At Hire Taxi Japan, we believe that a great journey starts well before the destination—and when your destination is the summit of Mt. Fuji, that journey deserves comfort, reliability, and peace of mind.
We’re proud to announce our collaboration with Fuji Mountain Guides (FMG), one of Japan’s most reputable and experienced tour companies specializing in guided Mt. Fuji climbs. While climbers book their tours directly through FMG, we support their adventure by providing seamless private transfers to and from the mountain.
Whether you’re starting from Tokyo, Shinjuku, or Kawaguchiko, our mission is to make sure your journey to the trailhead is comfortable, on time, and stress-free—so you can focus your energy on conquering the climb.

Our Role: Private Transfers for FMG Climbers
We’re honored to work with FMG as their recommended transfer provider, helping climbers reach the trailhead on time and in comfort. As FMG focuses on guiding you up the mountain, Hire Taxi Japan focuses on getting you there smoothly.
We offer:
- Private door-to-door transfers to and from Mt. Fuji 5th Station
- Pick-ups from Tokyo, Shinjuku, Kawaguchiko, or custom locations
- Timed departures based on your FMG itinerary
- Room for luggage, hiking gear, backpacks, and even rental equipment
- Friendly English-speaking drivers with local knowledge
- Air-conditioned comfort—especially appreciated during Japan’s summer heat
Public transport to the 5th Station can be complex and limited, especially with early departures, unpredictable weather, or heavy gear. Our private transfers let you skip train connections and bus transfers while ensuring you arrive on time, well-rested, and stress-free.
What Happens Before/After Your Climb?
While Fuji Mountain Guides provides round-trip hiking logistics, many travelers use the climb as part of a longer journey. That’s where we come in. Hire Taxi Japan offers full-service transportation for the rest of your Japan trip, so you can relax after the hike—or explore more.
Let us help with:
- Airport transfers (Haneda, Narita, Kansai, Chubu)
- City-to-city rides: Tokyo ↔ Kyoto, Mt. Fuji ↔ Osaka, etc.
- Private tours: Kyoto temples, Nara deer park, Hakone hot springs
- Multi-day charters and custom itineraries with hotel coordination
Whether you want to recover in a Hakone onsen, visit Kyoto’s peaceful gardens, or enjoy Tokyo’s street food scene post-hike, we’ll make it happen.
Suggested Add-Ons to Your Mt. Fuji Experience
If you’re climbing Mt. Fuji, consider turning the trip into a long weekend escape. We recommend:
- Hakone – Hot springs, lake cruises, and museums to relax after your trek
- Lake Kawaguchi – Stay an extra night to enjoy Mt. Fuji views from the lake
- Kyoto – A cultural contrast to the climb, with Zen gardens and temples
Ask us about creating a 2–4 day itinerary that wraps around your FMG climb with comfortable transport and sightseeing.
Final Thoughts: Summit with Support
At Hire Taxi Japan, we believe that every great adventure deserves a smooth beginning and a peaceful end. By working with Fuji Mountain Guides, we help climbers take on Mt. Fuji with confidence and convenience.
We don’t handle the climb—but we’ll get you to the mountain, and anywhere you want to go after.
