About this experience
Our private tour is a relaxed and fully customizable experience guided by a local from the Fuji countryside.
You’ll visit a selection of well known viewpoints and quiet local spots such as lakes, forests, waterfalls, lava caves, and rural tea fields. The listed stops represent a basic route, but the day is designed with extra time to allow flexibility.
The total tour duration is intentionally longer than the listed spot times to allow for travel between locations, optional detours, meal breaks, and on-the-day customization. Guests may choose to skip certain stops, spend more time at others, or replace locations with alternative spots in Fujinomiya or Fuji City depending on their interests.
After booking, your guide will contact you to adjust the itinerary based on your pace, preferences, and current conditions. Routes may also change due to weather, traffic, or crowd levels to ensure the best possible experience.
A flexible, private way to enjoy Mt. Fuji beyond fixed schedules.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Shiraito Falls is one of the most iconic waterfall views in the Mt. Fuji area.
Thin streams of spring water flow gently over a wide rock wall, creating a soft curtain-like landscape unique to Mt. Fuji’s underground water system.
The area is lively and popular, but the natural beauty is always worth seeing.
2
A small local waterfall often missed by visitors.
Unlike Shiraito Falls, this spot has a relaxed and natural atmosphere, and in summer you can cool your feet in the clear spring water.
It’s a peaceful place to enjoy Mt. Fuji’s fresh water up close.
3
A quiet lakeside with beautiful Mt. Fuji views.
On calm mornings, the surface reflects the mountain like a mirror, and with a bit of luck you may see the double-Fuji reflection.
If you prefer, we can enjoy a short lakeside cycling section here.
4
A historic site connected to the Fuji-ko faith.
The area is calm and surrounded by nature, and from here we can walk to a natural lava cave hidden from regular tourists.
It offers a rare chance to feel the volcanic history of Mt. Fuji.
5
The head shrine of over 1,300 Sengen shrines across Japan.
It features the crystal-clear Wakutama Pond, fed directly by Mt. Fuji’s underground spring water.
A meaningful cultural stop where you can learn about the traditions connected to Mt. Fuji.
