Highlights

Full description

Skip the crowds and fixed timetables of the big coach tours. This private day trip — around 10 to 11 hours — runs from Tokyo (or Saitama) straight to Mount Fuji and Hakone, completely on your terms. You decide how fast you move, where you linger and how the day takes shape.

Your driver collects you right at your door — hotel, apartment, wherever you're staying. It's more than a ride: you get an experienced professional who speaks English, Hindi and Urdu, so you're never guessing about local customs, history or where to eat. Couples, families and groups of friends all enjoy the comfort and freedom of a vehicle that's theirs alone.

From the city, the scenery opens into countryside as you head toward Fuji's peaks. You'll take in the famous red pagoda, peaceful spring-fed villages, mirror-still lakes and hillside shrines — and, if you'd like, the volcanic landscapes, ropeways and lake cruise that make Hakone special. Tell your driver the kind of day you want, and they'll build it with you.
