage of doing a tour like this is that you have the opportunity to tailor your preferences with the advice of the guide. It was wonderful.

Amazing vacation

We had the most amazing family vacation in Japan! The Travel Assist Japan (TAJ) team (Tony, Fumi, and Yoshiko) were so helpful all throughout from planning and personalizing tours. We arranged several tours in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mt. Fuji, and they were all great! We were impressed with the level of organization, knowledge, flexibility, and authentic interest in ensuring we have the best experience possible during our trip and visit in Japan. We will certainly reach out to the TAJ team again!
