If you are seeking a tailored, personable experience without the hassle of larger group tour busses and less punctual tourists holding up your group’s departure to the next item on your agenda, look no further! Live Japan has an excellent team of guides, and I cannot more highly recommend to you the best tour guide we have ever had, Ai-San. To begin, Ai-San is a skilled communicator, and a strong active listener. I requested a booster seat for my daughter, and she made sure to have this installed for our daughter’s safety. (Even though we never came close to an accident on the road.) She also paid close attention to our interests and surprised us with a playlist of Disney, family-friendly music, playing lightly in the van after our first stop. Next, Ai-San is dependable and punctual. She is always on time and was ready to resume our tour when we were. She even included a small detour to make sure our daughter could use the restroom on our drive back to our hotel. Lastly, Ai-San is highly knowledgeable for curating an itinerary that flows and makes sense. She surprised us with a viewing spot only locals would know of. But what makes Ai-San especially excellent is that she is personable and relatable, sharing in our family’s jokes. She has her own children, and it is clear that she is a loving and caring person. She left a strong impression on us all, and she is truly an asset to Live Japan. Thank you, Ai-San! And thank you, Live Japan and Viator. We have photos and memories we will truly cherish forever.

Highly recommend a private tour for those who are pressed for time. Our driver David was very informative where he would point out points of interests. We did the Mt. Fuji/Hakone tour. He was very attentive and flexible to ensure we saw everything we wanted to do on our list. Really satisfied with everything.

First time in Japan and wanted to see Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area.. are first mistake was staying in the Mt. Fuji area. Why? The travel there was brutal three trains and an hour bus ride with our luggage. We made it but the return trip was going to be even worse. That is where Ali and the tour helped a lot. If we had known in advance that they pickup and drop off from Tokyo it would have saved us a ton of time however we were able to get dropped off back in Tokyo and avoid the travel nightmare. That being said the tour was comfortable and informative are driver spoke good English and helped with translation he customized the trip to see what we wanted to see and it was nice we had a great lunch and then followed that up with some very good ice cream. It was really good we then casually toured the old town and then were brought back to Tokyo with all of our bags. Note don’t haul your luggage all over and try to navigate the public transit system. The tour overall was great a very nice driver and some beautiful scenery.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad Ali was able to make your trip easier and more enjoyable by customizing the tour and helping with your transfer back to Tokyo.

The hike provides a glimpse into the beauty & history of the region. The terrain at times was slippery, involved a cobbled path, and uphill ascent, so plan accordingly. Our guide was absolutely wonderful- he matched our pace, answered all of our questions, and brought us to a lovely, local establishment for lunch.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

It is a very good tour. Our Driver David from Live Nippon was very friendly and helped us to customise our itinerary according to weather. He showed us all the attractions we wanted to go and still managed tour in time explaining us how much time we should spend at each attraction to cover all of them. Highly recommend David from Live Nippon for this tour.

My family and I did the Mt. Fuji private tour. Sam, our tour guide, took us to many wonderful Mt. Fuji sites. He made us a very detailed and organized itinerary, so we wouldn’t miss anything. He also explained the traditions and history behind every place. We had a lovely day. I highly recommend this tour. Sam you’re the best! Arigato Gozaimasu!

Our Mt. Fuji excursion was absolutely incredible! Although it was a cloudy day and we were only able to see the tip of Mt. Fuji for a little the trip was still amazing! All the stops were incredible. We were also lucky to see the blessing of the hikers as hiking season began July 1st! The itinerary was well organized, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Our guide was friendly, informative, and made the experience even more enjoyable. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, for sure will be a repeated tour if we ever return to Japan hopefully a time where we can see Mt. Fuji!

Joanne_K, Jul 2026
The car was extremely comfortable and our guide, Salar, knowledgeable. We visited 5 sites, the highlight for us being the shrine and ice cream. Mnt Fuji was not visible and some of the stops would have been enhanced by its presence but the trip provided an excellent contrast to Tokyo and was very worthwhile.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We enjoyed this tour overall. Started early before scheduled time to beat traffic which made for less crowds at first couple spots. Went to 5 stops and explored around. We felt the stops got better each time. Saw Mt Fuji but was overcast so could not see the top. It was still worth the time. Our guide was mainly a driver from place to place and gave us some info for each stop. Knowledgeable enough for our group overall but would be good to read up on the places you want to go before this tour as we didn’t know some of the places and the schedule wasn’t completely set so we could have selected other places if we wanted. We had an adhoc stop for lunch and it turned out to be such a great add. The overall was well worth the longer tour day and seeing more of the country helped break up the crowded city. We had 6 tall people and our van was fine for the day. The suspension/shocks could use some maintenance though. Lots of great photo ops with some tourist traps missed in but still worth spending the day.
