Great tour to see Mt Fuji. We were very lucky to see it without too many clouds in the morning and it left me speechless. Tour brought us to the Fifth Station (on Mt Fuji) and we were able to see the top with the snow, it was beautiful! Then we continued to get lunch at a cute restaurant before going on the rope way ride and finish the tour with a nice cruise on Lake Kawaguchi. It got cloudy during the afternoon so we haven't been able to see Mt Fuji during the rope way ride nor during the cruise but it was still awesome and there is so much to see and take in.The guide was friendly and I would definitely recommend this tour! I also strongly suggest that you check the weather before you book your tour to make sure it's not too cloudy!

Both were great in providing the service, and the driver were really eager to make sure all of us had great time during that day. He also took us to very special place where we could enjoy watching Mount Fuji although the 5th station was closed due to slippery. Was such a great experience and service.
Dear Indra
Thank you very much for your comment. The weather has been good and I can see you enjoyed your day from the photo as well.
Looking forward to seeing you next time and show you other places next time. Taji

For the price, the tour was great.
Easy location to find and super easy boarding/checking in process, places to buy food and stop for the toilet on route, lots of free time to do what you want and to choose to do or not to do certain activities.
All in all a very easy, unstressful day. Which is what I find is the best way on these day excursions - and for the price, roughly £55 for the day (minus activities), its a great and cheap way to go see a beautiful and popular place in Japan.
Good job guys

The booking experience with Veltra was good. Their customer care was quite responsive as well. The booking details did mentioned the waiting location was at Shinjuku Center Building with a person holding sign board, however, the building area is quite big with few entrances, unluckily, Google brought us to incorrect entrance and we spent some time to find the correct entrance. After boarded bus, the lady tour guide provided each family a handout and started to introduce Japan and Tokyo. She seems just read some script for the whole introduction. We hardly can understand what was she talking due to different slang. It took us about 3 hours to reach 5th station. Before alight, the lady tour guide just informed us need to be back to the bus in 45 mins. No further information was provided. We did not know what to expect and what to do after alighted bus. The handout that she provided earlier was for the 2nd itinerary, cruise and ropeway and nothing about 5th station. It was a rainy day and was very cold. End up we spent the 45 mins to search and queuing up for toilet. 1 of the family didn't get back to the bus on time. We being 'punished' to have shorter lunch later. The ambience of the lunch venue as well as their meal was great. We enjoyed very much for the lunch. After lunch, while we getting up to the bus, the lady tour guide distributed each of us 2 vouchers, one for cruise and another one for free ice-cream. Unfortunately, we were being distributed with the wrong numbers of voucher. We got 1 more free ice-cream voucher but 1 less cruise voucher. While we noticed this mistake, it was too late to clarify with the lady tour guide as she was left with the bus. We were being arranged to get back to Tokyo with different tour guide and different bus. Overall, we did not have good experience with the services that this tour provided, but we would like to praise for the great lunch, clean bus and beautiful scenery. We hope we can have more time at 5th station.
Dear customer,

We hoped to see Mt. Fuji, but, unfortunately, it rained the day of our booked tour and Mt. Fuji was not to be seen. But all was not lost. Our driver, Toshi, picked us up promptly at the scheduled time and drove us to the Mt. Fuji area. On the way he gave us information on local sites that we passed. Our guide, Yuko, was very knowledgeable and gave us options for our rainy day. Our driver and guide learned that we liked to hike so we went to a beautiful shrine at the base of Mt. Fuji and hiked on an ancient trail to the first station. A great way to experience Mt. Fuji on a rainy day. Yuko gave much information on local customs and the Shinto religion involving the mountain. We then had a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. Following this, we chose to go to a museum featuring a world renowned textile artist who made kimono art. These were fabulous. It was then late in the day and we traveled back to Tokyo. A different experience than we hoped for due to the rain, but a memorable and enjoyable day thanks to Toshi and Yuko. We definitely recommend their services for guide and driver for the Mt. Fuji tour. They’re the best!

This tour is definitely value for money compared to others. You get a bus ride to the 5th Station, nice lunch, boat ride and rope way experience to a look out. It was mostly well organised outside of the tour guide not knowing how many kids were in our group or what defined a child according to the tour company, and that our group consisted of 4 women instead of 2 men and 2 women. Also, I had spoken to the Veltra staff Well in advanced, about organising a meal that my kids could have for lunch due to allergies and they were extremely helpful however on the day, my 10, 12 and 14 year olds were given 3 blocks each of what I assume was not warm tempura tofu. Thank goodness the dessert was something they liked.
We saw Mt Fuji the whole way on the way to the 5th station however as soon as we arrived at the 5th station, the clouds came over and that was the end of that. I can imagine that the boat ride, rope way and look out would have been amazing if Mt Fuji was visible but it wasn’t. I guess that can’t be helped. Maybe the timing of the tour is out. I’m not sure.
Anyway, overall the tour was good and worth booking in the hope of seeing an amazing view of Mt Fuji. Good luck.

Really enjoyed this tour. Would recommend a weekday tour rather than weekend though. We booked for a Sunday and traffic to Fuji was thick and delayed which shortened time at the portion of tour visit to station of Mt Fuji. Also very crowded on Sundays. Tour guide was very pleasant and spoke very good English. Ropeway ride and lake cruise were a good combination. Tour Bus was clean and comfortable. Lunch stop and restaurant was great. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to book a tour for Mt Fuji.

