Full description

This is a 10-hour experience from Mount Fuji, built around Bus/coach, Mt. Fuji 5th Station and Oshino Hakkai. It is run by Leda Japan, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Mount Fuji is 3,776 metres, Japan's highest mountain and an active volcano that last erupted in 1707. Day tours from Tokyo go to the Fuji Five Lakes on its north side, about two hours away: Lake Kawaguchiko for the classic reflection view, Oshino Hakkai's spring-fed ponds, the Chureito Pagoda above Fujiyoshida with the mountain behind it, and often the Fuji Subaru Line to the 5th Station at 2,300 metres when the road is open, roughly April to November. The summit is climbable only in July and August. Fuji is visible on roughly a third of days and most often in winter mornings; from June to September it is hidden in cloud more often than not, and no operator can promise the view, so the lakes and the pagoda are planned as worth the day on their own.

The price covers Round-trip transportation from Tokyo, Multilingual and Fuel and toll fees. It does not cover Entrance fees to any optional attractions, Personal expenses and souvenirs, Gratuities for the guide and Food and drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Leda Japan sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Leda Japan before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The trip was a long one about 12 hrs due to holiday traffic. We had to shorten ever stop and stay on a very tight schedule but all the highlights were seen. Including onsen time. Lunch was well organized needed lots of cash. It wasn’t part of package and no credit card. Same for onsen cash only. Mt. Fuji was very proud and strong on our day full view at the fifth station. Christie was very fun and sweet. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Élveztünk minden percét, sajnos a Fujira nem jutottunk fel ,mert le volt zárva az időjárás miatt. Az idegenvezető viszont mindent megtett , hogy tökéletes legyen a program. Csak ajánlani tudjuk ☝️

Es war eine sehr schöne Tour mit einem freundlichen Fahrer. Die Reiseroute war wunderbar geplant und sorgte dafür, dass die Reisenden den ganzen Tag über gut Unterhalten und bei guter Laune bleiben. Zwar haben wir wirklich Spaß bei dieser Tour.

It was a wonderful trip to Mount Fuji. We enjoyed beautiful scenery from the middle of the mountain and tasted local cuisine. The driver was very skilled, and he guided us to the meeting point in English. Overall, we were very satisfied!

This was a perfect Mount Fuji climbing experience. The driver took us to the fifth station, told us where to go and when to return, and then we were free to do as we pleased. We enjoyed the spectacular views from the mountain and bought some local souvenirs, which made the children very happy. The driver spoke excellent English and, although he did not accompany us during the trip, he gave us a brief introduction along the way. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere on the bus was great, making this a very enjoyable trip.

Finally, a Fuji tour that gets it right! The driver departed on time, and the bus was comfortable. Our driver, Ken, briefed us in English, then gave us plenty of free time to explore the 5th Station on our own. No rushing at the same time. The kids also loved grabbing souvenirs, and we got some amazing photos. Felt relaxed the whole time.

The price does not cover entrance fees to any optional attractions, personal expenses and souvenirs, gratuities for the guide (optional) and food and drinks. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Nobody can promise it. Fuji is clear on roughly a third of days, most often on winter mornings, and from June to September it is in cloud more often than not. The tour runs regardless and the lakes, the pagoda and the ropeway are planned to be worth the day without the summit. There is no refund for cloud.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Only during the official season, roughly early July to early September — exact dates are announced each year per route. Outside it the mountain huts close, and climbing becomes a serious mountaineering proposition rather than a hike. A mandatory climbing fee and a daily cap now apply on the Yoshida route, with the other routes following. Full detail in our guide to climbing Mount Fuji.
Counterintuitively, winter — the cold, dry air gives the clearest views, while humid summer haze often hides the mountain entirely. That means the climbing season is also the worst viewing season. Where and when to look is covered in our Mount Fuji viewpoints guide.
An Odakyu pass covering the whole Hakone loop — Tozan railway, cable car, ropeway, Lake Ashi boats and buses — for less than buying the legs separately. How the loop works and which direction to travel it is in getting around Hakone.
It varies. Many traditional baths still refuse tattoos, some now allow them with cover stickers, and a private bath (kashikiri) is the reliable workaround. Bathing etiquette and how to find tattoo-friendly options are in our Hakone onsen guide.
It was listed in 2013 for its influence on art, literature and pilgrimage — not for its geology. That is why the listing includes places like Oshino Hakkai and the Sengen shrines, not just the peak itself. Background in our climbing Mount Fuji guide.
Two days lets you do the loop without rushing and still soak properly in an onsen — a single day works but means moving constantly. Our Hakone 2-day itinerary maps it out hour by hour.
Most Hakone and Mt. Fuji private tours here are priced for the whole party, not per traveller — the operator is providing a vehicle and a guide, so a group of four pays the same as a couple. The exceptions are the group summit climbs, which are genuinely per person. Each tour page states which model applies.
