Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Great day out to see Mt Fuji

Reviewed by: Shu Min

A well-organised tour which was also good value for money. We were on board a very clean tour bus and had an excellent guide called Nao. He communicated very well in English and Japanese and his enthusiasm definitely added to our positive experience. We were very lucky to have perfect weather to see Mt Fuji - time at the 5th station was limited to 30 minutes, but there was more that adequate time for the lunch stop and then more time was spent at Lake Kawaguchi for the boat cruise and panoramic ropeway (which also included time for ice cream and souvenir shopping). We also found no issues with bringing our children along (5yr11mo and 28mo boys). The only negative part of the day was that we did have some difficulty finding the exact meeting point for the bus - signs pointing the way from the main street would have helped us a lot!
I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends!

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Fantastic experience with a great tour guide.

Reviewed by: Gavin

The tour experience was delightful. The tour bus that I travelled in was spotless and Nao (the allocated tour guide on the day) was exceptional and made the day even better. The experience was well structured from Mount Fuji to the cable cars and ending with the lake tour. 5 stars from me.

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

What an amazing Day!

Reviewed by: Jensen

This was a well organised tour with appropriate time spent at each venue. The various photograph points on the road, at the lunch restaurant and from the lake provide a variety of different angles and scenery around Mt Fuji.

A lot of time is spent on the bus but this is unavoidable due to the distance. Thankfully there are rest stops on the way there and back so the maximum bus time is approximately 1 hour between stops.

Our tour guide Nao was funny and very knowledgeable about the mountain and the various locations we visited.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Rather rushed itinerary and poor tour guide

Reviewed by: UKWMtraveller

I chose this tour for the convenience of being picked up from my hotel in Tokyo. The seating in the coach was a little tight but no different from other coaches I've been on in Japan. Unfortunately, our guide repeated herself incessantly throughout the journey and this was exceedingly irritating. I'm sorry to say that I resorted to listening to music through my earphones in preference to hearing what our guide was saying. I booked the lunch option and was pleasantly surprised at the food quality. The place where we stopped catered specifically for large groups and was well set up for these.
My main issue was with the very short amount of time allocated at each stop. The day was cloudy, but with occasional clear spots, providing sporadic opportunities to photograph Mt Fuji. However, with only 15 to 30 minutes at each of the viewing stations, it was frustrating to have to return to the coach so quickly without having enough time to wait for a break in the clouds to take a decent photo of Mt Fuji. That said the views on and around lake Ashi were fabulous and the cable car journey to the top of Mt Komagatake was worthwhile, with some very nice scenery at the summit.
On the way back to Tokyo we chose not to return on the coach (even though we had booked it) and took the bullet train instead. This turned out to be an excellent choice because we were back in Tokyo Central Station within 35 minutes of boarding the train, rather than the three hours or so on the coach.
In fairness to the tour operator, I would say that the short time available at the viewing stations was not their fault, because I suspect that time restrictions applied to the large coaches at each stopping point. In hindsight, I think that I should have booked a more bespoke tour catering for fewer people. Being in a smaller vehicle/group might have provided the flexibility to make brief stops during our journey to take opportunistic photos of Mt Fuji when there were breaks in the clouds.

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Very satisfying!

Reviewed by: Mohamed

If you were looking for a very hands off yet exciting tour, look no further! our guide did a very good job organizing the group we had . We ended up seeing some truly amazing sights around Mount Fuji and some beautiful city scapes. Of particular note, was the Rope way as well as the cruise which was a beautiful way to see Mount Fuji. If you have an interest in photography, you'll have great time being able to photograph around Mount Fuji. The Vantage points are excellent! Overall I would say this tour exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Great Fuji views all day

Reviewed by: Lisa & Lee

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.

Difficult to locate the tour provider at pickup pt, no counter or signage board. The cruise is rather boring, would rather pay more if snacks and drinks can be provided during the cruise since it's a long day tour.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Good overall tour but too little time in each place.

Reviewed by: AMPzini

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.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Short but enjoyable experience.

