Fuji Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The was a great experience! Biking through the neighborhoods and taking in all the history was great! Loved visiting the tea master. The views were beautiful! We also loved the ventilated vests.

Sumiko and Tak were AWESOME! They both made our first trip to Japan memorable. It was a cloudy day that made it impossible to see Mt. Fuji, but we had a great time! They both were hospitable, knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, and just pleasant to spend a full day sightseeing in Japan. THANK YOU!!! We will definitely be back to Japan!

What an amazing experience! Beautiful views, kind and knowledgeable guides, and wonderful educational experiences await you on this tour. We couldn't believe the value of this adventure! It was easy to meet outside Shin-Fuji station and the guides brought along anything needed for the bike ride. We had a great clear day, so were able to see so many lovely views of Mt. Fuji, historic sites, Suruga Bay, and many other spots in between. My mother was a bit older and it was a very warm day, so they graciously provided a follow car with a driver, which was very thoughtful. They also took many pictures, so it isn't something you have to worry about if you don't have a camera. We also met with a Tea Master, went to the Paper Museum to learn more about their primary industry and make origami, and stopped by a shrine to fill out an ema plaque. The Tea Master in particular was a real highlight, though all of it was great. We were also touched when they provided a personal gift at the end. Though it is an e-bike tour, it is still a workout, and don't forget your sunscreen if you go in the summer. We cannot recommend this tour enough! Do not hesitate at all if you are considering this; you will have wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

We had a wonderful time with our travel guide Sumiko. She sent us a letter to the hotel upon arrival which was very welcoming with an itinerary for the day.Sumiko knew the short cuts to avoid the long lines & stopped at places to take the best pictures.Thank you so much for making it the best day with my family.Catherine

Alternate and as a surprise origami lesson and tea ceremony. Route partly through buildings. And: lots of pictures with the volcano on it 🙏

We joined Yas for a bicycle tour in early May 2026, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Yas is not only very friendly and kind, but also incredibly knowledgeable. He took great care to explain Japanese culture and the meaning behind the places we visited, which made the experience especially memorable. The route was beautifully planned. We enjoyed stunning views of Mount Fuji, visited several Buddhist and Shinto shrines, and stopped at locations that hold deep significance for local people—places we would never have discovered on our own. Cycling along the coast and through rice fields was both relaxing and fun, with many opportunities for photos along the way. We also appreciated the cultural touches: visiting natural wells, taking a peaceful break to have our own tea ceremony with a local tea master to enjoy and learn about the tea culture in Japan, and even trying origami at a small paper museum. The tour ended with a lovely little surprise.The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, and the pace of the tour was just right. Everything felt well organized and personal.We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a more authentic side of Japan, away from crowded tourist spots. It’s a perfect blend of light activity, beautiful scenery, and meaningful cultural insight.Thank you, Yas, for such a wonderful and enriching experience. We will always remember this experience fondly. Warm greetings from Germany

Wonderful tour on a day with variable weather. Early start allowed us to beat the cherry blossom crowds and get on the cable car for Mt Fuji viewing. Shun was very knowledgable and tailored the trip to our wishes. We were not so sure about the outlet mall but really enjoyed our time there. Great lunch at a small town restaurant on the way. Fujisan shrine was stunning

Very dedicated tour, Elina our guide was an excellent host, had a lot of patience and was very committed. We enjoy each detail, and we thank that this tour could adapt to the weather and our group necessities.

No words can fully explain how much we loved this bike tour. I learned so much about Fuji- the town, the culture, the people, the mountain! Everyone that we passed greeted us! Seeing the coastline, the rice fields, the real Japan was something I’ll treasure in my memories forever. Meeting the tea master himself and drinking green tea - I’m now a green tea convert! Yasu, may life’s finest things come to you; you have given us a memory we’ll never forget. I’ve already told everyone to do your tour, even the lovely lady at the pharmacy as her son is coming this week. I’m sure you’ll look after him like you did us.

Whilst initially we booked this tour to get a view of Mt Fuji, the weather made that impossible and whilst our guide offered to reschedule the trip, we decided to go ahead anyway. We were met at the train station and what then began was a fabulous 4 hour e-bike tour of Fuji that was filled with history, great views, an amazing tour guide who was filled with great knowledge and insight and a great way to see Fuji. From the earthquake fault line, to the paper museum, the natural water springs and a memorable green tea ceremony with a tea master, this was a first rate fantastic e-bike trip. If you have the time when in Japan then don’t miss this!

I attended the Mt. Fugi Scenic e-bike tour in April and had an amazing time. The meeting location was convenient and accurate (right outside the train station) and was met on time by my guide, Mr. Yaz. Yaz, a local to the area was so friendly and welcoming and took us to popular spots where normally we would be able to see Fugi, unfortunately she was holding onto her cloud cover for most of our time. Regardless, Yaz took me to other scenic spots like the beach area opposite Fugi, a Buddhist temple, a ride thru the rice fields, a Shrine, the Fugi Paper Museum for hands on experience making Origami, and other spots. I learned so much about the area because of the knowledge he shared thru his excellent command of the English language and the visuals he used to make his points. My favorite part of the trip we when we stopped off to visit with a local Green Tea Master, where we learned so much about the best ways to brew it, while enjoying some at the shop. The Master and his wife were wonderful people and of course I bought some for my consumption at home. The e-bike itself was in excellent shape, super easy to use and very enjoyable. Towards the end of the trip, Mt. Fugi revealed a little of herself and Yaz took photos throughout the entire trek, posting them on a Google drive for us to download later. He even gave us a parting gift to take home! I think the whole trek was about 3 hours which was perfect. If you are looking for an educational, fun and active excursion, I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Very varied tour with different experiences, alternating beautiful mont Fuji views, with nice crossing of quaint places, and uplifting visits kindly explained. Good powerful bikes gets the distance covered effortless.

We were really lucky on the day we went - there was an excellent view of Mt Fuji.I believe the itinerary may vary depending on time etc. - we ended up visiting a local shop where I bought some chopsticks, the paper museum, and the katana museum. We also learnt about the local area - we saw a Tsunami lookout tower and we also visited a site where travelers go to pray before climbing Fuji.The pace was good and the amount of time at each stop felt reasonable.Our guide, Yasu, was very friendly and knowledgeable. His English was very good and helped translate when necessary. He also took photos on our phone at the stops (though the pictures attached to this review are ones I took myself).All in all I would highly recommend this, it's an excellent way to see Fuij and the surrounding area.Thank you!

Yasu was an amazing guide who took us through the countryside, Fuji City, and hidden gems like museums, shrines, and tiny shops - an unforgettable e-bike adventure we truly loved!

BOOK THIS TOUR NOW!!!!! My friend and I spent the morning weaving in and out of the Mt Fuji local township. Our guide Yasu was extremely generous with the planning of the morning, the ideal photo spots and his knowledge of the history of Mt Fuji. We had ample opportunity to see the mountain and enjoyed effortlessly getting around town on our e-bikes. Yasu ensured we were safe at all times, keeping a safe pace and using hand signals at every intersection. This is not just a tour of the Mt Fuji area, this is a true local cultural experience. Thankyou Yasu for creating the absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. Laura and Rebecca (Australia)

My family and I had an unforgettable experience and we definitely recommend this tour for those looking to spend a half-day getting away from the hustle of Tokyo and seeing a bit more of the beauty in a less-traveled part of Japan. The key highlight for us was our tour guide, Yasu. He not only displayed a wealth of knowledge of the Fuji City history, and also navigated some unexpected events along the tour with grace, professionalism and care. Your gets a 5/5 and Yasu gets a 10 out of 5!
