Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Fantastic day trip!

Reviewed by: Celeste, 2019/08/15

We had not anticipated just how difficult it would be to get around Tokyo. This day trip gave us the opportunity to relax in a comfortable bus, and see the beautiful sights. We would most definitely do this tour again.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Very rushed.

Reviewed by: Nad, 2019/08/14

Due to the holiday season, there was a jam towards our destination. What usually was a 90mins drive became a 3 hours drive up and 21/2 hours drive back. So we had to cut short the time spent at all our pitstops. 30 mins each at the first, 2nd and 3rd. There were 7 ponds we should visit at the last stop, but by the time we walk from the bus bay to the first pond, it's time to walk back towards the bus. We only had 1hr at the premium outlet. Again we were parked a distance away, which left us with 45mins to shop and to queue to pay. Totally ridiculous. It felt like we have totally wasted our money on this tour. Rushed and ran the whole time. And with a child in tow, it certainly took away all the fun. Maybe it is just the wrong time to go during the holiday season.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Good, but a bit rushed

Reviewed by: Michael , 2019/08/13

We enjoyed the tour overall, but it felt a bit rushed.
It would have been more enjoyable if we could have had more time at the 5th level of Mount Fuji and at Oshino Hakkai and less time at the Gotemba outlet shops.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Such a great experience!

Reviewed by: Cary, 2019/08/12

Yoko was such a fun and helpful tour guide! From the informative bus ride, the beauty and awe of Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi, and the Ropeway, to the ride back to Tokyo on the bullet train, this was a fabulous excursion. I highly recommend this day-trip.

Yoko even guided nearly our entire tour group from Tokyo Station to Shinjuku Station after even though the tour ended at Tokyo Station. Such a helpful and kind person!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Lesley , 2019/08/10

This tour is spent mainly on the bus. The stops are not more than 30 mins. The lunch place was awful with no atmosphere. Due to mist the cable car and boat trip was a waste of time.

My Fuji day tour

Reviewed by: Michael Hill, 2019/08/07

Unfortunately the traffic heading to My Fuji was very bad which meant the rest of the day was a crush to keep the schedule. Weather was also against us. My Fuji and the cable car was a white out.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Asakusa or Ginza

Good but very rigorous.

Reviewed by: Sofia, 2019/07/28

It was a breathless tour, with very limited time in the actual landmarks. Lunch was rushed as we had to wait for our soup/bowl to be cooked. Lovely presentation but we had 30 minutes only at the restaurant.Going into a theme park for lunch caused delays going in and out. Not really well thought from the organizing company. Our tour guide was lovely and he took us by the hand to help us buy or JR pass on our return to Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Good day out!

Reviewed by: Olivia, 2019/07/27

To anyone that hasn't been to Fuji before, whether it be on this tour, any other tour OR just your own, please understand that you might not see the summit at all. This is no fault of the tours company. I've been on two of these tours, I saw a faint outline of Fuji the first time and none of it the second time, that's just the luck of the draw.

My trip was in the summer also, Fuji is far more visible in the winter because the clouds are higher.

As a day out it's very nice. The food and the garden at the restaurant were lovely, the boat ride and the cable car are both very fun, and the wood crafts and souvenirs in Hakone (yosegi zaiku) are some of the most beautiful in Japan in my opinion.

Everything you do on this tour could be done alone with enough pre-planning, but it is nice to be around other English speakers once in a while if you're on a long trip.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Disappointed tour

Reviewed by: MTP, 2019/07/26

Tour was not well organized. We were scheduled to be picked up at Royal Park hotel, then bus didn’t come there. One tour staff member came and got cabs for us to go to the other hotel where the bus parked there. The tour guide lady told us that tour was full that day and there were only 3 seats left for us but not together! Why they couldn’t assign seat number? Some activities were canceled.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Pretty good tour

Reviewed by: Nikki B, 2019/07/14

The tour was definately good value for money as trains to get there on your own and back would work out more expensive. We really did enjoy all the places we went to but time we spent there went so fast I wish we'd booked longer tour. Time flies when you're having fun! Also this is not like a guided tour, it's more like bus tour that takes you to these places and drop you off and you go do your own thing which was good for us. Overall good value for money and definately worth seeing but it's shame we didn't get to spend more time.

Mt Fuji Tour

Reviewed by: Mike D, 2019/07/13

The trip went very smoothly. Levin our tour guide was a knowledgable , professional and excellent communicator. He is a great asset.

The driver and guide were both excellent. We got to see My Fuji despite cloud cover. Levin and the driver saw an opportunity to view the mount and took it. If we waited for the "normal" stop we would have missed the view ( like the majority of other tours).

The lunch that was provided at the Ninja village was great. There was plenty of local food and the service was very good.

The trips to the 5 lakes was excellent. The flight simulator was also a real hoot.

Overall the organisation and events were excellent. A great experience.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Amazing trip

Reviewed by: Alexander, 2019/07/11

Me and my two friends were with this trip last week. We had a wonderful experience, and discovered places we might never have encountered ourselves.

The guide was also really friendly with far above standard English, and was very enthusiastic.

The lunch we received in the bus was unfortunately not up to expectation, so for that I would rate it 4/5 stars.

The schedule was on time, and we arrived 20 minutes prior to our timetable.

In all we had a positive experience, and I would recommend people to go in this tour, since it’s not expensive in comparison to other day trips with a guide.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Spectacular day

Reviewed by: Inma, 2019/07/07

Japanese punctuality and attention to detail, all in a very simple and unassuming way. Great experience and very well paced and organized.
We were an eclectic crowd and the guide was even discreet enough to just act surprised when somebody asked her why Japanese “Fuji” water was exported to the United States and never drank by the japanese. I think she confused Fiji water with the water from Mount Fuji. Oh lord!...The guide was marvelous and discrete by saying she did not know....

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Not worth the money.

Reviewed by: Amber, 2019/07/02

The entire tour was rushed not sure why as we couldn't do the ropeway, so you would think we would have had extra time. They added a box to the website showing that it was closed after my group had already booked the tour. We took a cruise through the fog, and it was not on the cool pirate boat described and pictured. The cruise was a waste as well because you couldn't see anything. We also went to the museum which is supposed to provide a great view of Fuji but again we couldn't see anything.
