Mt. Fuji & Hakone Customizable Private Tour with Bullet Train Return
A fully personalized journey through Japan's most iconic natural landscapes, ending with a Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo.
This Mount Fuji and Hakone private tour gives travelers the rare freedom to shape their own itinerary across two of Japan's most celebrated destinations, choosing from a curated selection of sites in the Fuji area before continuing to Hakone's volcanic scenery.
The tour combines cultural depth, natural beauty, and modern convenience in a single day. Guests select three locations from the Fuji area — options include historic shrines, spring-fed ponds, and lakeside viewpoints — before heading to Hakone for a ropeway ride and a visit to Lake Ashi.
The journey concludes with a return to Tokyo aboard the high-speed Shinkansen bullet train, one of Japan's most celebrated engineering achievements. It is a fitting close to a day spent moving through landscapes that have defined Japan's identity for centuries.
Because the tour is entirely private, the pace, priorities, and stops can be adjusted to suit each group's interests. Families, couples, and solo travelers all find the format equally well-suited to their needs.
Tour Highlights
Choose three personalized stops from six iconic Fuji-area sites, tailoring the experience to your interests.
Explore the crystal-clear spring-fed ponds of Oshino Hakkai, fed by meltwater filtering through Mount Fuji's lava fields.
Visit Kitaguchi-hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, a historically significant spiritual site framed by towering cedar trees.
Ride the Hakone Ropeway for aerial views over the volcanic Owakudani valley and surrounding national park.
Cruise or walk along the shores of Lake Ashi, a caldera lake offering clear-day reflections of Mount Fuji.
Photograph the Chureito Pagoda, one of Japan's most iconic viewpoints for framing Mount Fuji against a five-story tower.
Return to Tokyo in comfort aboard the Shinkansen, covering the distance in a fraction of the time of conventional transport.
