It was our first time in Japan and we decided to take a tour to mt.Fuji. There was alot of tour companies offering packages but we decided to take Japan Panoramic Tours and we were not disappointed! Our tour guide Taejun Kim was very informative and friendly. While the bus ride and stops along the way to mt.fuji was superb! Amazing tour and great company. Wil recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Mt.Fuji! My Brother and sister will be visiting next month, will definitely give this package to them! Thank you for such a great time :)

The entire trip was simply amazing. From the time we arrived, Jessica was already at the location giving us our bus seat number. We didn't have to scramble for seat especially when we were traveling in a group. The itinerary was well planned. There was information about Mt. Fuji being told along the way. We were super lucky to have a clear view of the majestic mountain at out first stop at Lake Kawaguchi. There was also a shop selling blueberry ice cream. A must try! Next stop was the Ninja village. We took many good pictures here with Mt Fuji as background. Love the pink cherry blossom trees which had not withered like those in Ueno Park. The lunch here was a simple buffet. Delicious and spread was good enough to fill our stomach. We then visited the Oshino 8 Seas and filled up three empty bottles with the fresh spring water. Clean. Didn't have any stomach upset after drinking. The souvenir shops here were cheaper and had many varieties. The 4D ride in Fuji Q was thrilling. Worth to try on such technology. Our finale was the fifth station. There were snow at the sides which my children had a snow ball fight. Small place but the close up view of the mountain was not something that I can easily forget! Kudos to Jessica and Kim who had taken good care of everyone. Such cheerful and knowledgeable guides!

A nice overview of Tokyo with a chance to see major attractions in One day.
Our Tour Guide Taiji Endo was professional, friendly and informative. He gave us a lot of background and history of the sites we visited.
Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Sylva again for choosing me out of many and for your kind comment. It is such an nice idea to travel with relatives especially when you are not so close to each other.
I hope you enjoyed the lunch as it still is a memorable dish for me, definitely one of the best place that I've tried so far, and I really enjoyed men's talk with your husband.

We were very lucky because we actually got to see the mountain. Best viewing is in the winter because there is no fog. We had a stroke of luck (in April) and got to see the mountain from the bus. By lunch time the entire mountain was obscured by fog. This is normal, be prepared not to see it. We got to the 4th station (5th was closed due to dangerous weather). The only opportunity to see it is from the bus. The lunch was lovely and tasty and a good sized portion. If people on your tour are late you might miss out on some things because everything is timed to the minute. Be on time. Lake Ashi was pretty. The cable car ride was neat too. You're supposed to have a great view at the peak but as I said the fog obscured everything. It was still cool to go up, there's shrine at the peak and the view if nearby nature and the lake is great. You couldn't see Fuji. Our guide was incredible and offered a lot of information about the Japanese culture, the people and customs. It was a nice tour. We would have had a hard time seeing what we did in our own. It's not very accessible without a rental car.

The trip was well organised and we visited number of different places. The scenery was beautiful despite the weather. All the places we visited, we were meant to see Mt Fuji, however it was too cloudy, which was a shame. But that cannot be helped. The tour includes going to the 5th station of Mt Fuji, however there was snow there so we were only allowed to go up to the 1st station. There we could see Mt Fuji through the clouds. The 4D simulation ride of Mt Fuji was lovely, you could see Mt Fuji in all the seasons. The lunch was delicious with good sized portions.
Overall the weather let us down but I cannot fault the tour.

We did not find Fuji but instead Taiji our guide who has helped to turn bad weather into an interesting trip. We visited the Kimono museum, traditional Japanese noodles house with fresh organic ingredient from the farm (and Horse Sushi I know!) and end the trip with shopping spree in Gotemba before being dropped off at the hotel. Special thanks for extra Japanese vocab and help with contact in Kyoto.
We had last minute snow in end of march witch remained for about 10 or more days in different area in Fuji.
Although we couldn't see the mountain I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience.
Thank you for giving me such nice comment. I hope everything including your business is fine.

