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

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.”

Review the $22 Meguro cherry blossom walk, with Daienji, Gajoen, practical meeting tips, value advice, and honest cautions.

“We couldn’t even find the guide. We were at the meeting point right on time and the guide was supposed to hold a banner or something which we never found. So basically we did not do the tour. Once I mailed them for refund they said pretty harshly that refund is out of question. They told me we could join the tour next day but we were leaving Japan on that night itself. It was really terrible how they handled the whole situation and I suggest everyone to think twice before taking tours like these as they are not considerate at all and if by any chance you miss it,will…”
