All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was a pretty nice experience to have opted for this tour. Tour Guide was very friendly and fluent in English. We visited around 5 places with a lot of scenic views of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to 5th Station of Mount Fuji because it was closed that day due to snow. But overall it was a fun experience. We also did some origami while we were riding the bus back to Tokyo and the tour guide had some gifts for us too. There was buffet in food and both vegetarian and Halal options were available. However, the halal option just had seafood and vegetarian dishes.

Wonderful tour guide, Hiroko, who did everything to see to the needs of the participants. She gave very interesting and informative accounts about Japanese culture and history. She spoke good English. Lunch spread was good and the bus ride was safe and comfortable. The itinerary was also well-planned. The pick up and meeting smoothly done because of Hiroko. Only minus point was that a photo of the pick up point included in the website would have made it easier for participants to know where to wait. A sign posted at the pick up point will also be helpful. Would highly recommend the tour

The trip was well-organised and Hiro, our tour coordinator was very friendly and polite. The fifth station was closed due to snowy conditions so we were brought to a village instead where we could still see Mount Fuji. We wished we had the chance to taste the spring water there but we were lagging behind everyone because we had kids with us and needed more time getting around. The tour covered sufficient places which gave us many opportunities to view Mount Fuji. We had lunch in a lovely restaurant with a full view of the mountain. The food was ok. The area around restaurant was really cute and it would be good if we could have additional time there. I understand though as that it was not the focus of the tour. Most of the time was allocated for the ropeway up to view the mountain and the lake cruise which was a very wise decision. We totally ourselves there. Overall, the tour felt rushed especially so if you have kids with you but understandable due to time constraints.

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.

The reason we chose this company was due to its pick up point. The planning by the tour company was efficient. The tour representative met us at our hotel, Asakusa View Hotel, punctually. We set off on time. However, due to unfavourable weather, we could only reach Station 1 with zero visibility of Mount Fuji. Our guide, Ms Mayumi, was very friendly and shared with us lots of valuable information and history. We opted for no lunch but given a table at the restaurant. Really appreciate that! Ms Mayumi managed to arrange for us to view Mt Fuji on the way to Hakone. We managed to take some pictures of Mt Fuji. The cruise at Lake Ashi was breathtaking. The Ropeway was fine except for the weather.
We took the coach back to Tokyo. The drop off point was at Ginza. Ms Mayumi entertained us with lots of hands on during the journey. She demonstrated wearing kimono and making origami. When we reached Tokyo, Ms Mayumi went the extra mile to explain the places we passed by. Really wonderful of her. She showed us Ginza Station so we could make our way back to the hotel.
I would recommend this tour as the company representatives are very professional.

It was a bright sunny day throughout. Immediately after the bus started, the tour guide announced that we can not get into the 5th Level......it was predetermined decision not to take to the high level just by giving bluff excuse of bad weather.
We also missed the cruise bcze the coordinator went with some tourists to an other destination.

We didn’t take Foods but other passengers complained about insufficient quantities of foods served to them.

Moreover this tour is not at all recommend.

Nice njoyble journey in double decker bus at Tokyo.......had fun

My family and I really enjoyed this well organised tour, they were very informative. We love all the view points Mt Fuji, it was simply breathtaking. Also, our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and attentive. It was very cloudy at the start of the tour but once we arrived at the fifth station of Mt Fuji the clouds cleared up, so we were lucky enough to get some good photos of Mt Fuji. Highly recommend this tour to families!

From the moment the tour started at the love statue in Shinjuku, the service and staff was top notch and very organized.

The bus itself was very clean and comfortable seating. Plenty of leg room for myself at 6’3” which made the ride up to Mt Fuji easy.

The tour guide was the best I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Hope fully you also get Levin as your guide. Incredible sense of humor, knowledge, and perfect English. Learned so much during the tour.

We were lucky enough to see Mt Fuji on one of the clearest days of the year and all the stops provided excellent view points.

