Fly into Haneda, get tracked for delays, and reach central Tokyo in a clean, air-conditioned car with English support and easy pickup.
“The driver was late to pick us up due to traffic which is understandable however we did book it for a specific time. We then heard that our driver was in a car crash in the parking lot so we had to wait for an additional driver to come and pick us up. It was over an hour after our initial pick up time. We got to the hotel safe and sound though.”

“Avoid and pay a little extra for another operator that actually provides a better and actual guided tour. Read bad reviews … I doubt that these clients including myself would lie about the bad experience, rather to warn everyone else and prevent you from making the same mistake … since Viator won’t. Firstly, not a guided tour, it’s dropping you off to 6 sites and suggesting what you can do e.g. riding a speed boat or getting on the ropeway cable car. Next, you have the “chauffeur” for ten hours … looking at the detailed itinerary, each site has 30mins to 1 hour allotment but that does not include you…”
Private Mt Fuji day trip from Tokyo with hotel pickup. Visit 5th Station, lakes, shrines, and ice caves with an English driver guide.
“Our driver Prince was on time and was in contact before arriving. He showed up happy and enthusiastic even though the day was gloomy and I wasn't very optimistic on our chances of getting a good view. He was informative on all the sites and gave us a detailed tour on the sites we visited. Unfortunately the clouds only broke for 2 minutes and Prince jumped on it to snap a quick photo of what we could see. He was also very attentive and took amazing photos of us through out the day. Hopefully we can come back soon and try again. Recommend this tour because the convenience of a…”
Private Mt. Fuji day trip from Tokyo with an English speaking driver, 5th Station views, Lake Kawaguchiko, Oshino Hakkai, and optional outlets.
“Excellent trip! Shiro was amazing — he somehow managed to avoid all of the traffic and crowds and we had a perfectly clear view of the peak from every spot. I don’t think he controlled the weather, but it was perfect. He was very knowledgeable about all of the local areas and general Japanese history, as well! Highly recommend.”

“The driver, Vicky, was very accommodating. We were able to provide our itinerary and he was able to help create the best routes and made suggestions of places to visit. We were able to hit all the places we wanted to and he was also a great photographer!”
Flight-tracked private transfer from Narita to central Tokyo, with meet options, spacious cars, bottled water, and 24/7 support.
“Communication is smooth and clear. Pickup was seamless. I’m glad we opt for this transfer instead of the hassle of waiting and looking for a transportation from Narita to Tokyo.”

“We booked this company because we were coming from a long international flight and wanted an easy solution for finding our way to the Hotel. This served our needs perfectly. Our flight was actually delayed by 2 hours and the driver kept track of the delay and was still there right on time as soon we got our bags. Very professional!”

“Booking with Viator for our travel from the airport to our airbnb and vice versa was one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Japan. Traveling with 8 people including myself and our multiple luggages, we were so worried how we’d get to our destination. However, Viator solved that problem for us. It was convenient and their staff are professional and courteous. They arrived before our scheduled time and waited for us, helped us with our luggages and took us to our destination without any hassles. We would definitely book with them again in the future and we highly recommend them especially if you’re traveling in a…”
