Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

great tourist guide!

Reviewed by: Diane Lorenzo, 2018/11/15

Our tour was perfect. it was more fun because of Saturo San and the driver(sorry i forgot the name, but he even gave us a parting gift which he drew himself) treated us not as guests but as friends. they made sure that we are comfortable and they are very knowledgable about the tour and about Japan. Saturo San made sure that he answered all our questions before the tour ends. the only thing is the time in Gotemba outlet, I didn't have enough time for shopping. but it was still ok! will highly recommend this to my family and friends.

it's really convenient and more fun if you have a tour guide and a private van especially when you're travelling with kids.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Mt Fuji / Hakone review

Reviewed by: Mclovin Japan, 2018/11/11

Sites visited were absolutely stunning. It is now a bucket list item to climb to the top of Mt. Fuji!! The tour guide was awesome and provided history, language and cultural lessons in a very clear and entertaining way. I cannot remember his name but our guide (bus 3 on 11/2/18) was outstanding.
The only complaint is that we were very rushed. We were only able to stay at Mt Fuji for about 30 minutes and ran through Owakandani. Understanding that it was peak fall traffic, perhaps the tour should start a few hours earlier?
Other than that aspect, we had a great time.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

A nice trip out but more time on coach than sites

Reviewed by: SunSeeker8005, 2018/11/05

A day day trip out from Tokyo to try and see more of the country but be warned - the time on the coach is considerable. I knew of course there would be around 2hrs to Mt Fuji but there is then over an hour to lunch, another hour to the next site and so on. We were a little unlucky with the weather but the submit was visible at station 4 - a shame to then have to stop at station 5 with no visibility

Guide was very sweet and tried hard. It was a good day out if you have time but I would not rush to book this trip again.

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour from Yokohama Port with Customizable Itinerary

Tour of Tokyo with Tom was one of the highlights of our Japan trip

Reviewed by: Robin Olsen, 2018/10/16

We had a fabulous tour of Tokyo with Tom as our guide! He was so kind, informative, and interesting. He picked us up at the cruise port right on time and showed us as many highlights of Tokyo as we had time for, and we loved them all. We saw a really nice variety of Buddhist temple, Shinto shrine, Imperial palace as well as more modern shopping and government districts. We had a great driver too who dropped us off close to whereever we were going. Tom was flexible about our needs. We requested one of the department store food halls for lunch, and he took us to a great one and found a nice rooftop area for us to eat at. It was so fun to have Tom guide us through the hall and explain the food to us. After the trip, Tom sent us all pictures and a journal of the day—so thoughtful! We loved Tokyo and Tom and can’t wait to return and schedule more tours with him!

Best experience during our stay in Tokyo. Everything was on time and managed with great professionalism. Highly recommended!

Make sure you check the weather. It can’t be cloudy or you won’t see Mt Fuji. Take the bullet train to return to Tokyo.
Kids enjoyed everything!

The Trip to My Fuji, Janine and cruise to Lake Ashi gives you a memorable experience to cherish for your life. Well organised tour with English guide made it easy to understand the things. The beautiful scenery of lake Ashi,Gondola ride, and marvellous Mt Fuji makes a wonderful combination. The return journey via Bullet Train was an icing on the cake.

Reviewed by: Jeannette and Tony, 2018/10/02

Overall tour was excellent. Long drive, but that was to be expected. Nori was friendly and informative.
Climate control in van needed to be more efficient.
Lunch stop location was excellent. Participants pay for own lunch, not included with tour price.
Tour stops were not the typical tourist stops, but more local attractions which were wonderful and not at all crowded.

Fantastic tour

Reviewed by: Sian, 2018/09/27

This tour was really great!!! It's with the company Gray Line Tours and they take you to Fuji, Hakone sky gondola, Owakudani valley, and a cruise on lake Ashi. Our guide "Yoshi" was really funny, interesting, and informative. He told us just the perfect amount of information and made it memorable. He took care of us well on the bullet train too. There was enough time at all the destinations to enjoy. I recommend this trip to Mt Fuji and the surrounding area!

