The Mount Fuji Private Tour with Guide & Pickup is a private, full-day car tour from Tokyo priced at $256 per booking (not per person) that visits the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, Arakurayama Sengen Park and Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, the nearby Oshino Shinobi no Sato village, and Gotemba Premium Outlets. An English-speaking guide and a private vehicle are included, with photo stops built into the route. It suits groups or families who want their own pace and pickup point rather than a shared bus schedule, and it costs roughly four times the group bus tour for that flexibility.

What the private tour includes
The price covers a private vehicle for the day, an English-speaking guide, and six stops: the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, Arakurayama Sengen Park with the Chureito Pagoda view, Oshino Hakkai, the nearby Oshino Shinobi no Sato ninja-themed village, and Gotemba Premium Outlets for shopping on the way back. Meals, personal expenses and some attraction entrance fees are not included.
Price vs. the group bus tour
At $256 the private tour costs about four times the $63 group bus tour, and the price is per booking rather than per person, so it becomes more competitive per head for a group of three or more. In exchange for the price, the itinerary covers two extra stops — Oshino Shinobi no Sato and Gotemba Premium Outlets — that the standard bus tour does not visit.
Flexibility and pickup
A private vehicle means the group sets the pace at each stop and can ask the guide to linger at a photo spot or skip one that doesn't interest them. It does not remove all fixed structure — the six stops are the tour's built-in itinerary — but it does mean no shared schedule with other travelers and a guide dedicated to one group for the day.
Who this tour suits
Families, small groups, and travelers who value a private vehicle and don't mind paying more per person for it are the best fit. Solo travelers or budget-focused visitors who just want the four core viewpoints get better value from the group bus tour; travelers who specifically want the shopping stop at Gotemba or the Oshino Shinobi no Sato detour get both only on this tour or the Hakone combo.

Frequently asked questions
Is a private Mount Fuji tour worth the extra cost?
It's worth it for groups of three or more, where the per-booking price splits down close to the bus tour's per-person price, and for anyone who specifically wants the Gotemba Premium Outlets or Oshino Shinobi no Sato stops that the standard bus tour skips.
How many stops does the private tour include?
Six: the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, Arakurayama Sengen Park and Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, Oshino Shinobi no Sato, and Gotemba Premium Outlets.
Is the price per person or per group?
Per group (per booking), not per person, since the vehicle and guide are private to your party.
