VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

We were lucky to have seen Mt. Fuji without the clouds blocking it. It was gorgeous. We had Tomoko-san as our English speaking guide. She was very nice and accommodating. She even escorted us to the train station going back to the hotel. Overall the tour was really worth it.

The tour was great and Japanese lunch provided was yummy too! Special commendation to our guide, Nana-san! She was well-prepared and detailed. She brought samples of local produce to show us, and all her instructions for meeting locations were illustrated with drawings! She was very professional and made sure we know her guests knew their way back to their hotels after her tour. She came to each of us personally with handwritten instructions which JR line and train to board. We completely enjoyed ourselves!

Pleasant trip for time-bound tourists

Since we only had 5 days to explore Japan, we needed to plan our itinerary well. Thankfully, this tour brought us to many amazing places in just one day.

Although mostly cloudy during fall, we were able to sneak a great view of Mt. Fuji at the 5th station. The bus ride was also very smooth, and our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and informative. The tour is also great for elderly since not much walking/trekking is involved.

The only downside is the limited time to do things. We had only 30 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.

But considering the locations we were able to visit in a day, I would say it was worth it. We arrived back in Tokyo around past 6 pm giving us enough time to enjoy dinner.f

Tour worth doing. The guide was very friendly and informative. The bullet train ride was a great way to finish the tour.

Great day. Had a great guide who gave us lots of interesting info on Japan and it's people on the way. Kept with us right to theto the end

We loved the tour. It was designed well and really enjoyed the view from 5th station. It was foggy but cleared up for a while to enjoy the view. I would definitely recommend the tour while in Tokyo. The pick up and drop off was great and lunch was great as well. Enjoyed !

It was great - the food, the guide, the trip, everything was really good.
So why not 5 stars you might ask? - well, there has to be room for improvement, the bus could be nicer (thats a queation of price i understand that), but why do i still need to print my confirmation, and why do i have to call to confirm when i have paid in full and so on. It's actually quite difficult to call, the number dont work from a mobile phone - du you think a tourist travel with a printer and land line....... off course most hotels offer that, but it's a hassle you can't do everything online, or through the app. But please understand that it is a very very small complaint - the trip was really really good, and the price was low.

The meal was nice and a good variety of Japanese foods.

Perfect tour

Convenient and well organized tour to Mt. Fuji and Hakone from Tokyo.
Recommended for first timers!

Our guide's name is Tomoko who speaks perfect English. She educated us on Japanese culture, how to count in Japanese, and much, much more. You need to have more guides like her, as she is absolutely WONDERFUL.

Even on a rainy day it was a good trip, as nobody is responsible for the weather! The guide (Yoko) was very optimistic and managed to keep us hopeful all along the journey. She accompanied us everywhere and gave good advice and explanations.
Unfortunately the meal was very basic and a disappointment for me. I had made the same trip some years ago and the choice of the restaurant and the lunch had been much better.

The tour was awesome. It was very well organized and we manage to see and do many things within a day. I would say that the cost of the tour is very cheap considering that there are alot of activities within it. The food was splendid and the tour guide was very helpful. Just love it !

If you are a gambler go in summer as you have to be very lucky to see Mt Fuji because of mist and clouds. Our would not tell us how many days you could see Mt Fugi in summer she would not say but when one goes up the cable car the recorded message says you cannot see the mountain due to cloud! We were very lucky to see the peak for a few minutes from station 5. Our daughter went the week before and saw nothing. Best to go other times of year. Cable car ride was not very good as no view because of the cloud and the temple at the top was closed. Boat trip and lunch were both good. Advise catching train home as only 30-40 minutes compared to several hours that our daughter suffered on the coach because of bad traffic. Catching the bullet train was an experience in itself. Shima, our guide was good.

I was so excited to visit the Mount Fuji, finally we arrived at the 5th station and the journey even if it is long it is quite enjoyable and worth it. The guide is well informed and organised, I have learned quite a lot of information about old japan and their history, and than when you see the Mount you really think is great you did it! And I was also lucky that there was not fog and the sky was clear, but the journey continued we had a very nice lake cruise and reached the Mt. Komagatake by riding an aerial cableway to view the Hakone National Park. To return back to Tokyo I have choosen the Shinkansen high-speed bullet train, which was fast and perfect to get back in not time.

Great trip

Convenient 1 day trip to Hakone and Mt. Fuji. A lot of bus drive, but a lot of experiences.