Reviewed by: Miez

I took Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Shiraito Falls and Oshino Hakkai Tour from Tokyo / With Ekiben Box Lunch from Veltra. Overall, the experience was satisfactory. The meeting point was easy to find because the instructions were clear and there are people from the travel company who were more than eager to assist their guests. Also, our tour guide was very accommodating and very lively which keeps everyone happy during the entire trip. She even assisted me in checking if the Tokyo Metropolitan was still open after the trip because I wanted to go there. We also had a stop in a place which has an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji. I think this stop was no included in the itinerary. The most important thing I appreciated about this trip was that they refunded me with half of the amount I paid because originally, I plan to travel together with my sister. Unfortunately, she was not feeling well on the day of the trip so she had to cancel her plan to accompany me in the trip. I informed the travel agency in less than an hour before the scheduled trip and I wasn’t expecting any refund because I cancelled in less than an hour. But, to my surprise, they refunded me with half of what I paid and the tour guide even gave me the extra box lunch intended for my sister. It was really appreciated.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Rain = no mountain

Reviewed by: Julie

If you go on this tour, please take into account the weather forecast. The morning we left from Tokyo, it was pouring rain. The rest of the day was also covered in grey clouds, rain and fog. We therefore did not see Mt. Fuji at all. Not even a glimpse unfortunately. Although we did go up the cable car, we could not see more than like 30 meters ahead due to the fog.
Although the weather forecast is unpredictable, and the organization is of course not to blame for bad weather (humans can unfortunately not control it) it is a pity that we did not get any compensation whatsoever. Having paid this huge amount of money for a bus tour where we did not even see the mountain has simply been a disappointment. Nevertheless, the tour guide was energetic and nice.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Andie

We loved the tour to mount fuji. Yukiko (our guide) was funny and very informative. They were amazing and waited for us, as we got lost and arrived a little late to the meeting place.
We booked the trip to a warm day, but be advised, mt fuji has unpredictable weather, and it was full of clouds. We managed to get a couple of shots with the peak, but it was hard. The other spots were also very nice. This was our last day in Japan and so we had already seen a lot of shrines and temples, and the time allocated to each spot was just right, as we had a 2h trip back to Tokyo. We do understand that for people whose tour this is the first, it might be a little overwhelming and too short a time. So I think it would be best to book it further along your trip. We booked it only a couple of days prior to the actual tour, and everything went great! The lunch box is a bento box, with local food. We didn't book it, and bought a few sandwiches and took them with us for the tour. For us, this was the best option. You can also buy at each stop, but it may be more expensive, and that may be a reason to run out of time in the visiting spots.

  • Most of your mount fuji photos looked like this. But it's a matter of luck. We would still go on the tour again!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Tour Around Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Raul

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.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Awesome

Reviewed by: Sunny

If you are looking for a convenient way to see Mount Fuji from japan this is the tour for you. Eko our guide for the day was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun driving between site to sight. Her English was perfect and humor a joy. The lunch was fantastic, lots of variety and tasty. I highly recommend this tour if you only have a day to spend in the region. The option for the fast train back to Tokyo (which we choose last minute during the trip) is also worth the ride and experience. Eko helped us arrange that easily.

Considerations: It is a long day. Time of year - if it's a colder month, i might opt for a shorter tour.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

English commentary disappointing

Reviewed by: Glenda

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

While the trip was good, everything went smoothly and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, it was disappointing to learn we have very little time at each stop.

The tour guide, May, was wonderful! She kept tabs on everyone very well, always making to have everyone when time to head to a new destination. She was very informative on the bus, telling everyone about how Mt. Fuji was formed and why things are certain ways. She even sang us traditional Japanese song for Mt. Fuji in both English and Japanese.

The experience was great. Definitely add the lunch option! So many choices and you definitely get your money's worth!

The tour bus does have wifi, but it was not super strong. My children were able to play apps, but not watch videos from it. There is no bathroom on the bus, so plan to use it before you get on at each stop (important with younger children).

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Amazing and well-planned tour!

Reviewed by: Arielle

We were extremely impressed by this tour. It was well-organized and everyone had enough time to experience the itinerary without rushing.

The finer details:

First (and most important): Mount Fuji
- During a clear day, you have many opportunities to see it.
- 5th Station, the Lake Kawaguchi cruise and ropeway all have fantastic views.
- You can buy souvenirs at each stop!

Food
- Lunch was at an amazing restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland. An appetizer, entree, dessert, and coffee/tea are all included.
- You can also explore the surrounding area if you finish eating early!
- You get to have soft serve ice cream at the end of the tour with your pick of interesting flavors.

Efficiency and Comfort
- The bus was very comfortable and there are bathroom breaks during the ride.
- The tour guides (shoutout to Nao-san and David!) were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were fluent in both English and Japanese.
- Despite some traffic, we were pretty much on time for every stop and got back to Shinjuku before 7pm.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Mount Fuji from different viewpoints and have some great food and fun along the way.
