Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Asakusa or Ginza

I would not recommend this tour

Reviewed by: JennaR

I would not recommend this tour. The amount of time spent on Mount Fuji was under 20 minutes. You can do absolutely nothing on the mountain in this time. You would have to pick either to quickly shop (without enough time to look around and decide what you want) or take photos. It is impossible to do both! I wanted to mail a postcard from the post office on Fuji but I barely had enough time to buy the postcard and didn't have the opportunity to mail it (which is all of the fun!). Isn't being on Mount Fuji the highlight of the tour? Why don't you let people spend time there then? The rest of the tour seemed like "filler" activities. Also, it got really cloudy in the afternoon so we saw nothing the rest of the tour. Honestly, my family and I say "skip it." This tour sucks.

Mt. Fuji and Aokigahara Adventure Tour from Tokyo

The Forest was the main highlight for me

Reviewed by: Nick

I would recommend going on this tour in winter, as the ice cave will not have its iconic icicles in autumn.

The forest was absolutely stunning and our tour guide encouraged us to swing from grape vines and explore the area

Make sure to wear a good pair of outdoor shoes. I wore hiking shoes and they came in handy quite a few times in both the cave and the forest

2-Day Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Yumoto Fujiya Hotel Accommodation

Dependent on traffic conditions and a little rushed

Reviewed by: Nick

The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke good English; however, the traffic on my particular day was bad due to a public holiday which caused our tip to change in order to accommodate the new timeline.

The time at Fuji is a bit too short regardless of the traffic situation, but it was still a decent way to learn about the mountain and get into Hakone.

I strongly recommend staying overnight in a Hakone and it is absolutely gorgeous and there is a lot you can do on your own

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

Wonderful guide, beautiful tour

Reviewed by: Yuvalal

I was very happy with this tour. Everything was very well organized, and exactly as advertised. The views were spectacular. The guide, Yoshi, was very professional. Gave us a lot of information on Mount Fuji, and on Japan in general. At each step (sight-seeing, ropeway, boat ride) we got very clear instructions, and it enabled everything to run smoothly. As a one-day tour, this is as good as it gets. For those who would like to take it easy and see more of Hakuna, probably I would recommend to do it on their own and stay at least one night in Hakuna.

Reviewed by: Ellen M

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 Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Only The Best

Reviewed by: Ronnie Libramonte

I did not expect much from this tour since it's only 1 day and almost half was spent for pick up and driving to Mt Fuji, But Eriko-san (our Tour Guide) made it a better experienced. The knowledge and the delivery that she brought was amazing. The stopover although short was good, the lunch and the service was above than expected. Of course everything was done in a hurry but everything is worth it. I am with my son and wife but I know they are all listening to Eriko-san. Even on the way back to Tokyo Eriko-san still take care of us. Thank You very much.

Perfect Day at Mt. Fuji

Reviewed by: Aileen

This was a great tour that would be highly recommended. Although we were only able to get up to the 4th station at Mt. Fuji, the view was clear and unobstructed the whole time we were on the tour, which is highly unusual. The view from Owakudani was especially beautiful! Our tour guide, Eiko, was very knowledgeable and funny, sharing lots of useful extra information that tourists may not otherwise know. Lunch in Gotemba was excellent, especially the tasty manju dessert! I had to buy a box to take home.

It would have great if the bus stops near to international restaurant rather than local ones.
It becomes difficult to manage the food.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Below expectations

Reviewed by: Rimsha

The only reason I gave this two stars is because our tour guide was really nice and friendly. Everything else was horrible. I assumed the bus would stop at some nice locations where the tourists could get some good pictures of Mt. Fuji; it did not. We stopped at the tourist center which has an observation deck, but no really nice views of Fuji Then we were supposed to go up to the 5th station however due to snow we sopped at the 1st station of Myt. Fuji... again in a spot where you could barely get any pictures because the trees were towering over (plus there were about another 25 tourist buses that stopped at the same location and at the same time, so it was crazy)... Then we headed down for lunch which was poor but the location was nice. We had to eat super fast (40 minutes) and get back to the bus; couldn't explore the location.. this last part was where the remainder of the 2 starts come from: stopped in Hakone, a super rushed boat ride (10 mins) on Lake Ashi and then a ropeway to the summit of Mt. Komagatake... (to spend 25 minutes) and be rushed back down. There was a nice shrine on top of the Mountain but you'd have to rush up there and take pics and get back down hoping you still have enough time to get some snacks for the ride back and maybe get a souvenir or tow.

Over all, they should just take "Mt Fuji" out of the title because we didn't see it. It was an amazingly clear day but the bus didn't stop at nice locations to snap pics... the only nice pics i took were while we were ON the bus, and of course those didn't turn out nice as the bus was moving. I wouldn't recommend this.

Hakone shrine from the ropeway, you'd have to get there and back down in 30-35 minutes.

I thought everything about the trip was great! The tour guide was fantastic and very attentive and knowledgeable. The only criticism I have is that there was more travelling than sightseeing. I understand that Nikko is quite far from Tokyo but would rather have had a bit longer in the 3 locations and less travel if it meant staying overnight even. Otherwise a worthwhile trip!

When we booked a Mt fuji tour we'd only expect to go near the Mount and probably one more place, and some random English guide.
But it turned out completely different. The guide is really kind and energetic, explains quite a lot about Mt fuji and Japan overall aswell.
The tour takes a few hours and you get to see several places aside Mt fuji. Falls and ponds are a great addition to the whole experience.
Would definetly advice anyone that wants to know Mt fuji and the area around it to take this tour, we'd have never knew the places we did if it wasn't for this.

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary

great tourist guide!

Reviewed by: Diane Lorenzo

Our tour was perfect. it was more fun because of Saturo San and the driver(sorry i forgot the name, but he even gave us a parting gift which he drew himself) treated us not as guests but as friends. they made sure that we are comfortable and they are very knowledgable about the tour and about Japan. Saturo San made sure that he answered all our questions before the tour ends. the only thing is the time in Gotemba outlet, I didn't have enough time for shopping. but it was still ok! will highly recommend this to my family and friends.

it's really convenient and more fun if you have a tour guide and a private van especially when you're travelling with kids.

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.