Recommended

This day tour to Mt. Fuji and Hakone was quite an adventure as it
allowed us to see a different side of Japan. We were saddened that we
didn't get to see Mt. Fuji due to poor weather conditions. However, the
Shinkansen ride at the end of the day made up for it. Also, our tour
guide Mayumi made our long bus ride very fun and educational by bringing
along props to show us. We would recommend this tour to all our friends
and family.

Great Experience !!!

The tour was well organized and on schedule. The tour guide was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent.

Mount Fuji Tour

The whole experience was wonderful, we were staying at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel so it was easy as the main lobby was the pick up point for us, after the pick up we were taken in the coach to the main station where the bUs took us to the ride, although being a weekend the drive was slow due to traffic, we enjoyed with the guide Ann, who spoke excellent English, had a great sense of humour and kept the whole list interesting with insights about the places we would see along the way.
Each and every sight was worth it, a great way to see the place and enjoy the ride back on the bullet train which dropped as back to Shinagawa station straight away.

Highly recommended for any tourist to take this trip with them.

FUJI tour with billet train return

Great tour! Great tour guide and very happy that requested return by train! Saved about three hour of bus ride

We had a fantastic day with a comlete view of Mt Fuji!
Take, our super guide made the long trip very easy for us. He was very helpful and shortened the hours on the bus with information on Japanese life and coulture! Thank you Take!!

We loved it!

The tour was great! Our guide was amazing! Thank you!

Mount Fuji tour without mount Fuji view

Not anybody fault, but Mount Fuji was 'hiding' when we had this tour, because its cloudy.
A couple of delay happened (the longest because a couple of participants opt to buy their own lunch and its took a long time for the rest to prepare). Perhaps there shd be any warning before for participants, so they are prepared (ie. Bring their own lunch).

Not able to go beyond the 1st station

Unfortunately the weather was not great, hence we only made it to 1st station.

Managed to catch a glimpse of Mt Fuji from the tour bus when the clouds cleared a little in the afternoon.

Weather was also misty when we were on the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway - hence views were not promising and the cable car was jam packed.

But the tour guide was very good - spoke excellent English and was very helpful catering to > 40 paxes. Ichiban on his service

I found the whole experience very simple and straightforward with all the required information being easily to hand. I would definitely recommend this site for ease of use and clarity of information.

Wonderful Mt.fuji tour!

This was my first time going to Mt.fuji, we departed from Shinjuku, the meeting place was easy to find (even for someone who doesn't know Japanese). We arrived at the fifth station at around 11:30, the bus was comfortable so I was basically sleeping all the way to Mt. fuji. The weather was really nice, so I could clearly see Mt.fuji, lucky haha! We had an English speaking guide on that day, she is very kind and can speak good English. I am planning to go Mt. fuji again sometime during the autumn, and will definitely join this tour again!!

Good service

Mayumi did a great job in handling the condition on a bad weather condition. Everything was good, and if you havent tried veltra, you should, they are reliable

Lots of opportunities to see great views of Fuji

This tour will offer you loads of opportunities to see Mt. Fuji, and in a clear weather you should be able to enjoy magnificent views. On the day I went the weather was not perfect but still managed to catch a few glimpses of the mountain.

According to our guide we were very lucky to be able to go to the 5th Station, as in winter the road is often closed due to the snow fall. At the 5th station you can admire the panoramic view of the 'Japanese Alps' and of course the top of Fuji itself. There is also a big souvenir shop where you can get some nice gifts or a snack (try Fuji-shaped melon pan!).

After that we were transferred to the restaurant for lunch - it was a Japanese style meal and really delicious! People who didn't book lunch had some free time to eat their own lunch or buy something at the spot (there was a small bakery).

Our next stop was Hakone and a picturesque Ashi lake cruise to the reopeway station. I imagine that on a clear day the view from the ropeway would be amazing, but during our trip we were welcomed by a little snow storm, so we couldn't see much. Mt. Komagatake however was really great, really enjoyed a short hike to the shrine at the top.

The guide was super nice, kept us entertained on the us and provided some interesting information as well.

Overall it was a very nice tour and well organised tour and despite of the fact that the weather was not perfect, it was a nice day out of Tokyo.

It was very well organized with good customer service, I will go back to this company for my next tour to Kyota, Mount Fuji your was great!

Mount Fuji tour

This daily tour is very sufficient. Managed to go to station 5 at Mount Fuji but abit Rush.
The lunch package is very fulfilling. The variety of traditional Japanese lunch is good.

Very good and well organised tour..I liked it and would like to comeback again with family
