Our guide was Hikari and we was amazing! The less positive thing was the speakers on the bus they were very loud and noisy, so it distorted a bit of the sound.”

Spend about seven hours crossing Tokyo with a private English-speaking guide, from Meiji Shrine and Harajuku’s fashion streets to Tsukiji, Tokyo Tower, and Senso-ji in Asakusa. Public transport links the stops, and the route can be customized if you contact the guide two weeks ahead. Lunch, transport, and some entrance fees cost extra.

“Meg, our guide, was very helpful in navigating Tokyo and the public transportation system, including getting us back to our hotel after the tour. She showed us a shrine, and a temple and told us about each religion. She also took us to trendy parts of Tokyo and showed us people, streets and stores we would not have seen without her. She picked out a lunch place and helped us order and took us to a pop up Team Lab installation. We concluded the day at the Tokyo Tower. It was a delightful long day.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 542 reviews · from $99

Take an air-conditioned bus from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji’s 5th Station and Lake Kawaguchi, with an English-speaking guide and about 2.5 hours of free time by the lake. Choose a plan with lunch and a sightseeing cruise, and check whether the ropeway is included. Guides have included Anju, Hitoshi and Ike-san.

“This day trip to see Mt. Fuji was such an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Sojiro, was very welcoming and great at explaining things as we started our trip. He gave us fun facts about Japan as we started off our bus ride to see Mt. Fuji. There was a rest stop little over an hour to use the restroom and grab drinks/snacks. It started to snow, so unfortunately we couldn’t go to the 5th station (which the road closes if there’s snow) and the ropeway was closed due to maintenance (which Limon tours didn’t inform us about). Other than that, Sojiro, took care of us and was very informative…”

12.Mt. Fuji Day Trip from Tokyo with English Speaking Driver Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 443 reviews

Travel from Tokyo in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide, choosing from Fuji-area stops such as Lake Kawaguchiko, Oshino Hakkai, a shrine, and volcanic caves. Guides including Jamil, Mani, Prince, and Prem have been praised for flexibility and help with family photos, though the guiding style can vary. The 10-hour day is best planned around a few priorities, not every stop.

“We had a great day with Jamil. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to see shibokusa, Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, Mt Fuji, and Lake Kawaguchiko. He also took many photos for us and was very knowledgeable about the areas we went to see. We were very fortunate to see Mt Fuji, the weather gods were kind to us!”

“Our tour-guide, Yuka-san, was very friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and funny! She’s sharing so much interesting facts and history and engaging us by questioning. Our amazing bus-driver, Soka-san, was also great. She informed us along the way of the gigantic magnificent Mt. Fuji! Breathtaking every site we visited! HIS was the best tour of the three I took during the week stayed. The meeting point was easy to find especially for those who visited Japan the first time. Thank you. We’ll take more of HIS tours.”

14.Mt. Fuji, Cherry Blossom & Shiba Sakura Pvt. Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 326 reviews

Travel from Tokyo in a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a roughly 10-hour day around Mount Fuji. The route includes the Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station, Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, a shrine, Lake Kawaguchiko and Oishi Park. Guides such as Rana, Harry and Awais have led past tours. You can ask to adjust the day, but check Mount Fuji access and extra fees before departure.

“We chose this tour to have more flexibility with time and to see Mt. Fuji area with private guide and driver. Aswai didn’t disappoint. He took us to lovely small villages where is usually good view of the mountain. He also organised for us small boat ride on the Lake Kawasaki, which I highly recommend. Unfortunately weather wasn’t on our side and the mountain was all day in clouds. But we still enjoyed our trip.”

“Jagroop was a pleasant guide who showed me different areas of Nikko and took my photos as well! It helped because I am a solo traveller. Nikko is beautiful! If I were to return to Japan again, I'd definitely stay overnight or a few days to experience the location even longer.”