The buffet at Ninja village was top notch and was surprised how good it was for a day tour. I especially enjoyed the Japanese curry and rice.

We were also able to reach stage 5 of the mountain which is as high as the vehicles can go. The view from here was breathtaking. Next time I come to Japan I will be sure to book again with this company if they also offer climbing/ hiking tours.

On the decent from stage 5, we were able to be provided the boat cruise on one of the 5 lakes of mt Fuji. Once again, highly organized and great views of the Mountain. Probably over 100 pictures taken over the tour.


I give the company 10/10 and will recommend to others.

Easy trip to see Mount Fuji. Weather was terrible on the day but the guide (Mayumi)made some smart decisions so we could at least see it from a view point later in the day. Food was good and all in all a good day.

Yukiko-san was an absolutely amazing tour guide. She was incredibly helpful, courteous and knowledgable. We would be very happy to attend one of her tours again.

The tour was also well organized and run to schedule so that everyone could enjoy each location.

The trip was wonderfully organized and we really enjoyed it. Our Guide Harry was very good.

Great trip. We were blessed with good weather allowing us to visit the 5th station and see Mt Fuji up close, and clear, although it is pretty cold up there (with the wind chill). Tour guide Yoshi is very professional, courteous, helpful all the way. He provided some good Japanese cultural and historical information which helped us to enjoy the tour even more. The Hakone ropeway ride and the Ashi cruise were also very enjoyable. The lunch was enjoyable. Everything in the trip was great. The drivers were safe & courteous. I couldn't ask for any more. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Great value, our tour guide was great - loved all the information she gave as well!

A great tour to Mt Fuji away from the Tokyo city. My wife and i enjoyed this tour more than our 1 week stay in Tokyo! It was a beautiful day in November and Mt Fuji was clear as day. Our tour guy was also very helpful, nice and friendly. We opted for the round trip bus ride to tour Mt Fuji, experience the ropeway and ride the pleasure boat. We also had a great western lunch. Im a big eater and was afraid i would be hungry throughout the trip but the lunch they provided was actually filling. overall, best tour we've had! If i could make one suggestion it would be to spend an extra 10 minutes at each location/stop for tourists to enjoy the area at its fullest extent. I felt a bit rushed getting back to the bus on time, however, i really enjoyed the tour and would highly suggest it

I with my friend rabon from Nepal visited the mt Fuji with the help of CETRA tours package, it was great experience they made this journey very happy. I wish to go again. Thank you

I learned quite a bit about many of the destinations in Tokyo. I felt like this was a good taste of the city. The stops were very short but adequate. The guide did a great job of describing history and ritual. I did the half day tour. I didn’t know I would have to transfer buses after I was picked up but they guides were helpful.

It was a so so trip. Nothing much on foliage. Keikyu Train trip was useless.
Kasuki dam trip had nothing.
Only thing that was worth were Ashikaga flower park illumination.
Shimmeigu shrine was okay. Mizunuma onsen has very very little foliage.

A terrific way to see Mt Fuji and many of the sites associated with it

I think it's a great way to spend a day if you are visiting Tokyo - well worth it

Everything was really fine.

The bus rider, the tour guide and staff were all pretty helpful and attentive.

A beautiful view of Mt. Fuji and amazing places to stop nearby to take pictures.

The lunch was delitiful and they have vegetarian options.

I reccomend any one to hire their services.

It was a beautiful trip. The tour guide and the driver were very pleasant. The bus that we rode was clean and extremely comfortable too. I would recommend this to anyone! Japan is such a beautiful country to visit but the best part was the people as well!

