A bespoke private full-day journey to Japan's most iconic landscape — Mt. Fuji and the volcanic wonders of Hakone. Your licensed guide collects you dockside for an unhurried, deeply personal encounter with Japan's sacred peak.
What to expect
Your guide meets you directly at Shimizu Port and escorts you in a private vehicle through the Fuji Five Lakes region, stopping at the most photogenic viewpoints of the sacred volcano. You'll visit the torii gate of Hakone Shrine rising from Lake Ashi before exploring the sulphurous steam vents of Owakudani. The pace is entirely yours — a genuine luxury rarely available on group excursions. Every detail, from entry tickets to insider commentary on Shinto traditions, is handled for you.
Good to know
Book well in advance — private guides fill quickly on cruise call days. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time with your guide (typically 17:00–18:00); the tour is designed to return you with ample time. Fuji visibility is weather-dependent; a morning departure maximises clear views before afternoon cloud build-up.
