Good Tour

Reviewed by: Chaitanya Kartheek , 2020/01/12

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

Good day trip from Tokyo

Reviewed by: Leong, 2019/12/06

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Good Trip

Reviewed by: Laura Vanegas, 2019/06/18

The tour was good. I enjoyed.
I like that during the bus the guide was talking about some interesting things about Japan.
During the Cruise in Lake Ashi, you only can see Mt. Fuji almost when you have to leave de ship. I think this is not a good lake, a better one its the lake next to the Ashi Lake.
The lunch was very tasty but too small. I could eat more.
They have no pick up and drop off service from Asakusa area.
The tour was OK.

Mt Fuji Tour, Lunch and Cruise on Lake Ashi

Reviewed by: JohnG, 2019/05/07

We had a long bus ride to Mt Fuji but were disappointed the clouds came in and covered the mountain. We could only get to Level 2 as there was too much congestion and traffic higher up at Level 4. Our lunch was a wonderful selection of local dishes and the cruise on the Pirate Ship on Lake Ashi was crowded and chilly but fun to be part of.

  • Our first glimpse of Mt Fiji

  • The she was gone and stayed hidde all day

  • At least we were there and got to see it

  • Our interesting and tasty lunch

  • We were luck to drive through streets lined with the cherry trees still in flower

  • Marion always like to make a new friend

  • John with one of the eggs cooked in the hot sulphur springs

Mt Fuji day trip with hotel pick-up

Reviewed by: Judy, 2019/05/05

The trip was generally good and was saved from an OK rating by actually seeing Mt Fuji from the bus and the first stop. After that we drove to the other side of the mountain where it was covered by cloud and we didn't see it again all day. (Cloudy weather can't be helped but guide said "we are driving to the other side as it is less crowded".) Everything ran on time but better explanation of how to manage Japanese lunch (our first such experience) would have been appreciated. Cruise on Lake Ashi was picturesque but boat was very crowded with standing room only for some guests.

Overall a good tour apart from the Lake Ashi tour

Reviewed by: WLN, 2019/04/03

Staff service was very good even prior to the start of the tour. At pickup point staff made sure we were at the right tour and everyone was on board. On the actual tour bus the guide talk about the different sights in Tokyo city before we got out of the city, and through out the drive to Mt. Fuji provide us with various cultural and scenic information. We had a good view of Mt Fuji, even though we did not get to the 5th Station. The ropeway ride was also good and well guide but the tour guide to make sure we got on board. The disappointing part was the boat ride on Lake Ashi - since our tour was part of a larger group of people, too many in our opinion as we had no place to sit down and had to stand in several crowded areas until we reach the other side. So we had no commentary about the Lake and it surrounds, so basically it was just a ferry ride to the other side of the lake. The guide look after us during lunch and had a place for us to sit even though we did not get a lunch package, and finally made sure we got the the Odawara Station OK and directed us to the correct train and platform.

Mount Fuji

Reviewed by: Sara , 2019/03/15

Overall was very impressed with the day trip. Coach was comfortable and didn't feel like the journeys were too long overall. Host was very nice and informative.

Only two slight downsides to note was that we went for the 'no set lunch option' thinking there would be a shop to purchase food from or the option to pay for lunch when we got there but neither was correct.

Also, slightly surprised we did not get closer to Fuji.

Overall would definitely recommend.

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Ellen M, 2018/11/29

We had a great experience, and Hitomi, the tour guide, was very good. We were fortunate to have good weather and had great views of Fujisan. My only knock on the tour was the stop at the sulpher area. We were there for too long and it just wasn’t that interesting. I’d much rather spend more time on Mt. Fuji. Otherwise, the bus was comfortable and the trip was well worth it.

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 and Hakone Tour

Reviewed by: Jaypee, 2018/10/12

I will rate it 5 stars/outstanding if the weather in mt fuji were good but it was foggy/cloudy that day. Thanks to our tour guide mr.yoshi of japan gray line, he tried his best making our tour enjoyable though the weather was not favorable for us to see mt fuji. We enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended.

  • Cloudy/foggy Mt fuji 5th station

  • Funny thing our tour guide showed us a mt fuji origami saying that mt fuji was there but we can’t see due to fog.

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.

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.

convenient, comfortable

Reviewed by: Travel with elderly, 2018/08/19

Perfect quick tour if looking for brief sight-seeing on time constrain. Also suitable for elderly with limited mobility as walking is minimal (location sight-seeing is self-paced). 2 drivers provided for safe-driving for comfortable long distance coach/bus trip. Tour guide, Michika was informative, engaging and clear with instructions.

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 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.

No view of Mt. Fuji due to weather condition

Reviewed by: Karen Ann, 2018/05/29

Yoshi-san is a very good tour guide and speaks english. We’re a bit unlucky to get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji from station 5. Yoshi-san allowed us to make a short stop at station 4 where we saw the tip of Mt. Fuji.

Got a better view or Mt. Fuji at the Gotemba area. Lunch is so-so although the Tempura is oishi! Cruise at Lake Ashi is breathtakingly beautiful (if you like scenic view). The cable car ride is a bit disppointing (we were diverted to a different cable car ride because the original ride from the itenerary had some technical issues). Again it was foggy from the top so there’s really nothing to see.

In general it was a 50-50 experience although it was nobody’s fault since you need to consider the weather condition before booking this tour!

Good experience

Reviewed by: Ashok, 2018/04/23

Me and my wife took this trip. It was well organised . Our tour guide spoke English and was funny. Although all the activities listed were covered there was hardly any time to relax and enjoy the moment. Except the boat cruise. The journey itself takes most of the time
So can’t complain much. The lunch was Japanese cusine it was a nice experience.

Mt Fuji, Hakone and Lake Asshi, with lunch

Reviewed by: RITA L OSBORN, 2018/04/20

This was a very long day out.
The mountain was covered in cloud. We were greeted with snow, at the 5th step.
Lots of driving.
Lunch was fair.
It was dull and wet at the lake, which spoiled the experience.
The ride on the rope car was high and fun.

Waiting for others was a pain. We didn't arrive back at our hotel until very late.
A good experience, which looked better on TV.

We saw better views in Shimitzu on another tour, from our cruise ship..

Mt Fuji, Hakone and Cruise on Lake Ashi

Reviewed by: Will Quek, 2018/04/12

Overall it was a great day. Our guide, George was great but a single day trip is not enough for Mt Fuji due to the travelling time. We spent full 5 days (excluding 1 day for Mt Fuji and 2 travelling days) in Toyko and there is still much to do with the museums, parks and especially the culture.

If you really want to visit Mt Fuji, I would suggest spending the night to enjoy the magnificient Mt Fuji, onsen and mother nature.

Reviewed by: David, 2018/04/06

I had a perfect day to visit Mt. Fuji. We got to photograph it from different angles with excellent results. Lunch was OK, but the time spent in Hakone and the cruise were pretty much a waste of time. If you can find a half day (morning) trip to Fuji, I would recommend you take it.
