Wholeheartedly recommend this tour . Tour guide - Take, was very good - informative and entertaining. Both Bus trip (pick-up from hotel), and Shinkansen return all went well. Japanese st<x>yle lunch was great, and overall a very pleasant day (and lucky enough to have a clear day for Fuji!)

This bus has limited access areas, so it might be convenient if it matches the place you want to go, but the frequency is low, making it difficult to use multiple times in a day. It seemed like they didn't understand when I showed the voucher from Alan Wan, and I was made to wait. There appeared to be two types of buses: one that only allows boarding on the second floor, where you listen to the guide's announcements while touring, and another with a roof. There is a headphone jack, but they are not distributed, and when I tried using my own headphones from overseas, I found that all channels were playing the same music. I don't think I will use this service again. It's troublesome to have to go to the initial boarding location near Tokyo Station (to receive the boarding card) if it rains. The cost performance is not good. That's all.
このバスは、アクセス地域が偏っていて、行きたい場所に合致すれば便利かもしれないが、本数が少ないのでそうは一日で何度も利用するというのは難しい感じでした。
アランワンからのバウチャーを見せても分かってないようで待たされました。
一階には乗せない2階のみに乗車させ、ガイドのアナウンスを聞きながら周るタイプのバスと、屋根のあるタイプのバスと2通りのようでした。(どちらかが来る)
イヤフォンジャックはありますが、配られることも無く、手持ちの海外で使用したイヤフォンを試に入れてみたら、どのチャンネルも同じ音楽が流れているのみでした。
私はもう利用しようとは思わない。
雨が降ったら困る、東京駅近くの初乗りの場所まで必ず行かなくてはならない(乗車カードを貰う)のが面倒。
コストパフォーマンス的に美味しくは無い。以上。

The trip was nice, we enjoyed the cablecar and the pirate boat. Went to the 5th station in Fuji but other than a meandering mountain road there was nothing up there but a souvenir shop. A bit of quick trekking around would be nicer.
The guide was very helpful and made the coach trip much entertaining, providing interesting info and jokes :)
The but comes at stopping times, particularly at the Hakone fumes, which made us literally run to see the fumes and get back to the bus on time.

Great tour! A definite must do in Tokyo--- breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji and a relaxing half a day at Hakone. Seeing the Shinkansen from the platform is amazing, and knowing that you get to ride in one gives you a very satisfying feeling that you'll get to experience it. Our tour guide Katy was really great--- very informative, engaging, and accomodating. Lunch that comes with the tour was great, too-- authentic bento box and already laid down the tables and prepared to be savoured as soon as we got to the restaurant.

Great tour, especially our tour guide Katy who was very informative, accommodating and pleasant to everyone. I just wish we could have stayed longer in Mt. Fuji. Overall, it was a highly recommended and worth the travel experience!

The whole package is worth to avail. we're lucky on our date as the volcano's summit is showing her beauty as we near the area. The lake cruise is as expected, more of the nature beauty sorrounding the huge lake. The cable ride up is the most thrilling of them all.

Unfortunately we had a cloudy day at Mt Fuji and only saw a little bit of the mountain but the whole tour was great. We had a great lunch, cruise on the lake and took some great photos from the top of the cable car.

I participated on a clear day in January. I was worried it might be cold since it was an open-top bus, but it wasn't too bad. The best recommended course is the Odaiba course.
After looking up at Tokyo Tower from directly below, the open-top bus headed onto the highway. This was quite a rare experience. It was my first time seeing how large road signs and traffic lights are. Furthermore, it continued to the Rainbow Bridge, and with the good weather, I was able to enjoy views of both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. Since it was a weekday, Odaiba had a rather quiet atmosphere, so we continued without getting off until Tsukiji. We got off at Tsukiji, had sushi for lunch, and then boarded the bus again from the same spot to return to the starting point in Marunouchi. Next, I took the Asakusa course heading towards Tokyo Skytree. I wanted to do some sightseeing at Skytree, so I got off the bus there, but it was a very enjoyable bus experience. If it's your first time in Tokyo, just riding this bus would be enough for sightseeing.
I think even people living in Tokyo would enjoy participating with friends or family on a nice day for a drive-like experience.
1月の快晴の日に参加しました。オープントップなので寒いかなと心配でしたがそれほどでもなかったです。一番のおすすめコースは、お台場コース。
東京タワーを真下から見上げた後、オープントップバスは高速道路へ。これはかなり貴重な体験です。道路標識や信号機はこんなに大きいのかと、初めての経験でした。さらに、レインボーブリッジへと続くのですがお天気もよく、東京タワーとスカイツリーの両方の景観が楽しめました。平日だったのでお台場はかなりおとなしい雰囲気でしたので、下車せずそのまま築地まで。築地で下車して、ランチにお寿司をいただき、その後、また同じところから乗車して丸の内のスタート地点へ。次に浅草コースに乗ってスカイツリーへ向かいました。スカイツリー観光をしたかったのでバスの乗車はここまででしたが、かなり楽しいバス体験でした。初めての東京ならこのバスに乗っているだけでも十分観光ができそうです。
東京に住んでいる人でも、お友達や家族と天気の良い日にドライブ気分で参加するのもいいと思います。

Fantastic day. Only had 1 day available to see Mt Fuji and this tour was a great way to see it. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful. Due to snowfall we could only reach the 4th station but the view was spectacular. The whole day was about Mt Fuji and we were given plenty of opportunities to take photos. It is a long day but I would highly recommend it.

Very nice tour! The shrine we visited (Toshogu shrine) was marvellous. The only regret is that we did not stay long enough to visit the different buildings to which we had access with the entrance ticket. The food was a nice overview of a typical japanese meal. The afternoon was dedicated to the imperial villa (nice garden and interesting house despite being mostly empty) and the sightseeing of a waterfall.

For myself, the only highlights were the Japenese lunch and the Shinkansen.
Mt Fuji was rather disappointing and on the return journey to Odawara station to board the Shinkansen, we hit allot of traffic which delayed us around 1hr 30mins.

It was a good tour but a little bitty too long trip by bus.
After the ropeway we didn't take time at Mount Komagatake because it was too much tailback. It was a little bitty situation.
The guide was very friendly and busy.
Thank you for her.

Guide was fantastic and we got to expereince everything the area had to offer- from the 5th station, to cable car, boat ride. Having the bus to take us following one leg of these trips made us able to pack more in. Bullet train was amazing- wouldn't have gotten a chance since my stay in Tokyo was short, without this tour.

Good that the cable car was included to the top of a neighbouring mountain range otherwise I wouldn't have seen the top of mount Fuji -too cloudy.

Certainly the best thing to do at the start of a holiday in Tokyo. Shame that a couple of items were missed out of the program because our trip fell on a Friday, but the lunch made up for it, excellent lunch and well worth the cost.

It was okay. We did not get to see Mt. Fuji because there was a record number of people who climbed Mt. Fuji and our tourist guide decided to bring us to a Shinto temple near Mt. Fuji instead. The food was not good as well. The only good thing about it is the 15 minute cruise ride and the Shinkansen.