We took 3hrs to reach 5th station and was given 45 minutes before departure. During the 45min, we were only able go to restroom as the restroom were so crowded, and took a few pictures around the shops..no time to walk around the fifth station at all..after that we head for lunch. The ambience of the restaurant was nice but we were only given 45min to finish our lunch..Lastly we went to cruise and ropeway before we headed back to shinjuku at 5pm. The overall experience was not very good as we spent most of the time traveling and limited time at the spot, the lady guide was not very friendly and instruction given was not clear.

Ken and Ishi made our day very special. We appreciate their efforts very much and would highly recommend them for their knowledge and professionalism.
Ishi was a most excellent driver in heavy traffic.
Ken answered our questions about the tour sights, as well as many about Japanese culture. He also amused us with a Japanese lesson during the long drive. When weather prevented us from seeing Mt. Fuji, they substituted other sights to compensate. The Hoto restaurant they chose for lunch was also excellent. We could not have had better, more attentive guides.
We give them the highest recommendation.
Dear Patsy,
Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed our tour even in a rainy day. Though we couldn’t blow away clouds from Mt. Fuji with our breath, as you found, the area has many things that attract tourists around the year such as autumn foliage, cherry blossoms, museums, breweries etc. We are looking forward to serving you again.

The trip was absolutely amazing!
First off the bus that is provided is very comfortable. It is very clean and a smooth ride.
Our guide, Yusuke, was very kind and informative. Constantly pointing out landmarks and giving tidbits as we were riding towards Mount Fuji. His English is good, so feel free to ask questions!
The first part of the trip, they took us very close to the summit of the mountain. It was an amazing view. The day we went, it was very clear to see Fuji. Gorgeous!
Afterwards we were brought to a French restaurant. The food was good. I'm personally not big on French cuisine, but both of us enjoyed it.
The ropeway is probably my favorite part of the trip. The view that it brings you was absolutely mind blowing. The mountain was full view along with the city.
The cruise was fun. We timed the cruise to coincide with the sunset. The sunset along with a clear view of the mountain is fantastic. It was about a 15 minute ride so theres plenty of opportunities to get some good pictures.
Finally, you are given a voucher for some soft serve ice cream. We both chose the lavender flavour, surprisingly delicious :)
We highly recommend this day trip, especially if you just want to see the mountain and don't plan on staying in the area longer than a day.

We had a wonderful day out with our driver, Tuk and our local guide, Yuko. We saw a quick film of Fuji and the information centre then went to fifth station to visit the shrine and to admire a closer view of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. We then visited a local restaurant for delicious noodles and sake. We then continued to Arakurayama Sengen Park to take photos of Mount Fuji with the Pagoda and continued to enjoy the local markets and stalls and the Autumn Leaves Festival at Kawaguchiko. We were able to take phots of Mount Fuji from a variety of different locations and our day was well paced as we have young children (3, 6 and 11 years).
Our day was pleasant as our guide and driver were very knowledgeable, polite, friendly and accommodated our preferences. Highly recommend this tour if you like your own space and you’re travelling in a small group.

Overall this was a well run bus tour with our pickup from Shinjuku. Very comfortable bus departed around 9am and drove around 2 hrs before first activity of the day. While some of the stops felt a bit rushed, the upside is not only going half way up Mt Fuji to 5th station, but also including a few other fun activities.We were fortunate to have a clear day with just a bit of cloud, and got a great view & photos of Mt Fuji peak, which is not always possible due to weather conditions. Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village were pretty & interesting, and the lunch was an exceptional buffet, far better than I expected and absolutely worth the small extra charge. The Fuji 4D simulator ride at the theme park was unexpected and good fun. Personally I felt that the extra time required for the Lake Kawaguchi stop was not worth the effort, too quick and really just another pretty lake for a quick photo. I would recommend a separate trip to Lake Hakone area for this purpose.
Guide Guilia was very enthusiastic and informative, and while the trip was conducted in English, I noted that she spoke several other languages fluently.
The only issue I had with the day I chose, was that it was a public holiday, and the easy 2 hr morning trip took over 4 hrs on the return because of very heavy traffic. In fairness while this was totally beyond control of the tour company and I offer no blame at all to them, they actually managed to minimise a bad situation as the bus driver skilfully negotiated B roads back to Shinjuku and by avoiding the expressway likely achieved the 4 hr return instead of a 5-6 hr disaster. I would not recommend doing this day trip on a public holiday, but I would not hesitate to otherwise recommend this tour to friends travelling to Tokyo in the future.

Pick up was efficient but the time was an hour later than that advertised in the literature, Mount Fuji was great, lunch was fine then it rapidly deteriorated. The post lunch itinerary was changed due to volcanic activity at the advertised ropeway. The lake cruise was forgettable, it was overcast and wind, it was very poorly supervised by the guide who gave garbled instructions that we couldn’t understand The ropeway was left to last by which time it was getting dark and the wind was getting up so we gave it a miss and poodles around for an hour in the souvenir stalls.
The return was chaotic we wasted ages dropping off people returning to Tokyo by train then it was a crawl even though the congestion wasn’t bad. It took more than 3 hours to cover the 70 km from the ropeway to our hotel
