Wonderful tour, very nice tour guide.

Very nice guide, excellent tour.

The tour ran late because we were met with traffic en route to the expressway (was asleep for most of that) and we arrived at 5th station past 1pm.

We were given 30mins to explore the area. Got a free bell, bought souvenirs and took lots of tourist-y photos! It was fortunately a very clear day (lucky us). Wish we could've spent more time here but we were already off the itinerary so we couldn't stay longer.

We then had lunch at a restaurant beside Lake Kawaguchi. I think we were supposed to go to Hakone for the boat ride, but we had it here instead. Since the lake was just at the foot of Mt Fuji, the boat ride gave us the perfect opportunity to capture more picturesque shots of the mountain. We had the cable car ride here too.

The bus still passed by Hakone but it was already nightfall and everything was closed so there wasn't much to see. We had to make our way back to Tokyo via shikansen (which I really enjoyed because it only took us a third of the time spent traveling by bus!)

I guess shared tours aren't really for me because I can't control the amount of time I get to spend in an area, but it was an overall good experience for a first time visitor to Mt Fuji.

We had a great day at the Mount Fuji. The pick up was on time at the estimated point. The tour was good organized and our friendly guide Levin explained everything at least twice ;-)
The first stop at the Lake Kawaguchi-ko was a good break for a blueberry soft-ice, which Levin recommended us and which was really tasty. Unfortunately we couldn't see the Mt. Fuji from there, because the Mountain was in the clouds. Oshino Hakkai with it's ponds was touristic, but nice. We took the path next to the small river back to the bus, which was really nice! The lunch at Oshino Ninja Village was excellent and the garden is really beautiful! We whished we could spend a little more time there. On the fifth station of the Mt. Fuji we were finally lucky to see the top of the mountain. The last stop, the Fuji Airways was pretty cool, so we were able to see the mountain in different seasons and special sceneries.
I would recommend the trip to see something more than Tokyo, but go sure that you'll have good weather conditions to see the mountain in all it's beauty. It's worth a visit!

Very relaxed and enjoyable. It's not a hike up the mountain more one for siting back and taking in the view. It all seemed very well organised. Our host on the coach (Yoko) was knowledgeable and informative in the laid-back Japanese style. The lunch was superb in a very nice hotel.

The tour itself was good but the guides need improvement. It was hard to hear the English guide from the back of the bus and she wasn't very good in following up with her guests. The itinerary and logistics were good though.

I participated with eight colleagues who came from overseas. Although I usually work in Tokyo, seeing the city from an open-top bus offered a fresh perspective. We were able to enjoy the Tokyo Tower's light-up right beneath it, and I was moved, thinking, "It was this beautiful!"

We traveled from the Shuto Expressway through the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Experiencing the Shuto Expressway and Rainbow Bridge while feeling the wind was a valuable experience. During the one hour of free time, we took photos with the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, enjoyed ice cream, and took a group photo, though we felt a bit rushed for time.

I recommend this experience not only to tourists but also to those working in Tokyo.

海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に8人で参加しました。普段から東京で働いていますが、オープントップバスから見る東京の街は、目線が違うこともあり新鮮。ちょうど東京タワーのライトアップが始まる時間に真下で鑑賞。『こんなにキレイだったんだ！』と感動しました。

首都高からレインボーブリッジを通ってお台場へ。風を感じながらの首都高＆レインボーブリッジも貴重な体験です。フリータイムの1時間は、自由の女神像とレインボーブリッジの写真を撮ったり、アイスを食べたり、全員でプルクラを撮ったりと、少し時間が足りなかったくらいでした。

観光客の人たちはもちろん、東京で働いている人にもオススメします。

A great tour, if I ever had a chance, I would go again on this tour
Everything was very interesting, very lucky with the weather, clearly saw the mountain, the boat ride along the beautiful lake, the breathtaking view from the funicular, a delicious lunch
Our guide all the way told about Japan, about these remarkable places
It's just one of the best places on earth

Our guide Take San made the trip very enjoyable and informative. The shrine was spectacular.also the lunch was superbe. A great trip overall.

Our guide Take was great. He provided a lot of information during the day and made sue that everything ran smoothly. The shrine at Nikko was spectacular.

