The trip was well organised and we visited number of different places. The scenery was beautiful despite the weather. All the places we visited, we were meant to see Mt Fuji, however it was too cloudy, which was a shame. But that cannot be helped. The tour includes going to the 5th station of Mt Fuji, however there was snow there so we were only allowed to go up to the 1st station. There we could see Mt Fuji through the clouds. The 4D simulation ride of Mt Fuji was lovely, you could see Mt Fuji in all the seasons. The lunch was delicious with good sized portions.
Overall the weather let us down but I cannot fault the tour.

We did not find Fuji but instead Taiji our guide who has helped to turn bad weather into an interesting trip. We visited the Kimono museum, traditional Japanese noodles house with fresh organic ingredient from the farm (and Horse Sushi I know!) and end the trip with shopping spree in Gotemba before being dropped off at the hotel. Special thanks for extra Japanese vocab and help with contact in Kyoto.
We had last minute snow in end of march witch remained for about 10 or more days in different area in Fuji.
Although we couldn't see the mountain I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience.
Thank you for giving me such nice comment. I hope everything including your business is fine.

Our experience with this tour was great and everything went as planned except the weather wasnt at its best so we were not able to see the mountain as much as we wouldve liked. Even tho that was indeed the case for our tour, it was still spectacular to see mt fuji from where we were.
Our first stop was at the lake, this was hands down the best view of the mountain from my opinion. The reflection of the mountain against the lake was breath taking and it woke us up instantly after the bus ride to get there. It took about 1.5 hours to get there from shinjuku to the first stop. I took most of my pictures here, really beautiful scenic stop and makes you appreciate the nature.
When it was time to visit fifth station where the hikers usually begin their journey, the weather was not permitting so we started at first station. That was noted in the itinerary so dont be too disappointed. This stop wasnt too exciting but it was a good stop for the restroom.
The next favorite stop is the 4-d ride of mt fuji. Ot was near an amusement park so we also got to see one of the roller coasters that is in the gunniess world record, i believe they mentioned it was the steepest drop. I cringed when i saw it! Crazy ride! But anyway the 4d ride was really fun. We were split into two groups and we went first. Got to see a mini movie almost but the ride made it feel like you were actually there.
The lunch was pretty good as well, theres definitely better food in japan but it was good for what is provided. It was buffet style so they will make sure youre not starving. We had curry, salad, soup and a variety of noodles and meat.
Over all it was truly a good experience. If you are planning on visiting japan i would say a trip to mt fuji is a must do!

After reading many reviews some positive and negative, we decided to try this Hop on Hop off bus ride. We (group of 10) started late due to our distance from Tokyo Station. As we got off the station we asked around to finally get to Mitsubishi building which one cannot miss its signage. It was freezing cold that day on 25th and we did our first ride through the first to last stop on the blue line. It was interesting as we listened to the introductions of the places we passed by through the ear recorder in the language we preferred. Personally, I felt I gained more knowledge as the voice introduced the places we passed through in the comfort of the open decker bus. We then took the purple line to Ginza /Tsukiji. By the time we reached Tsukiji, some shops started closing at 1.30pm. It is best to go early in the morning . We were left with not much time to visit Asakuse instead we took the last bus to go round to view the Tokyo Rainbow bridge in the night. It was a different sight when viewed in the night with all the llightings. I am very sure when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom next week, it is a good idea to take this hop-on hop-off bus as we passed the cherry trees which was budding then.
We are going to recommend our friends who will be visiting Tokyo to try out this bus as it is money well spent to enjoy the whole of Tokyo in a day.

My wife and I have been to Japan many times, but we have never actually quite made it out to Mount Fuji. Part of the reason is that it is not as convenient as some of the other famous sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a great idea. It managed to take us to several of the different sites in one day, much easier than if we tried to do it through public transport. The day turned out amazing as we had amazing weather. The only downer was that the fifth station of Mount Fuji was closed, so we were only allowed to the first station, where there really was nothing to see. This was clearly told us at the time of booking, so it did not seem like a surprise to use. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and we would totally do it again just to try and make it back to the fifth station.

I booked the trip for myself and my wife. Our guide was a Japanese lady, Miss Mahoda and a Croatia guy, Mario. Both of them are very thoughtful, especially Miss Mahoda. Throughout the trip, she kept checking if any assistance required, and more than that, she walked around to offer help to hold the camera to take group photo for us. Not only 1 attraction, but she has been doing that for most if not all attraction.
Lunch was at ninja village. It was well organized and ample time for us to take a stroll in ninja village garden.

The only disappointment is we did not go to Mount Fuji due to all viewpoints are closed during winter. However, to our surprise, the 4D Fuji ride was much better than my expectation. My daughter, who is under minimum height was not able to join us. Mario was nice enough to take care of her while we went for the ride, he even bought her snacks. :) Thanks Mario

I was staying near Shinjuku, but during booking, I can’t find the love statue pickup point, given no choice, I booked the pickup point at New Otani Hotel and made a trip there by train.
Apart from not able to get the desired picking point, the trip was good overall. However, the pickup point at New Otani Hotel is rather easy to find, you can check with the hotel staff and they will point you at the right point. I reached there about 20 minutes earlier, and the guide, Jessica was already there waiting for me. She was helpful and shared lot of useful information, go Metropolitan for free Tokyo view at 200 meter for example.

It seemed like a cruise in the snow due to the weather. It was really cold outside the ship, but the factory's piping and lighting were so fantastical that it felt like a movie set, reminiscent of Mont Saint-Michel. The captain's warm and comforting narration was also delightful. It might be a good idea to include this as a social studies field trip for elementary school students. Next time, it will be the "oden cruise."
雪の中のクルーズとなってしまいそうな天気。船外は本当に寒かったのですが、幻想的でもしかしたら映画のセットかと思える工場の配管や照明が非現実的でモンサンミシェルでした。また、船長の案内もあったかい口調でほっこりしました。小学生のうちに社会科見学として載せておくのが良いかもしれません。次は、「おでんクルーズ」だな。

Overall, I am happy we took your bus tour. We learned much about Tokyo and its history. However, when we got off for a cup of coffee on the Purple line we discovered that the next bus wouldn't be there for over 3 hours. Had to take a cab to get back to the hotel for our dinner reservation. Also, the taped message on the Blue line was not synchronized correctly and was off by several minutes. It was very difficult to place the narrative with the correct scenery.