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Didn’t get to see Mt Fuji

Reviewed by: Solo Traveler , 2018/09/25

I booked this trip about two weeks in advance thinking all would go well, but it rained the entire time. It’s not the tour guides fault, but was a bit disappointed we didn’t get to see Mt Fuji not get to take the sky ride. The tour guide and layout, however, were excellent! The tour guide was quite humorous and was able to take light off of the fact that we had bad weather. Was still worth the money.

Mount Fuji

Reviewed by: Iain, 2018/09/16

The tour was well organised, the tour guide was the best we had all week, Yoshi was helpful and informative. The weather was not the best but we still had an amazing time. 5th Station was very misty, the shrine there was worth a look. Cable car up to Volcano crater was good, black eggs and a spot of shopping. The boat trip was good, we managed to see Mount Fuji for about 30 seconds and got a picture too.

Mother Nature Wins Out - Typhoon Fury

Reviewed by: Barry Kingsland, 2018/08/26

Mother Nature defeated all attempts by the enthusiastic travel team to make it a great day. Unfortunately we caught the tails winds and rain from a typhoon that went through and there is no cancellation, just changes to routing schedule, they do warn you of this possibility. Every change of plan was thrawted with more wind and rain. Tour guide tried her hardest to make a go of it and was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with interesting information and felt a tad sorry for her and the driving team who were also very pleasant. Mother Nature won out on this one, just a shame there isn’t the ability to take a rain check as our US cousins would say, the weather ended up so bad it was hard to stand up and MT Fuji itself was closed. I imagine it is a great tour in any other circumstances.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

A “must do”, “must visit” and “must go”

Reviewed by: Daniel Tan , 2018/08/21

We were very fortunate that the summer weather was very good; skied were clear. From afar on the coach, we were able to see Mount Fuji in its elegance. A great guide (Joji) was passionate about the mountain, sharing her own experience when she did the ascent to the crater top. That made the emotional connection. The cable car ride was beautiful; it brought us to the sulphur “mine” that added to the volcanic heritage of Mount Fuji. The ride on the pirate ship in the lake was nice as a good conclusion to the excursion.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Beautiful, relaxing tour!

Reviewed by: Chel-C, 2018/07/19

The bus tour allowed us to sit back, relax and take in the scenery. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited and kept us on schedule. Ample time was given to peruse and shop at the different stops. Lunch was very yummy!
We are very happy we decided to take this tour.
A word of advice - if you are prone to motion sickness, please take precautions to minimize it or consider a different tour. The road up to and down Mt. Fuji has many switchbacks. Also, if you have trouble breathing take into consideration the thinner air due to the higher altitude while walking around at the Mt. Fuji stop.

Mt Fuji, Ropeway & Pirate Ship Cruise

Reviewed by: Toby, 2018/06/22

Overall experience is great. Tour guide - Ms Kanako was patient and really trying her best to finish completing the venues on time. The time spent on Mount Fuji was really too short. My wife and I do not have enough time patronising all the shops and the photos were taken in a rush (at least 45to60min instead of just 25min). Should have taken out the ropeway since the cable cars are not so impressive. The pirate ships were nicely decorated and the views were amazing. Advice to future participants would be to take the bullet train back to your hotels. My wife and I got back to Tokyo in a breeze around 40min. Those opting to take bus back will need at least 2.5to3hrs since it’s the peak hours. The food at Mount Fuji restaurant was good as well. Do opt for the meals included.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Mt Fuji and Hakone in June

Reviewed by: Michael, 2018/06/11

Overall the trip was really nice. We had a very good view of Mount Fuji and the lady that guided us was very professional and very well prepared, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere all the time. Unfortunately we've done this trip at the beginning of raining season (beginning of June) so Hakone area and Lake Ashi was immersed in a very thick fog (luckily the weather around Mount Fuji was very good and we had a clear view of the mountain). But again check very carefully the weather before booking the trip! The success of this trip will be defined by the weather conditions! The lunch wasn't very rich but overall OK (hot pot with rice). You can pack some sweets to have it with you.
