The 7 Best Cherry Blossom Tours in Japan

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

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 326 reviews Our pick

Review of a private Mt. Fuji day tour from Tokyo with Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, Lake Kawaguchiko, Oishi Park, and private transport.

“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.”