We participated in this tour blessed with the best weather. Thanks to the advance reservation, the check-in was very smooth, which was a great help. While waiting at the bus stop, a bright red body arrived! My child was extremely excited. Although we are familiar with the streets of Tokyo, the guide provided a thorough explanation, making it very enjoyable. And above all, the open deck made the breeze feel wonderful! This alone made it worth participating. We quickly toured famous spots like Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge in just 50 minutes. In the end, there was spontaneous applause from the participants. It was a wonderful tour.

最高の天気に恵まれた中、参加してみました。
事前予約のかいもあり、受付は大変スムーズでした。とても助かります。
バス停で待っていると、真っ赤に輝くボディーが到着！我が子は大興奮です。
見慣れた東京の街並みですが、ガイドさんが丁寧に案内頂けるので、とても楽しめます。
そして、なんといってもオープンデッキのため、風がとても気持ちいい！これだけでも参加した価値があります。東京タワー、レインボーブリッジっと名所をぐるりと周りあっという間の50分。
最後は参加から自然と拍手喝采。素敵なツアーでした。

Our host (Dice) was a fastastic and pleasant person. Took great care to connect even before check in until we checked out. I stayed with my family (parents and children) and they loved it.

It was like a home. Well maintained.

Very convenient location to catch a train or taxi or bus. Most importantly located very close to many tourist attractions as well. Saves time!!

The tour was very nice with very conversant and helpfull english speaking guide.

I like this tour very much. In the morning, I had a hiccup to find out the meeting place and immediately called the emergency line. She asked me to get a taxi and explained the details to the taxi driver on how to go the meeting place so that we did not miss the trip.
Our tour guide was Kim and he was very friendly and helpful. During on the way to Mt Fuji, Kim explained about the formation of Mt Fuji and a little bit about Japanese culture especially about the differences between shrine and temple.
Our first stop was Lake Kawaguchi-ko and we had opportunity to taste the blueberry soft ice-cream. Unfortunately we was not able to view clearly at Mt Fuji as it was covered by cloud. Then we went to the 8 ponds in Oshino Hakkai and it was a traditional Japanese village. I heard a lot about the wonder of Mt Fuji water and took the first chance to drink a youthful Mt Fuji water.
Our next stop was a ninja village where we had Japanese style lunch. After the lunch, we visited Japanese Garden and took a few picture of very beautiful flowers in blossoms as we had missed Sakura flower session in Tokyo. After that, the most important place to visit is the 5th station of Mt Fuji. It is a fantastic and beautiful. Well! It is worth the trip.
We did not expect much on the last stop on the 4d movie simulation on Mt Fuji. But It is very real and nice. We wish we could go the second view of it.
We strongly recommend for this tour.

The tour was very well organised and the Enlglish speaking guide "Minu" was not only very comversant but also helpfull. Your tour can be very well recommended to friends.

The entire tour had been a wonderful experience .

On the morning of our tour, our guide, Taiji was waiting when we exited our hotel lobby. After introductions, Taiji familiarized himself with folding my wife’s wheelchair. Once we were in our seats, we explained that we would prefer not to participate in the hot springs bathing. Taiji accepted this and said we should still see the lakes and towns along the way to Mount Fuji as they are quite remarkable.

Taiji took us to the World Heritage Site Visitor Center where we watched an informative video about Mount Fuji. It was there that my wife noticed photography by Rocky Tanaka. We later learned Taiji and he are friends. At the end of our tour Taiji arranged for us to meet with Mr. Tanaka so we could view his gallery and purchase a piece of his art.

From the Visitor Center, we traveled on to see lakes and ponds which have formed by snow melt from Mount Fuji. Some of the villages along the way also exist only because Mount Fuji is towering in the distance. Mount Fuji is a Religious symbol to the Japanese.
We saw and ate white strawberries for the first time. We saw a traditional Japanese home with a thatch roof that will last for 100+ years. We saw bonsai trees and gardens and shops and fish ponds with giant fish and markets. We ate a traditional Japanese meal in an authentic Japanese restaurant where no one spoke English except for us. The food was DELICIOUS and the portions were HUGE! Then we continued on to the Fifth Station.