Our tour guide Mr Tetsuya "Teddy" ISHIDA, and driver 林 were very punctual and very friendly. He speak good in mandarin and English.
This trip is completely tailored to suit our family of five (3, 9 and 12 year old)
We were all blown away with how well we all enjoyed our day trip. We managed to get some brilliant images of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended- money well spent

The trip was just ok although it seemed like a succession of gift shops and loo stops with lots of time in a overheated coach, with not much information or commentary. I think one if the attraction s should be dropped because the very worst part was the endless drive back into Tokyo in rush hour then being dropped in the busiest part of town. Who would design a tour like that, deliberately adding hours in a coach to an already overlong day? The tour should be shortened and the end point should be the same as the start point

Booked package tour through veltra.com and immediately after online payment email confirmation received for tour details and pick up point. I found difficulty in locating pick up point, so advised travelers to have sufficient time margin in reaching pick up point, as bus departs on time without any further wait. Japanese people are very strict on time, so when they announce for time, be careful and return to bus before that time, otherwise you may miss the bus on any sightseeing point. Booked vegetarian food, but could not get anything there even salad was having meat. Alcohol are mixed in most food products. Vegetarian are advised not to book food in package. Better to carry your own food as alternate food availability is also not there other than included in package. It was sunny day, hence could see Mt Fuji amazing views and it made our day. 5th station was closed due to snow fall, hence we returned from 1st station. Only 10 min was given at first station, which was most beautiful place in entire trip and this was negative. Lot of time spent for lunch which was not necessary. Cruise trip was in dark, so it was just a boating, could not see the beauty around mountain. Return ticket for bullet train was given in bus and highly recommended due to heavy traffic jam during return trip. It took only 35 min to reach Tokiyo instead of 2.5-4 hrs in bus. Overall package cost was more, however tour is worth due to natural beauty. Lady guide was fluent in English and coordinated well the entire trip, except for time management. Recommend every traveler to visit Mount Fuji, it is must tour if you are in Tokiyo. You can leave Tokiyo city tour, if time does not permit but Mt Fuji tour is must, if whether permits.

We enjoyed our trip and Hiro was very helpful and so polite! We would recommend this trip to anyone visiting tokyo!

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!

Great tour, great guide and bus driver. Tour could have went a little longer at each stop it ended 2 hours earlier then our itinerary stated. Each stop was gorgeous sight and picturesque.

Interesting, fun and definitely worth the price.
Tour guide was very informative and funy and lunch buffet was good quality with many choices ...
We really enjoyed this trip.

The view of mount fuji is spectacular, the tour guide provide a good information of the history details.
Overall is a good experience

This was a great tour, unfortunately Mt. Fuji was hidden with fog but I still had a great time.

The tour guide, Terri, was so sweet and her English was quite good, she was very clear on where we were going, how long we had there and when we needed to be back on the bus. She had plenty of information about building and sites we saw or were going to along the way.

We stopped at a rest station for a bathroom break along the way, there is a Starbucks in there in case anyone needed some extra caffeine.

I do really wish we have more time at 5th station, 30 minutes just doesn't seem like a lot of time. I never did find the Fuji shaped bread I think it was in a shop I didn't get too nor did I make it to the shrine.

The lunch at Fuji Q Highlands was delicious, it came out quick so if you are a fast eater like I am you can get done in about 30 minutes and have time to do a little exploring before you leave.

The Lake cruise was a bit cramped, my friends and I managed to get seats inside which is good because it was really cold outside. On a nice day I'm sure sitting out on the deck of the ship would be lovely. On the ship we got fortunes, which our guide happily read and explained to us what they meant.

The Kachi Kachi Ropeway cable car was very crowded (the ropeway crams so many people in the car on the way up). Once up top it wasn't bad, I bet the views are spectacular when its not cloudly/foggy. There's not much to do up top in bad weather but it was nice to check out.

There is a couple of shops at the base of the ropeway that are cool, we were given a coupon for a free ice cream or 300 yen off of a purchase which was an unexpected surprise.

The ride back to Shinjuku was fairly quiet, but our tour guide had some more cool information to impart to us about buildings that were lit up at night. She even handed out some origami cranes to all the attendees.

All in all it was a great experience and I would happily go again.
