Narusawa Ice Cave
Narusawa Ice Cave is a cavity that was created after lava flowed out during the eruption of Mount Nagao, a lateral volcano of Mount Fuji, in 864. The temperature inside the cave averages just 3°C, and it is covered in ice all year round. The highlight is the icicles that form when water droplets seep from the ceiling freeze. The ground is also slippery and slippery, so please hold on to the slope and proceed carefully.

It is about 20 meters high and over 150 meters wide, with countless thin streams cascading down the cliff like hanging white threads.

My time at Mt. Fuji
My driver Tony was amazing, he was very courteous, prompt and knowledgeable. He offered to customize my tour. It felt like an old friend was showing me around town instead of a tour guide.

A great time to Mt. Fuji♥️♥️
My Driver Tony was very informative, courteous and knowledgeable. We spent a long day together but it didn't seem that long. It felt like a friend was showing me around town.

Tony was an AWESOME guide
My husband booked our Mt. Fuji tour, and boy, was it a gorgeous day! Our driver recommended we go earlier than our scheduled time to get the best view, and he was spot on. We had lunch at a local restaurant and enjoyed some Japanese cuisine, and he recommended a souvenir shop which had what I wanted. He was a five-star driver, and we appreciated his knowledge and hospitality. Thanks, Tony, for making our trip enjoyable and unforgettable.

Fuji tour with David
We had very good time with David . He picked up us from just lobby in early morning in order not to spend much more time in traffic and every pick ups and drops were just on time as he said . He had very comfort and clean mini van , at least he is half Japanese but his English was just as a native . Really appreciate it David
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and 5 star rating! We are delighted that you had a comfortable and enjoyable tour. It was wonderful meeting you

The Best Day of Our Japan Trip
Our private Mt Fuji tour with Japonica Travel was absolutely worth it We were picked up directly from our hotel and our driver took care of everything throughout the day The itinerary was flexible and we never felt rushe The views of Mt Fuji were incredible and our driver knew the best spots for photos Having a private car made the entire experience so much easier than trying to visit Fuji on our own If you are visiting Tokyo and have one extra day I highly recommend booking this tour It was one of the highlights of our entire Japan trip
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Japonica Travel! We are so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a memorable experience in Japan. Wishing you many wonderful travels ahead

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $485 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Mt Fuji 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 Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Mt Fuji Tour with English Speaking Driver?
+
Around 23 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Mt Fuji 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. 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 Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. 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 Tokyo?
+
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.
