Our driver Bhalli was terrific. Message night before advising best to be picked up at 6am instead of 7.30am to make sure we got a amazing view of Mt Fuji and he was 100% right. Views & family memories for lifetime.
Bhalli is also a fantastic at taking family photos. Highly recommend Bhalli as your driver.

This tour has many choices but large distances. You can realistically only do Hakone or Fuji area. Or about 6 to 7 quick stops of both.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your observation.
At Ikisaki Tours and Travels, we carefully design our itineraries to offer flexibility while ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Given the distances involved, we agree that focusing on either the Hakone area or the Fuji region allows for a more relaxed and immersive tour.
For guests who prefer a broader overview, we can also arrange a customized plan that includes approximately 6 to 7 brief stops across both areas. However, this option is best suited for those comfortable with a faster-paced schedule.
We would be happy to tailor the itinerary based on your preferences, travel pace, and interests to ensure the best possible experience.

Our driver picked us up at our Fuji area hotel at 10:00 am with a drop off time of 3:00 pm.
We agreed to the following itinerary.
Suggested Itinerary (A)
10AM Pick up from Fuji area
Hakone Ropeway
Owakudani valley
Lake Ashi + Cruise
Hakone Shrine
15:00 drop off is in Fuji area
It took about two hours to drive to the Ropeway with a quick stop for gas along the way. I expect drivers to be better prepared! This only gave us about 1 hour 20 minutes to buy tickets and experience the Ropeway. There was not enough time for the Lake Ashi and Cruise. We had to insist on seeing Hakone Shrine as Sam was adamant that it would take too long and we should just take a walk by the lake for 20 minutes instead.
While Sam was a good driver, he is not a tour guide and only offered information if we had a question. When I asked if he usually worked alone or with a guide, he said that we would have had to request a guide ahead of time.
The tour information states that pick up in Fuji area is between 9:30 and 10:00 and drop off is between 3:00 and 4:00. If the tour begins at the latest time, one should not expect it to end at the earliest time. We also questioned why the toll roads weren’t taken. Google Maps said that it would have saved up to 20 minutes each way.
This tour over promised what was possible in the amount of time available.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback about your tour. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve the experience we provide to our guests.
We are very sorry to hear that the timing of your itinerary did not allow you to fully enjoy all the planned stops. While travel times in the Fuji–Hakone area can vary significantly depending on traffic and weather conditions, we understand your disappointment that the schedule felt rushed but the driver were able to take to the route to hakone shrine so that you can enjoy the lake view from the car and we are sorry not to have experience the Lake Ashi cruise as originally expected.
Regarding the fuel stop and route choice, we apologize for any inconvenience. Our drivers are instructed to prepare vehicles before guest pick-up, and we will reinforce this standard with our team. In some cases, toll roads are avoided when traffic conditions or cost constraints do not significantly affect travel time, but we understand that in this instance, taking the toll route might have been preferable. We’ll ensure our drivers better communicate these decisions to guests in the future.
We also note your comments about the guiding aspect. You are correct that your booking standard does not include guided tour, though one can be arranged in advance upon request. We’ll make sure this distinction is more clearly explained during the booking process.
Once again, we sincerely apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will use it to improve communication, scheduling, and service preparation going forward.
Thank you for choosing us for your Fuji–Hakone trip, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again under better circumstances.

Communication from tour company was professional and organised. Driver was on time and car was clean and very comfortable.
Unknowingly we booked tour on the culture day holiday in tokyo which meant a visit to mt fuji on this particular day was popular with locals as well. This is a 10 hour tour which includes travel time. Meaning because of the traffic delays our time at mt fuji and surrounds was therefore limited at no fault of the company or guide. Adnan did a great job navigating us to see the sights within the time frame given. We were very lucky we had a beautiful, clear day at mt fuji and were able to capture some great photos of the cone.
There were many hours in the car to and from. Adnan, our driver and guide, was very friendly and had lots of good conversation and laughs. Even though it was a long day - we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and recommend Adnan who made the long day pleasurable.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour and appreciated Adnan’s friendly and professional service. Despite the holiday traffic, it’s great to hear you were able to enjoy clear views of Mt. Fuji and capture some beautiful photos. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon!

Make sure to check weather. Bring cash. Bring a handheld fan and an umbrella. And more importantly, pack bottles of water.

Mt Fuji it’s a beautiful and amazing mountain, how Jehovah God made creation a wonderful mountain.
