A Mt. Fuji day trip for families from Tokyo
A private day out to see Mt. Fuji with lake views, short walks and easy stops, planned around naps and snacks rather than a coach timetable.
What happens
Most Fuji day tours mean a big coach, a tight schedule and a lot of sitting still. On a private tour the day belongs to your family: you leave when the kids are ready, stop when someone needs a break, and skip whatever isn't working.
The route depends on the season and on your children. It usually takes in the lakes around Kawaguchiko or the Hakone area, with a viewpoint or two, a short walk, and something fun for kids such as a ropeway or a boat ride.
Fuji is a long way to go with little ones, about two hours each way from Tokyo, so we plan the driving around nap time. Add a Travel Nanny caregiver and someone can keep the kids happy in the back seat while you enjoy the view.

Questions families ask
What if Mt. Fuji is hidden by clouds?
It happens often, especially in summer. Mornings and the colder months usually give the clearest views. We'll watch the forecast with you, and the day still has lakes, ropeways and kid-friendly stops if the mountain stays shy.
Can we get car seats for our children?
Tell us your children's ages and weights in your request, and we'll confirm what seats are available when we reply.
Can we climb Mt. Fuji with the kids?
This tour stays around the base and doesn't include a climb. The climbing trails only open from about July to early September, and the altitude and long hours make the climb a poor fit for young children.