Our experience with this tour was great and everything went as planned except the weather wasnt at its best so we were not able to see the mountain as much as we wouldve liked. Even tho that was indeed the case for our tour, it was still spectacular to see mt fuji from where we were.
Our first stop was at the lake, this was hands down the best view of the mountain from my opinion. The reflection of the mountain against the lake was breath taking and it woke us up instantly after the bus ride to get there. It took about 1.5 hours to get there from shinjuku to the first stop. I took most of my pictures here, really beautiful scenic stop and makes you appreciate the nature.
When it was time to visit fifth station where the hikers usually begin their journey, the weather was not permitting so we started at first station. That was noted in the itinerary so dont be too disappointed. This stop wasnt too exciting but it was a good stop for the restroom.
The next favorite stop is the 4-d ride of mt fuji. Ot was near an amusement park so we also got to see one of the roller coasters that is in the gunniess world record, i believe they mentioned it was the steepest drop. I cringed when i saw it! Crazy ride! But anyway the 4d ride was really fun. We were split into two groups and we went first. Got to see a mini movie almost but the ride made it feel like you were actually there.
The lunch was pretty good as well, theres definitely better food in japan but it was good for what is provided. It was buffet style so they will make sure youre not starving. We had curry, salad, soup and a variety of noodles and meat.
Over all it was truly a good experience. If you are planning on visiting japan i would say a trip to mt fuji is a must do!

My wife and I have been to Japan many times, but we have never actually quite made it out to Mount Fuji. Part of the reason is that it is not as convenient as some of the other famous sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a great idea. It managed to take us to several of the different sites in one day, much easier than if we tried to do it through public transport. The day turned out amazing as we had amazing weather. The only downer was that the fifth station of Mount Fuji was closed, so we were only allowed to the first station, where there really was nothing to see. This was clearly told us at the time of booking, so it did not seem like a surprise to use. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and we would totally do it again just to try and make it back to the fifth station.

I booked the trip for myself and my wife. Our guide was a Japanese lady, Miss Mahoda and a Croatia guy, Mario. Both of them are very thoughtful, especially Miss Mahoda. Throughout the trip, she kept checking if any assistance required, and more than that, she walked around to offer help to hold the camera to take group photo for us. Not only 1 attraction, but she has been doing that for most if not all attraction.
Lunch was at ninja village. It was well organized and ample time for us to take a stroll in ninja village garden.

The only disappointment is we did not go to Mount Fuji due to all viewpoints are closed during winter. However, to our surprise, the 4D Fuji ride was much better than my expectation. My daughter, who is under minimum height was not able to join us. Mario was nice enough to take care of her while we went for the ride, he even bought her snacks. :) Thanks Mario

I was staying near Shinjuku, but during booking, I can’t find the love statue pickup point, given no choice, I booked the pickup point at New Otani Hotel and made a trip there by train.
Apart from not able to get the desired picking point, the trip was good overall. However, the pickup point at New Otani Hotel is rather easy to find, you can check with the hotel staff and they will point you at the right point. I reached there about 20 minutes earlier, and the guide, Jessica was already there waiting for me. She was helpful and shared lot of useful information, go Metropolitan for free Tokyo view at 200 meter for example.

We had a fabulous time with our guide Taiji. Not only did we luck out in mid December with nearly perfect weather that afforded us with gorgeous views everywhere of Mt. Fuji, but Taiji was able to recommend some great sightseeing as well as shopping spots to us. The highlights included an amazing visit to the kimono museum that Taiji recommended to us that included a magnificent tea room, as well as a fantastic local lunch spot that also included an amazing photo gallery upstairs with one-of-a-kind shots of Mt. Fuji. What an utterly memorable and unforgettable experience! Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful guidance, Taiji!
Thank you so much Derek for your kind comment.
It was a great pleasure to receive and attend your dads anniversary trip. The tea room was awesome and did not expect that all of you will love the museum so much.
It was also nice to discover the grape jelly that I'm now recommending to my new guest when I take them there.
We were lucky to have had such nice weather for 2 days and were able to take some beautiful pictures of Mt. Fuji.
Thank you for the dinner at the end of the day at Ginza.

The Ninja Village is a boring place with no activity. First thought of the place is a Theme Park exploring attraction. Nothing to experience with, just a young girl with Facebook frame posing as Ninja. The lunch is interesting though, but many tourists wasted food.
The trip ends after a brief site visit of Mount Fuji and a food street village. Tour guides rest and everything quiet inside the bus on return trip. No interaction among participants and no group photography session. Everyone minding their own business.

We were lucky on the day we visited. Sky was clear and we were able to see Mount Fuji and also visited the Owakudani Valley (and eat the Black Egg!). Our tour guide, Kana-san speaks good English and clear. She also gave us alot of visitor information on Japan. We did not make any lunch reservation therefore we ordered food from the hotel on that day itself - not too pricey, for about 1300yen and you will get a quite decent bowl of Hot Udon with tempura.