Taiji is an exceptional tour guide: He was a very safe and capable driver. Even in the high traffic areas of Tokyo’s interstate, we felt we were in safe hands. His English is impeccable and he is extremely articulate. His manners are first rate and he was professional, observant and intuitive. He has a seemingly unending knowledge of Japanese history and culture.

Need better english speaking guides .Harry was fantastic. Time for various event was tight. Food in Ninja was amazing .

One very long day for us! The travel time from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji is much longer on weekends due to the traffic (so I suggest going on weekdays?). But since it's our first time to see Mt. Fuji up close, we enjoyed it - I guess, 30 minutes seems a little too short for everything that you may want to do there. We haven't got the chance to do the activities in Hakone *No idea how it is there* but, the alternative activities in Lake Kawaguchi (cruise and ropeway) turned out just fine. The meal is not that good, maybe because we had it late and it was prepared long before we arrived - again, because of the traffic. It's very nice that the tour guide is so kind, she really tried to communicate and do favors for guests as much as she could. Overall it was good.

The tour provider didn't foresee the traffic (we were on the road for almost 4 hours) which caused a domino-effect. We arrived in Mt. Fuji 5th Station at around 13:00. The view of Mt. Fuji made up for the long trip, but another cause of delay was some tourists who didn't return to the bus on time. We had late lunch at around 15:00, so that was not cool. It also resulted to change of schedule -- we weren't able to cruise at Lake Ashi and go on a cable car ride at Mt. Komagatake Ropeway. Instead, went on a cruise and ropeway at Kawaguchiko. After that, we went to Hakone-en Park but it was already dark, so we just had a quick stop (restroom break) then proceeded to the shinkansen station. I was disappointed, but at least we had a very nice tour guide who tried her best to appease us with her jokes and trivia. Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo was a fitting way to end a tiring day.

It was great one-day tour. Highly recommended.

Hope to spend more time in Hakone.

It was amazing to see everything! However it was really rushed, by the time you finished the toilet break you had to quickly walk around and get photos, than straight back on the bus to the next place.

A great day spent with our guide. He was very well informed and friendly. We saw so much in our short time from shrines, temples, the Palace and we were even lucky enough to see part of an traditional wedding. Lunch was something we'd not experienced before but was very delicious. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time next time.

It was very well organized, on time and very friendly staff!

It was my first time to participate on a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour. I used to kind of make fun of these "touristy" activities whenever I go on an out of the country trip. Surprisingly, I had fun with the tour! It was amusing to hear the guide talk non-stop. The bus left promptly so no time was wasted. As we drove along the expressway, I loved how the chilly air made my face numb (LOL). Also, pretty citylights view never gets old with me. Oh, and this sightseeing tour made me realize my new fascination -- buildings! Tokyo has one of the most interesting buildings I've seen so far.

Indeed, the experience was great for a person new to the city! The view from the top of the bus is incomparable to that from inside a taxi or car. But, since it's open, the cold wind somewhat gave us chills, perhaps it's nice if they could provide blankets or whatever :) English audio guide is ok, I guess... not really into the history and stories of each place, just took pictures of everything! Instagram worthy! :)

It was the first ever tour I went on... ever! It's a great way to see the city especially for me, a first time traveler. We took the Odaiba Course and we passed through the Rainbow Bridge.

We also took photos of the Tokyo Tower while it was illuminated by 276 (as per the audio guide! Ha!). We were very fortunate that the stop light turned red at a good spot and for an enough amount of time to take nice IG photos from the open-top bus.

The Audio Guide was very helpful and the perky guide was very nice! I would totally recommend taking this tour. I will definitely do it again when I get the chance!

Nice intro to the city, all for a very reasonable price. Seats were comfy and the sights were a delight. Barely used the audio guide, though.

The tour is perfect for first-time Tokyo visitors. The bus took us around the must-see sights such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo's version of the Statue of Liberty and the Kabuki-za Theater (I can't remember the rest!). There was an audio guide that translated the commentaries, which was helpful, but after a while I took it off and just kind of figured it out. We went for the night tour in May and it was still pretty chilly, so be sure to bring a jacket!

Good price/quality, although the audio can be a bit funny at times (some of the descriptions had us in fits, because they were unintentionally hilarious). Tokyo Tower's lights came on right as we passed by, which was really pretty
