All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Overall experience: Great - almost perfect
- The tour guide, Hiroshi, was very engaging, friendly and approachable. He shared a lot of interesting facts about Japan and especially on Mt. Fuji which made it very interesting for us tourists.
- The tour guide also engaged the participants to listen better and remember the facts by having a mini game and giving some freebies from Japan which is good way for us to make activity more fun.
- The good side is the tour gave ample time for each activity which is enough for people to take photos and have some rest.
- The views during the tour was spectacular and breath taking.

Suggestions:
- During the time of our tour, the road to 2nd to 5th station was closed so we did not get to see Mt Fuji up close. We understand it is for safety purposes. Maybe we could have gotten another free ride to Fuji Q also.
- Food is good but could be improved. Maybe change the chicken tempura to ebi one since it is more popular and tasty.

This is our first trip to Mt. Fuji and we love the trip arranged by Taiji-san. We have no problem to communicate with him because he speak very well in English. And he tried to understand our need before start up the trip. He is kind of caring and understanding person.. Thanks for making this wonderful day to all of us!

We really had a great time to our visit to Mt. Fuji with Taiji and this is our second time to get our tour arrangement with him. He suggest all the best place to visit aside from the given places to visit. We will definitely contact him again with for our future guests.

Had a great experience with the tour. A lot of nice things to see. Will definitely try other tours by veltra. Value for money. Thank you very much and hope to see Japan again the soonest, the better... really love the place...

The tour was a fantastic value for the price. Our guide Ari was great and very informative we appreciated all his extra insight on the history of the places we visited. We we're very lucky as the weather was perfect to see and explore the different sights we visited. The bus ride was comfortable and the Ninja Lunch was very satisfying i would recommend including it. The one down side to the entire trip was how much time you have at each destination, you must be quick if you want to see and enjoy all the different areas you visit. All in all i would say this tour is worth it for a wonderful day trip to the beautiful Mt Fuji.

We are lucky to meet fuji san. Good thing the weather is fine, we were able to go to 2 stations. On station 5 we were able to see upclose to mt.fuji. Our lunch is in japanese style it was a boufet so were able to go back whenever we want. We also had a chance to watched ninja program for 800 yen. And able to go the clear river in the 8 ponds. We also had a change to take a picture with the old ninja house there. At the end of the tour we had the 4d experience wherein we were able to see and feel on how to travel to mt.fuji. i must say it was a very good experience. Most important is our guide , we dont have any problem with our guide because he is english speaker and fluent also in japanese. He said he is a student here in japan and studying japanese culture and history. It was a big extra for us because he has a lot of trivia that he shared that we dont know. Overall experience is great and reasonable for the price. Im highly recommend this tour for those who wants to be close to mt.fuji.

We had a wonderful time. We were lucky to have clear sky that allowed us to see the majestic Mt. Fuji.

Thank you so much and we enjoyed the trip tremendously!

Awsome day. Our guide / host was outstanding. Very good local comintary and knowledge. Both my son and i had a wonderful day.

It was my first time to see Mt. Fuji and it did not disappoint. The day was perfect weather to see Mt. Fuji. The tour was prompt and it was really comfortable going to and from the destination. We were always dropped off near to the places we were going so we did not need to walk very far although I have to say that you need to really spend more than just one day to appreciate Mt Fuji and the area. But if you just want to have a glimpse of it and see the area around it then this tour is perfect. Hiroshi was our guide and had a great sense of humor and he really knows what he is talking about and explained very well the areas we were going to. The food at the Ninja Village was good, I love their soup and the noodles as well. You can have street food on some of the places you will visit. We were also taken to the foot of Mt. Fuji where we had some pictures taken. the Mt. Fuji 4D experience was something different.

Overall, the tour was well executed. I was able to see the clearly the beauty of Mt. Fuji paired with perfect weather. I would recommend this tour for those who want to experience it in just 1 day.

