Mt. Fuji Tour with Shiraito Falls, Soshino Hakkai and Sengen Shrine

Reviewed by: Elizabeth Batey, 2020/01/04

Our guide and bus driver were wonderful. Fun facts were included about Tokyo with visuals. The weather was perfect. Fuji could not have been better. Our bus trip home was delayed due to traffic but our guide and bus driver handled the inconvenience with grace. We recommend this tour.

Beautiful places

Reviewed by: Iris, 2019/12/26

Very good tour guide and bus driver. We didn’t go to 5th station due to weather but it was worth it. We were able to see Mount Fuji from every place we went to. We loved the waterfall.

Totally worthwhile!

Reviewed by: Mari, 2019/12/22

When my daughter and I decided to visit Japan, I knew that Mt. Fuji was a must see. Upon arrival, we asked for recommendations from our hotel as to which tour was reputable and reliable. They didn't recommend a specific company but did give me brochures to look through. I got distracted and forgot the brochures and I never went back to ask again. I just decided to find one myself and luckily landed on this one while perusing in Trip Advisor. I believe Ann was the name of our guide. She has a heavy accent so I had to pay extra attention to comprehend what she was saying. Barring that, she was informative, enthusiastic, helpful, kind and considerate. She gave us plenty of snack and restroom breaks throughout the day which gave everyone the opportunity to checkout the goodies at every stop we made. You can't go wrong with this tour. Having a perfectly clear day was an added bonus. The only reason this is rated 'good' is because at a couple stops, I felt we didn't get enough time to explore. As an FYI, Ann said due to regulations she can't accept tips. So if you plan to tip, you can tip the driver.

Great guide, Yuki!

Reviewed by: Deb, 2019/11/30

Yuki was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I only gave it 4 stars because lunch wasn’t great, and there really wasn’t time to get other food because we saw so many wonderful things.

A bit disappointed

Reviewed by: Mike, 2019/09/03

I booked this tour for 5 people. The overall experience is alright. We are not able to see Mt. Fuji because of how cloudy it is. Our tour guide was nice. We felt we were rush a bit, each stop only lasted for an average of 30 mins

Amazing trip

Reviewed by: Alexander, 2019/07/11

Me and my two friends were with this trip last week. We had a wonderful experience, and discovered places we might never have encountered ourselves.

The guide was also really friendly with far above standard English, and was very enthusiastic.

The lunch we received in the bus was unfortunately not up to expectation, so for that I would rate it 4/5 stars.

The schedule was on time, and we arrived 20 minutes prior to our timetable.

In all we had a positive experience, and I would recommend people to go in this tour, since it’s not expensive in comparison to other day trips with a guide.

Mount Fuji day tour

Reviewed by: Alexia and Chris, 2019/07/04

A very easy tour, however not enough free time in each destination.
The lunch we ordered wasn’t nice. Better off purchasing authentic food at each stopping destination.
Tour guide was friendly and informative.

A really enjoyable day

Reviewed by: Bree, 2019/06/15

Our guide was excellent; knowledgable, interesting and funny. We really liked him. The trip itself was really enjoyable. We weren't lucky with the clouds and couldn't see Fujisan for most of the day, but were lucky enough to catch a glimpse in the afternoon while enjoying delicious ice cream. Driving past the suburbs of Tokyo and out in to the countryside and different towns was really interesting. A great way to see outside of Tokyo even though Fuji was elusive. The view of Fuji when it did come, was stunning.

Great Fuji views all day

Reviewed by: Lisa & Lee, 2019/05/28

My husband and I enjoyed the trip, we had clear skies and could see Fuji from the bus most of the day. Our guide Fuji-San was very knowledgeable. Good variety of stops. The 5th station was really busy, we enjoyed the other stops more. Would have been nice to have more time at the stops but appreciate there was a lot of kms to covering the day.
Good value for money and lots of food options at the stops.

Good overall tour but too little time in each place.

Reviewed by: AMPzini, 2019/05/27

I loved every single place we went to, but it was too many places for the amount of time, it was 40 minutes in each spot so if you want to have time to look around, eat local food (there’s a lot of local delicious snacks), take a picture and maybe go souvenir shopping in each place then 40 minutes is not enough. I would rather the tour leave an hour early or maybe miss one of the places and enjoy it more throughly. Guide was great! Loved her!
Always go to the restroom before the tour, tour places are crowded and you will miss a good amount of quality time if you go in a tour stop. If you don’t have a lunch box included then buy something before the tour, you’ll lose a lot of time figuring out what to eat.

