Review of a private Mt. Fuji and Hakone day tour from Tokyo, with hotel pickup, flexible stops, costs, guide concerns, and practical tips.

He stayed in the car while dropping us off at each location, which was not what we had hoped for. Even my 6-year-old remarked, “The guide doesn’t get out of the car and show us around like the man that did our tour in Tokyo yesterday. How are we supposed to know what we’re looking at?” The previous day, we had a fantastic experience…”
