Definitely go to this tour when it is a nice sunny day! We went when it was foggy and cloudy so we did not see Mount Fuji at all. The lunch menu isnt that great as the tour brings you to one hotel restaurant. Average price per meal was at least 12,000 YEN. I would suggest to eat at the first pit stop restaurant that is attached to the convenient store. Me and my BF had a ramen bowl that was pretty good for only 500 YEN! We also ate at another restaurant at the Mount Fuji pit stop. That ramen bowl was pretty descent as well! About 700 YEN. Also when the tour is over, I would highly suggest riding the bullet train back since it only takes about 30-40 minutes to get back to Tokyo compared to the bus ride that takes about 2 and half hours. Overall, the tour was okay and I was disappointed that we did not see Mount Fuji and this tour lasted 8+ hours.

Even on a rainy day it was a good trip, as nobody is responsible for the weather! The guide (Yoko) was very optimistic and managed to keep us hopeful all along the journey. She accompanied us everywhere and gave good advice and explanations.
Unfortunately the meal was very basic and a disappointment for me. I had made the same trip some years ago and the choice of the restaurant and the lunch had been much better.

I participated on a Sunday in early September. The departure was at 17:50. I thought it might be a bit early for sunset, but it turned out to be the perfect timing. I was able to enjoy the transition from dusk to the beautiful night view.
The night view of the factories was stunning, even for those of us who aren't particularly into "factory aesthetics." It was great to see the flames from the chimneys that I usually only viewed from the Bayshore Line while driving. Being able to see them up close and hear the sound of the flames was a wonderful experience. I realized there were so many ways to enjoy this.
I was also happy to see the Tsurumi Line stopping at Umashibaura Station from the water, and I appreciated that we were able to wait for the timing when the illumination of Cosmo Clock changed. During such moments, the captain made the effort to bring the boat closer and even stopped for a few minutes for a photo opportunity. As many others have mentioned, the captain's commentary was very enjoyable, easy to understand, and engaging. I believe everyone was able to hear the explanations without being drowned out by the sound of the boat's engine.
The cruise lasted an hour and a half, which felt just right—not too long at all. It’s a perfect sightseeing option for a summer night.
As for the seasickness I was worried about, I didn't feel nauseous from the boat's rocking. (In fact, it didn't rock continuously, and whenever it did sway significantly, the captain would inform us, saying, "We will sway a bit now.") However, the smell of exhaust fumes was a bit bothersome... but I quickly forgot about it once I got off the boat (laughs).
You will need to wear a thick life jacket for the upper body. Depending on your clothing, it might be a bit uncomfortable, so it might be good to keep that in mind.
I took all the pictures with my smartphone. If you’re careful to avoid shaking, you can get decent shots even with a smartphone! I took photos with both a compact camera and my smartphone, but the smartphone ones turned out to be prettier.
9月初旬の日曜日に参加しました。
出船は17:50。まだ日没にはちょっと早いのでは?と思いましたがベストタイミングですね。
日暮れから夜景のキレイな時間までの変化を楽しむことができました。
工場の夜景。特に『工場萌え』ではない私たちでも十分に美しいと思える景色でした。
普段は湾岸線から車で見ていた煙突の炎....
あれが間近で見られ、炎の燃えるゴーという音を聞けたのも良かったです。
こんな楽しみ方があったのだな…と気付くことがたくさんありました。
海芝浦駅に停車する鶴見線を海上から見られたり、コスモクロックのイルミネーションが変化するタイミングを待ってもらえたのが嬉しかったです。
こういう時は船長さんの判断でわざわざ船を近付けて見せてくれたり、数分止まって撮影タイムを設けてくださいました。
また皆さんもおっしゃっていますが、船長さんの解説がとても楽しく、わかりやすく、興味をひく話題でした。
船のエンジン音でかき消されることもなくて、全員が解説を聞けていたと思います。
1時間半のクルーズでしたが、長すぎることもなくちょうど良かったです。
夏の夜にはもってこいの観光ですね。
尚、心配していた船酔いでしたが、船の揺れでは酔わなかったようです。
(実際に終始揺れたりはせず、たまに大きく揺れる時は船長さんから「数回大きく揺れます」と その都度教えてもらえました)
ただし排気ガスの臭いで少々…
それも船を降りてしまえばすぐに忘れてしまいました(笑)
上半身は厚手のライフジャケットを着用となります。
服装によっては着づらいこともあるので、着用することが念頭にあるといいかもしれません。
画像はスマホですべて撮りましたv
スマホでもなるべく手ぶれしないよう気をつければこの程度撮れますよ!
コンデジとスマホ、両方で撮りましたが、スマホの方がキレイに撮れていました。