Tour Around Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Raul , 2019/05/24

Our main purpose of doing the trip was to see Mt. Fuji up close as do the others in the tour. Unfortunately for all of us, the mountain was enveloped with fogs/cloud from below Station 5 that we could not see anything of Mt. Fuji. A German even spoke for most if not all of us when he requested the bus return to Station 5 when the clouds cleared a little.

Second, the tour buses in Europe mostly has toilets in them. Not for ordinary use but "when necessary only". It should be a must for all tour buses in Japan for a total tourist comfort and ease of mind.

The rest of the tour sites are excellent and the tourist guide spoke excellent english and spoke a lot about Japanese culture and the country as well.

Beatifull spots

Reviewed by: Solo, 2019/03/26

It was a quite a nice trip, personally I don't like these tours because of lack of freedom. That being said. It was quite good, before you go I would recommend checking the weather on de day. We where lucky enough to have a clear sky the whole day. Beautiful locations en you get to see Mount Fuji in all its glory.

Good view of Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Winta, 2018/10/10

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get to the 5th station because the roads were closed but the view from the stop was beautiful. It was a sunny day for us. The tour guide was really nice. I wish we would have had a little bit more time at each location but otherwise the tour was good. Expect a long bus ride .

Good

Reviewed by: Herlina, 2018/06/03

My suggestion related first meeting point. We are confuse and lack of information, and not manage by veltra's PIC

For tour : the tour guide is very kind and give us information about japanesse history and culture.

I feel spending time per each place too short. We are not enough time to explore. But i know this because we choose 1 day to many place. Maybe next time. Veltra can create better package that allow us to explore more with enough time.
Overall i am happy to use veltra tours

Our day at Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Theresa, 2018/04/14

This was a nice tour that give you an overview of the area. The view of the mountain is a far distance, can say that I've been there but not so impressive. The village visit was my favorite, though rushed so couldn't fully enjoy it. If can come and stay overnight, might be better opportunity to see the area.

mt fuji tour and natural beauty sights

Reviewed by: marianne llacer, 2018/04/04

the view wAS GREAT except the weather covered up the mt fuji but anyway the tour guide is very good she made some drawings for all of us to understand easily because we are mixed citizens in a group. Very friendly n helpful. Our tour guide gives tips in all areas like queuing in comfort rooms, souvenir shopping n all.
the reason why i put good coz we are already on top of the mountain but didn't see any mt fuji ...its not your mistake on your part its the weather. the rest are all good and the places we went thru have only few cherry blossom trees
Plus my companion sister in law & brother in law are not on the same bus and we are told theres no chance going together in one bus but later i found out it is possible to switch from one buses to another.Instead of group go five we are separate into two groups

  • view facing mt fuji but due to heavy fog no mt fuji is seen

  • amazing vie of waterfalls

  • sitting on the big stones of japanese garden with lakes

  • beautiful duck

  • overlooking of the tour buses on queue

  • taking photo to the nearby falls

  • beautiful garden with the cherry blossoms & lakes

  • unmelted snow found in mount fuji near the parking area

  • background of the cherry blossom trees

  • amazing japanese structure with the cherry blossom

  • wonder what this ropes means

  • feeling happy touching the waterfalls water

Interesting tour and very good guide

Reviewed by: Elena, 2017/11/21

Though the weather was not good, it was ☔ and ☁, and we could see only the foot of Fuji, the tour itself was organized on a high level. The guide told many interesting legends, gave a lot of useful information, tought us to sing a song and to make origami. At the end of tour she presented every tourist her self-made origami, and this was so touching and pleasant.

Good experience outside Tokyo

Reviewed by: Steady, 2017/07/16

It was definitely worth it to go outside Tokyo to see mount Fuji and the traditional villages and the waterfalls. The guide was really nice and helpful, highly recommended.

The only caveat is they require to bring the voucher printed which forced us to visit several family marts until we found one where we could print (after downloading an app only available with a Japanese sim card and understanding the process).
