View on Google MapsWonderful way to experience Mt Fuji, surrounding lakes, and a few more cultural gems with a local nature enthusiast. Shawn, our guide, was fantastic.
We had a wonderful day with Shawn. He knew and brought us to the best spots to see and take photos of the majestic Mt Fuji despite the rainy and cloudy weather. We had delicious lunch of Hotta at a traditional family restaurant and he even drove us to the Mt Fuji brewery, which was not officially on the itinerary. At the end of the day, he recommended an excellent katsu don place for dinner - again above and beyond. Thank you Shawn for the day!
Although we did not take the tour due to a last minute issue, Shawn was very clear in his communication and his instructions. Shawn was also accommodating and understanding of our last minute cancellation. Shawn was very receptive to questions we had before the tour, too. We appreciated Shawn’s’ communication, understanding, and politeness. We hope to experience this tour in the future with Shawn.

My second time this trip with Shawn. It’s amazing and he is such a fabulous, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He shows spots ot Fuji other tours don’t know about or don’t go. Can’t recommend enough. Definitely do it while in Japan, you won’t regret it.
We had already seen Mount Fuji but with Shawn we saw unexplored areas. Without such an experienced guide we could not have got there. He picked us up by car and made us make several stops where he also took pictures of us. He took us to taste typical food and then rush into the sunset.
Wow, what a day we had. Shawn placed thought and effort into tailoring our day to maximise the experience. A walk through the beautiful autumn leaves before cruising around Lake Kawaguchiko to his special location for a BBQ lunch whilst enjoying spectacular views of Mt Fuji. No crowds, just beautiful scenery and tasty food. We also enjoyed the Sake tasting which was a great add on. I did not expect to view Mt Fuji from so many angles. Shiraito Falls were amazing too. Thanks Shawn for a day to remember.
Shawn is an extraordinary guide who will do his utmost to make you experience off the beaten track by the “hordes” of tourists who are all in the same places around Mount Fuji. We probably enjoyed the last “outdoor BBQ” on Lake Motosu with the onset of winter temperatures .. but what a spectacle! With still autumn colors and a radiant sun.
What an amazing day Shawn gave us! We saw Mt Fugi (from a few different view points), Shiraito Falls and had a delicious BBQ, prepared and cooked by Shawn on the beach of Lake Kawaguchiko with an awesome view of Mt Fugi. He also gave us a sake tasting during lunch and we stopped by a sake brewery after. Shawn really puts time and effort into making the day special. He also took lots of great photos of us throughout the day. Shawn is well traveled and very friendly and we highly recommend this experience.
Our experience with the tour near Mount Fuji was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, Shawn made us feel at ease by picking us up in a comfortable vehicle in Tokyo and driving us to the stunning areas surrounding Mount Fuji. The journey was just the right length—half a day—which allowed us to experience the beauty without feeling rushed. The highlight of the trip was when he prepared and cooked a delicious meal for us. It was clear he had put a lot of thought and care into the meal, and every bite was a treat! The flavors were incredible, and it really gave us a taste of authentic Japanese home cooking. Throughout the entire trip, the guide was incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and shared interesting facts and stories about the areas we visited. His knowledge of the local culture and history made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, this was a memorable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. If you're planning to visit Mount Fuji, this tour is highly recommended!
This was an amazing experience! Shawn took us all around Mt.Fuji and the lakes, while taking some incredible photos of myself and my mom! He then cooked us an amazing, fresh, and delicious meal on the shore of Lake Motosu while we took in the breathtaking view of Mt.Fuji and sipped on some sake. We capped off the day by seeing Shiraito Falls! He is an incredible tour guide and an incredible cook! This is a must-do for anyone looking for a more private and personal tour of Mt.Fuji!!