Mike Otani, the tour guide, was warm, friendly and attentive. His personality added a unique flavor to the tour. That's for sure! The tour bus was comfortable, and you can safely leave your things on the bus as you explore the different sights. Regardless of the clouds covering Mt Fuji during our stop at Lake Kawaguchi, a variety of beautiful flowers and a taste of the delicious, locally made blueberry ice cream made up for the obscured view. We also enjoyed the little fruits and veggie store there and bought fresh plums and tomatoes. Oshino village was charming but very much crowded that it felt like a busy market. Lunch at the ninja-themed village was delicious and filling. The place would probably be more enjoyable for families with young kids that need to get their wiggles out after having to sit still on the bus for some time. Mt Fuji 5th station was amazing! The clouds parted just as we got there and granted a view of the summit. You can get away from the crowds by avoiding the shops and hiking some distance up the Yoshida Trail and taking in the breathtaking views. The 4D experience was awesome and exciting! You really feel as though you are flying over Fuji-san and will appreciate the scenery even more. Disappointing that the schedule was too tight to allow a visit to the “La ville de Gaspard et Lisa” in the adjoining section of the park. Wouldn’t have minded paying extra and going home a little late for that. We do feel the various stops were a bit rushed and would've enjoyed a more leisurely pace to allow us to linger a bit longer at certain places. There is just enough time to take pictures and buy food, produce or souvenirs. Perhaps if the tour were to start earlier, then we would be able to unhurriedly digest the activities. Overall, the tour was excellent and well worth it! Would recommend it again, especially to families with kids. Quality of service is great and we are thankful for the experience. Would easily book another tour with Japan Panoramic.

It was raining and traffic was bad during our visit. We did not see Mt. Fuji and we had to skip the cable car ride. I think we should have skipped the 5th station so we could've taken the cable instead. Although the food was delicious, I had hoped the food they prepared for us was Japanese and not Western food. Make sure to check the weather before booking this trip.

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners. Even when I tried to make a reservation directly, it was quite challenging, but I was able to easily book through this site. Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

If you are a gambler go in summer as you have to be very lucky to see Mt Fuji because of mist and clouds. Our would not tell us how many days you could see Mt Fugi in summer she would not say but when one goes up the cable car the recorded message says you cannot see the mountain due to cloud! We were very lucky to see the peak for a few minutes from station 5. Our daughter went the week before and saw nothing. Best to go other times of year. Cable car ride was not very good as no view because of the cloud and the temple at the top was closed. Boat trip and lunch were both good. Advise catching train home as only 30-40 minutes compared to several hours that our daughter suffered on the coach because of bad traffic. Catching the bullet train was an experience in itself. Shima, our guide was good.

I was so excited to visit the Mount Fuji, finally we arrived at the 5th station and the journey even if it is long it is quite enjoyable and worth it. The guide is well informed and organised, I have learned quite a lot of information about old japan and their history, and than when you see the Mount you really think is great you did it! And I was also lucky that there was not fog and the sky was clear, but the journey continued we had a very nice lake cruise and reached the Mt. Komagatake by riding an aerial cableway to view the Hakone National Park. To return back to Tokyo I have choosen the Shinkansen high-speed bullet train, which was fast and perfect to get back in not time.

It was our first trip to japan and I was traveling with my husband. We chose the mt fuji tour with lunch. The tour was excellent and enjoyable. Our tour guide Nana was friendly and helpful and she provided us with some interesting information about fuji.
Our meeting place was at the love statue at shinjuku in the early morning. We departed about 15 to 20minutes later than scheduled time as there were a few groups who were late. The journey to mt fuji took more than 2 hours as there were a bit of heavy jam along the highway and this was expected as it was a weekend. The scenic view was really beautiful during the journey.
We passed by lake kawaguchi first bfore stopping at Oshino Hakkai, the Oshino Eight Seas, our first stop. The lakes were beautiful and the water was clear with nice reflective images of its surroundings. We grabbed some small local bites which were delicious and we also bought their local corns which was sweet and juicy. After that, we proceeded to our next destination at the ninja village.
We had our ordered japanese local lunch which was delicious. After that we had a relaxing foot onsen before we ended up at the gift shop to buy some nice souvenirs.
After lunch we proceeded to mt fuji 5th station. It was a foggy day and we could only see fujisan on and off at times. Nevertheless the view of mt fuji was beautiful. We managed to get some really nice shots of mt fuji and also with our tour group.
The last stop was the Fuji Airways 4D attraction. It was a unique and memorable experience. We got to see mt fuji all four seasons and the views were breathtaking. This was the highlight of the whole tour. The feeling was surreal and experience was really awesome. It lasted for about 15mins. After that it was bus back to shinjuku. As the night was still early, our guide shared with us some interesting tips on nearby shops we can visit and what we can buy. Overall it was a really enjoyable trip.
I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for joining our tour and your review.

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

allowed us to see a different side of Japan. We were saddened that we
didn't get to see Mt. Fuji due to poor weather conditions. However, the

guide Mayumi made our long bus ride very fun and educational by bringing
along props to show us. We would recommend this tour to all our friends
