An excellent day with a fantastic tour guide and driver
We emailed Mr. Suzuki asking for an Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour on Monday 21st September. He replied promptly in excellent English, and put together three possible itineraries for us. He also kindly checked the wheelchair accessibility of the restaurant and museum that we wanted to visit. We chose a full 8 hour tour. Due to Typhoon No. 25 "Dujuan", Mr. Suzuki recommended that we move the tour to Tuesday 22nd September. Unfortunately the traffic was absolutely atrocious that day! We knew it would be busy because of the Silver Week 5-day holiday, but everything was made worse due to the appalling weather on Monday. So not only were there all of the tourists who had been planning to visit on Tuesday, but also all of the tourists who had been unable to go on Monday! The famous village of Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) was packed so full that we were shuffling along the paths with little space to move. So Mr. Suzuki recommended that we went to one of the eight ponds that is slightly off the main path, and then he suggested that we visit the Sengen Shrine (淺間神社). This is a lovely Shinto shrine with multiple models of the main shrine around the area, of different sizes and set at different heights - making it extremely accessible to wheelchair users. He explained how you should not walk through the middle of the Torii gate because that path is reserved for the gods, and the cleansing process before visiting a shrine. Then we drove to Lake Ashi (芦ノ湖), a massive volcanic caldera formed by Mt. Hakone. On the way we looked out the windows of the bus and could see Mt. Fuji and other mountains. We took some photos at the beautiful lake, and it was obvious that we weren't going to make it to the museum before it closed. So Mr. Suzuki suggested that we go to see Hakone Shrine (箱根神社) which is a large temple with multiple shrines, some of which are accessible to wheelchair users. My husband walked down the stairs to Heiwa-no-Torii (平和の鳥居) on the lakefront, while my friend and I looked at Kuzuryu Shrine Shingu (九頭龍神社 新宮), dedicated to the nine-headed dragon which lives in Lake Ashi. Driving back to Odawara station, the weather suddenly turned very bad again, with heavy rain and mist. The three of us were all scared due to the low visibility and the narrow mountain roads, but Mr. Suzuki continued to drive the van safely. Apparently he was an amateur racing driver in his youth! When we arrived at the station, he gave us beautiful "thank you" gifts of Japanese calligraphy, created by his wife. Honestly, I had been annoyed by the idea that as a wheelchair user, I couldn't just get on a tour bus from Tokyo for £40 and see Mt. Fuji that way. But the truth is that the service we received from Mr. Suzuki was many, MANY times better than a tourist bus experience. He checked the accessibility, he checked the toilet facilities, he checked where we could get food, and his knowledge of the local area was second to none. I would have hated being stuck in that traffic on a big tour bus. Mr. Suzuki is an excellent tour guide, extremely flexible, able to suggest changes to the itinerary where they are needed (e.g. because of too many tourists), and he is also a safe driver. I would absolutely 100% recommend him to anyone, and we will be using his services again when we visit Japan again. After all, we still need to get to the Yamanashi Gem Museum!

Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.
How much does Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.
Is Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Accessible Mt Fuji and Hakone Tour with English Speaking Driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yokohama?
+
On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yokohama?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yokohama?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
