Patteri was a great tour conductor. He is very customer centric. He optimizes our trip (group of 7 people) with a limited time. We stopped at these locations:
- Dangozaka SA for breakfast
- Oshino Hakkai, 8 oceans
- Kamiyoshidahigashi fields
- Lake Kawaguchi speed boat ride w/ Fujimimarin, shopping
- Fuji Yurari Onsen
- Shop Yamamomo for fruits
We enjoyed Lake Kawaguchi speed boat ride and Fuji Yurari Onsen so much. We bought fresh and juicy fruits with reasonable prices from Yamamoto fruits. We highly recommend a private tour with Patteri. He can give you a good suggestions based on your needs.
Mr. Maz made our Mount Fuji trip exceptional. He is a superb driver—safe, punctual, and knowledgeable. His insights into the area's history and culture enriched the experience immensely. What truly stood out was his friendly, patient, and accommodating nature. He knew all the best photo spots and ensured we had a relaxed, memorable day. We highly recommend him for a seamless and wonderful tour!
We had a great experience with Maz today for our private Mt Fuji tour. He was super knowledgeable, flexible, helpfull and patient. He customized our tour to best fit our needs. The van was very comfortable and clean. Maz and Live Nipon were informative, great to work with and worry free, would use them again for sure.

Our group of eight (ages 20–70) had an outstanding experience with our guide Petteri. He picked us up on time and checked in before and after the tour to make sure everything went smoothly. Throughout the day, he kept a great pulse on the group, made sure everyone was comfortable, and took wonderful photos for us.
He brought us to hidden spots with beautiful views away from the crowds and gave excellent recommendations on what to eat and what to do. Everything he suggested was perfect. Thanks to him, we even took a boat ride with Mount Fuji in the background, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.
The van was clean, comfortable, and made traveling from Tokyo easy and stress-free. We were able to enjoy the day without worrying about directions or logistics.
Overall, he was professional, friendly, flexible, and truly made the experience memorable. We highly recommend him and this tour to anyone visiting Mount Fuji.
Mt.fuji day tour was an unforgettable experience for me and my family today! Our private tour guy, Zia was really helpful and amazing from explaining our journey from the beginning to giving us hopefully thoughts about seeing Mt.Fuji! I truly appreciate every bit of this tour as it gave me a great experience to see Mt.Fuji for all different angles and also capturing the autumn leaves of Japan! And also accommodating the places we wanted to also see and capture like the iconic Lawson market Mt.Fuji IG view. And had a wonderful traditional Japanese lunch overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, and then ended the day with an ice cream and a flower/ autumn garden walk before heading back to Tokyo. Thank you Zia for an amazing day trip!
Fantastic trip. So much fun and such a good relaxed pace. We were taken to many wonderful spots during the trip, and also enjoyed gorgeous fall colors. The speedboat ride in the end really rounded it up well also for us.
Petteri was an amazing guide and we really enjoyed his knowledge and company!

We had a wonderful day out on our Mt Fuji tour with Live Nippon. Petteri, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the day. The weather was amazing with clear blue skies and excellent visibility.
We stopped at these locations:
- Arakura Fuji Sengen shrine, 398 "Sakuya" steps, Chureito pagoda
We got there relatively early and the crowds were light. Amazing views of Mt. Fuji. Great spot for photos. Had some beers and kombucha from @il_st_bibitone.
- Open Air Market Fuji no Mise for grapes
Definitely worth a visit. Expensive by European standards, but fresh and delicious.
-We did a Lake Kawaguchi speed boat ride w/ Fujimimarin. This was great fun and very reasonably priced. Then Petteri took us to a Mexican food van for some excellent tacos and quesadillas. We also did some souvenir shopping.
- Finally we went to the green lake at Saiko Nemba Hama. A truly beautiful and peaceful spot to end the day before the trip back to Tokyo.
Would definitely recommend the experience.
We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Petteri for a day trip to any Fuji and surrounding areas. We made it to Station 5 at Mt Fuji and stopped at 8 other locations on the way there and back. One stop was a boat ride to view Mt Fuji. A very fun experience. Petteri was flexible, making a random stop along the highway when we spotted an incredible grove of trees at peak colors. Overall a great day.
We did book a day trip from Tokyo to the Mt Fuji area. Pick up and return was from our hotel, which was very convenient. Our guide Haseeb was outstanding. Different people look for different qualities in a guide, but for us he was perfect. He did engage when we asked any question and did clearly explain the stops we were making and the time we had for each stop and the alternative activities given the time budgeted. He was well informed and patient. Haseeb did help us access all the different activities, coming with us to the entrance of each of them, as well as providing an overview when we got there of what was so special about each of them. It would be useful if the webpage explained the stops a bit clearer. There is time for about 4 stops. In our case: the 8 ponds village, the Kawaguchiko lake (would definitely recommend the speedboat experience for 10K JPY, on a clear dy the views of Mt Fuji from the center of the lake are amazing), a garden on the opposite side of the lake and the Chureito Pagoda. The day from pickup to dropoff should be about 10 hours, with 2 to 3 hours each way for the commute to the Mt Fuji area and back.

We had a fantastic tour of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area with our guide Dan. From picking us up at the hotel and prioritizing the sites we wanted to see, we felt like he went above and beyond to accommodate our group. We were lucky to have perfect weather and clear skies, so we got to see incredible views of the mountain at each stop. Dan was kind, friendly, and made our experience one to remember! We absolutely recommend taking this tour — it was a highlight of our trip!
