Travelling from the US, UK, Australia or Canada? Good to know
- Fujiten rents skis, boards and snow clothing on site, so you can come straight from a city hotel with nothing but gloves and goggles.
- It runs mid-December to March only; the Fuji view from Oishi Park on the way back is at its clearest on cold, dry winter afternoons.
- Passport holders from the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists. Filling in Visit Japan Web before you fly gives you a QR code that speeds up immigration and customs.
- There is no tipping culture in Japan — the driver and guide are fully paid; a thank-you is enough.
- Cards are accepted in most shops and restaurants, but small shrines, food stalls and some rural cafés are cash-only. Keep some yen on you.
- Japan is UTC+9 with no daylight saving. A 07:00 or 08:00 pickup is normal for day trips out of Tokyo — the roads are clear before 8.

The price includes
A private vehicle for the whole day · driver · fuel · hotel pickup
⚠ Price covers car, driver and fuel. It does NOT include a guide, entry tickets, expressway tolls or parking.
🗓 All private tours must be booked at least 7 days ahead.
Up to 6 guests per vehicle — beyond that we add a second car.
- • How does booking work — is it instant?
- It is not an instant-confirm button. You send a request at the bottom of this page and we reply with a written quote: the final price, exactly what it covers, and the cancellation terms for that specific trip. The booking exists only once you accept that quote. Slower than a Book Now button, but nothing gets sold to you that is not actually available.
- • Will we be grouped with other travellers?
- No. Every tour in these two sections is private: your party only, your own vehicle, your own host. No sharing, no waiting on strangers.
- • Where does pickup and drop-off happen?
- Pickup and drop-off at your hotel inside the central area of the city named on the tour, included in the price. Outside that area we can still collect you — the surcharge is written into the quote, never added when you get in the car.
- • Can the itinerary be changed?
- Yes. The hour-by-hour schedule above is the version that works best, not a fixed mould. More driving time, a different meal, an extra night, or dropping a leg — write it in your request; the price moves with it and the change is spelled out in the quote.
- • What languages does the team speak?
- Put the language you want in your request. The quote tells you whether someone who speaks it is free ON YOUR DATE — we do not promise a language and then tell you on the day that nobody is available.
- • When and how do we pay?
- You pay nothing before you have read and accepted the quote. Payment method, payment dates and which part needs a deposit to hold a third-party booking are all written into that quote. Nothing appears afterwards.
- • How far ahead should we book?
- The earlier the surer. Helicopters, ryokan rooms, supercars and tables at small restaurants all have very few slots a day — money does not conjure one up. Ask anyway if your dates are close: if it is open we will take it, and if it is not we will say so plainly.
Cancellation and date changes
The cancellation terms for your trip are written into your quote, and you read them BEFORE you pay anything.
We do not post one blanket rule like "cancel X days ahead for Y% back" across this section, because every trip holds different bookings: an aircraft charter, a ryokan room, a supercar, a table with a handful of seats. Each supplier has its own terms and most are paid up front. One shared number reads tidily and would be the wrong number on most trips.
The rule we hold to: anything not yet paid out to a supplier can be cancelled, and anything already paid that the supplier will not refund we call non-refundable out loud — at quote time, not at the moment you ask to cancel. If you want a different date, ask before cancelling: moving a booking usually costs far less than dropping it.
