Highlight of our Japan trip!

Booking a private car was the best decision we made. Our driver, Ken, was fantastic—he knew exactly where to go to get the best photos away from the crowds. We adjusted our schedule to spend more time at the Pagoda and skipped the ropeway because of wind. You just can't do that on a bus tour.

Seamless and comfortable

Traveling with elderly parents, the private van was a lifesaver. No walking to meeting points, just straight from our hotel lobby. The drive up to the 5th station was smooth, and the van was spotless. Highly recommended for families.

Great driver, shy Fuji

The service was impeccable. The driver spoke good English and was very polite. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was hiding behind clouds, but the driver quickly suggested visiting the Iyashi no Sato village instead, which was beautiful. Flexibility is the key benefit here.

Worth every penny

It seems expensive compared to the bus, but for a group of 4, it's great value. We went to Gotemba Outlets after the mountain and shopped until late. Total freedom. The booking process was super easy.

Magical day

We hit the cherry blossom season perfectly. Our guide knew a hidden spot near the lake with zero tourists. The car was a luxury Alphard, very spacious. 10/10 experience.

Exceptional flexibility

We wanted to see the Ice Caves and the Shrine. The driver planned the route perfectly so we didn't hit traffic. We even stopped at a local strawberry farm which wasn't on the original plan!

Comfortable for kids

We had two toddlers and the operator provided quality car seats. The driver was patient with our bathroom stops. It made a long day trip very manageable.
