Ahmed and I went to Mount Fuji last Tuesday. So did the clouds! However, we really enjoyed it thanks to our guide, Nao! She was kind, helpful and very informative.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

The bus driver is very excellent driver, no hiccups on the way she drives on the wet, fog winding road.

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.

We knew that it was a bus tour, but it was a little cramped compared to other bus tours that we have been part of in Sapporo. I think that is due to that this tour is in Tokyo so more people were on the bus. The tour guide, Irene was very nice and accommodating, despite some rude tour people on the tour bus. As a bit of advice, when you are given a time frame in Japan, you better be punctual or you will be left behind! As we were going to various places, we were on a challenging schedule, so the tour guide let everyone know this at the beginning of the tour, and everyone needs to be respectful of each other's time. Two people did not respect this rule and ended up being left behind at one stop, but made it back to the bus at the next stop, fortunately for them the distance was reachable, but I'm sure had a bit of a walk to catch up. The weather that day did not allow for us to see Mt. Fuji, which was a bummer, but not the fault of the tour guide or the tour experience.

The tour guide is great unfortunately, the tour itself is not exactly how it disclosed. The bus stop for 5 minutes for one spot to view Mt. Fuji but not the best view at all. As we drove by we saw there are few spots that we can see the Mt. Fuji very clear but the bus just driving by very fast. The ropeway was under construction so they skip that part. This tour claims that we’re supposed to go on a pirate ship to tour Ashi Lake instead we just went on a ferry. We were a little disappointed cause it was not how it disclosed.

We only had one full day in Japan on our way home to Australia so we decided to take a tour out to the iconic Mt Fuji. We were picked up right on schedule from our hotel and spent about half an hour collecting other people from various locations before heading out to Mt Fuji. Our guide entertained us along the way with some history and personal anecdotes and even a little sing-along in Japanese. The weather favoured us too, the day being clear and sunny, so we were able to see the peak. The only downside was the cold wind. I was wishing for earmuffs! The cable car ride was cancelled due to the wind but we were able to see a lovely peace park instead. We could have returned to Tokyo on the bus, but we opted for the Bullet train instead. Our guide made all that easy. The experience of seeing those fantastic trains whooshing through the station while we waited for ours was amazing in itself. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

Almost everything about this trip was perfect, from the travel guide, to the atmospheric views. The only major con I have is the ropeway ride. They stuff as many people as possible onto oa singular cart so that you can't move or take photos of the views through people's heads. Not a dealbreaker, but it's the reason I wouldn't give this trip a perfect score. 4/5.

The tour was ok. It was good to have a tour guide to help explain things. We were only on the mountain for 30 minutes which was no where near enough time. We needed at least an hour. The boat ride was nice too. The ropeway was closed due to wind so they took us to an aquarium close to the mountain. The aquarium was absolutely awful. There were dead turtles in a few of the tanks. I would have preferred to have headed back to Tokyo a little earlier and skip the aquarium. Most of the folks on our tour complained about the aquarium. Not having a reserved seat on the bullet train was also a disappointment. I would recommend a reserved seat on the bullet train to and from the mountain if you can do it.
