Kawasaki Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had an amazing private tour to Mt Fuji and the surrounding areas with Live Nippon and our guide, Pradhan.Pradhan was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating, making sure we got to see some beautiful places and experience the area at a relaxed pace. He was also happy to answer all our questions and share interesting information.We would highly recommend Live Nippon

Our tour was excellently planned and our guide was amazing!! Absolutely check traffic expectations. We only got to do two of the five spots we had on the plan and spent 6 hours in the car stuck in traffic. It was a national holiday. Had there not been traffic the tour would have been perfect but this was obviously not the tour operator or guide’s fault.

Well, you take your chances with Mt. Fuji..rain and cloud...never saw the mountain. Having said that, Mirza was an excellent guide and the day was still worthwhile, as we saw temples, gardens, lakes, museums ,etc.

Very comprehensive and enjoyable tour. Our driver Bajwa was very friendly, polite and professional. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. It was a very wet day but we still had an enjoyable time.

Max was a great tour guide. He communicated well, picked us up on time and got us to the sights ahead of the crowds. In addition to the fan favorites he showed us a relatively hidden gem that was a true surprise and one of the best memories we’ll have from the trip. He was fun and knowledgeable and helped make the day special.

Petteri met our train to do a trip to Mt Fugi and the surrounding areas, unfortunately too much cloud cover to see Mr Fugi, however we visited other areas of interest in lieu. Petteri was a fabulous guide and driver. We chatted the whole trip, he was a very friendly person.

Thanks David for a great tour and seeing as many sites as we did. The Kitaguchi shrine was the best we have seen and the boat tour on the lake Kawaguchi was very scenic. We missed Mt Fuji but still toned out nicely!

Driver/Guide was excellent and very informative. He guided us through out and ensured that we maximized the time

David’s tour of Fuji and Hakone was absolutely amazing! He was fantastic from start to finish and took us to all the places we wanted to see, while also showing us some of the best hidden gems along the way. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, and made the whole day so enjoyable and stress-free. We got to see the very best of the area and had an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t recommend David highly enough! If you’re looking for a tour of Fuji and Hakone, definitely book with David — you won’t be disappointed! 🇯🇵

Great private tour to Hakone and Mount Fuji! We visited Owakudani, Lake Kawaguchi, and Chureito Pagoda. Everything was well organized, and we had an amazing time. The views were beautiful, and our guide was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

What an amazing day we had on this private tour. Mt Fuji showed us her best and visiting the shrines and boating on the lake.The four of us gave it 12 out of 10..10 for what mother nature provided and the 2 extra points for having such a competent and knowledgeable driver. Israr was a gem! Thankyou for making this tour so perfect!⛩️🫶

Ai was an exceptional guide who worked so hard to make sure we had a really special day, even in bad weather. She was a safe and capable driver, and even accommodated dropping us off at a different hotel. Overall a beautiful day, well worth doing.

Absolutely thrilled with both Mirza our driver and Sonu our great guide: they were absolutely accommodating, prioritizing our comfort and our desires even if the weather was not ideal: we visited most of iconic sites, and they always were very welcoming and attentive. we all recommend their services 100% and will not hesitate to calling them again if we will visit this amazing country again! thank you Mirza and Sonu👍

I really enjoyed this tour and my guide Mirza did a great job of taking us to a lot of different places and answering our questions we had about the areas we visited.

David was an excellent tour guide. He planned the day very efficiently and made very good recommendations, including accommodations for our meals, he is an excellent photographer! Had a very good time!

Even in the middle of a typhoon, Fuji-San did not disappoint us today! In addition, our driver (Dan San) had a lot of suggestions on what we could do. Today was a great day although there is a typhoon happening.
