Our driver (Jeff) came from Tokyo to pick us up in Hakone. We spent the day touring around Mt Fuji and were expertly guided to many beautiful locations that we wouldn’t have easily found on our own. We took Jeff’s recommendations and trusted his experience to provide a great memory. So grateful for his time and kindness!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just completed a day Tour of Mt Fuji from Tokyo with Live Nippon. It was an amazing day. Our guide, Haan was exceptional. We did various stops around the Mt Fuji area where Haan gave us the history and some suggestions on how best to enjoy the stop and best places to take pictures (including 5th Station).
He took several pictures of us as well which was an added touch. He brought us to an incredible lunch spot that we would never have found on our own. It was a full day filled with great adventure. I highly recommend this. 10/10
The communication prior to the day of our outing was also great as they reached out to confirm and check in. We did give Haan a tip at the end which he was very grateful for. ❤️
