Mt. Fuji Private Tour Experience π―π΅ | Chureito Pagoda, Lake Kawaguchiko, Oshino Hakkai & Gotemba
π Mt. Fuji Private Tour Experience π―π΅
Hi Besties! π In this vlog, weβre sharing our Mt. Fuji private tour from Tokyo.
We started our day in Shinjuku, waiting for our private driver, and then headed out as a family β me, my husband, and our two daughters β to explore the Mt. Fuji area π€
Our first stop was Arakurayama Sengen Park, where we visited the shrine before heading up to Chureito Pagoda. Only my eldest daughter and I climbed up to the pagoda, while the rest of the family waited below. It was such a special moment to finally experience this view together β something that used to be just a dream π₯Ήβ¨
From there, we continued to Lake Kawaguchiko, which was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We also had a cute Shiba Inu encounter and explored a souvenir shop (with prices + Philippine peso conversions on screen πΈ).
Next, we visited Oshino Hakkai, where the water in the ponds was unbelievably clear. We even tried a modern version of ablution by placing our hands in the cold spring water for 30 seconds β such a unique experience! We also enjoyed local street food and met a friendly Golden Retriever πΆ
Surprise highlight of the day β we experienced snow flurries here βοΈ Even though Mt. Fuji hadnβt fully shown yet, it was such a beautiful moment. Papa, God is good π€
Our final stop was Gotemba Premium Outlets, and this is where Mt. Fuji finally showed π»β¨ Just in time before the tour ended! We did a bit of quick shopping and had dinner at the food court before heading back to the hotel.
Thank you so much for watching, Besties! π I hope this vlog helps and inspires you if youβre planning a Mt. Fuji day trip from Tokyo.

Hi Cathy, nice videos and new subscriber. I have a question regarding the private van you rented with driver. Was it arranged by APA hotel, if you don't mind how many hours and how much they charged you? My wife and I planning on visiting Mt. Fuji for a day trip on April and am wondering. I know we can take a bus or train but having a driver to drive you around would be much better since local transportation in that are not great. Ty!