I booked the bus for a specific day, unfortunately that day was wet. The bus takes a great route around three different areas. we stayed on for the whole three journeys. the audio becomes a little repetitive when you travel the same roads. However the bus was great you sit up top so that you have the best view of the city. the down side is that if it is raining, you get wet. you are supplied with a wet weather poncho to wear which keeps out most of the weather but they blow around and inhibit the view. If I had of known this I would have not booked a specific day but an open ticket.

The sites were good and weather was really nice on the day of the tour (Mt. Fuji, lake hakone, komagatake ropeway) but felt a little bit rushed at times. Mary was a nice guide.

Great tour for the price! We were able to see Mt Fuji from two stations. Lunch was a Japanese style buffet that was surprisingly good. I would recommend getting some street food though. Our tour guide was funny, helpful and spoke fluent English.

It was great although the visit to the places are quite short. They should give emphasis on the places and not on the Ninja town. Well, I didn’t get to see Fuji clearly due to the weather. But I did definitely enjoyed the snow (my first time)!

Like my titel already says. I‘m glad to have the amazing opportunity to book such a great trip with an amazing organisation :) the weather was great and the food was delicious. I loved to japanese lessons on the way there. thank you very much for this:)

I loved it, the JR Sunshine and local tour operator were just perfect and very well organized, we got to cover amazing sights and I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Great day out! Fantastic experience. Tour guides Mario and Catherine were very professional and helpful. The stops were appropriately planned and interesting. Would do it again!

We are 9 persons with grandparents & children; Mr Phang is speaking mandarin, as we requested 6 hours private tour to visit some places:
1. Shimokitazawa Area
2. Ameyoko Market
3. Harujuku- Kiddy land
4. Rikuen Garden

Mr Phang is very good tour leader, he guides us how to walk around Ameyoko Market.

My families feel very comfortable to have a tour arranged, with very reasonable price compared with other website. Recommended to all travelers!

the guide was nice and friendly the only draw is in each spot we only have a little time to spend

Being a solo traveller it's great to be able to participate in tours like this awesome day tour to Nikko from Tokyo.. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.

i bought the vouchers on line, and was told to exchange for tickets at the office at skytree or mitsubishi building. we walked for 3 miles to get to the skytree office and it was closed. we went to the skytree station as the map told us, but that was not the stop. the bus was good once we finally got on it

The tour itself was amazing, the lunch at the hotel was great as well. The tour guide was really really good cannot fault the tour at all

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.

Easy to find, great help from everyone, the sites and the tour guide (Mikita I think) were excellent.

I really enjoyed it! I had a great time. I got a good overveiw of the whole city and saw parts of it I wanted to explore more:))

Everything went like clockwork. We were lucky enough to get wonderful views from both Stations 4 and 5. The lunch was beautiful in a marvellous setting. Staff very attentive, right down to taking us to the train we needed to catch to return to our hotel at the end of the day. Worth every cent and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

The activities were awesome, our tour guide Toshi was very friendly and the coach driver also managed to drive us back to our final destination on time. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visiting Mount Fuji and Hakone!

Although, it rained our ENTIRE tour, we still had a good time. They provided plastic rain jackets which were great and we just stayed in the bus the entire trip around the city. Because the tickets are 24 hours, we were able to hop back on the next morning and actually see some sites OFF the bus. I forgot to print out my online ticket, but the ladies were able to work with the screenshot I showed on my phone. overall great experience.

The tour guides from the morning to afternoon tour were great. Though the weather wasnt good yet the tour conducted so well. Grayline company is highly recommended.

Excellent guide when on the bus, but very confusing situation when getting back on the bus.

Terrible weather, but very happy to see Mt Fuji Capped with snow.

Interestering and flavorful lunch, but we were too rushed with not enough time for shopping.

With total fog the cable ride was absurd.

Very enjoyable, a lot to see and do. Some beautiful sights to see, I proposed to my partner at the 5th station which was really memorable. A long day which is well worth it.
