Unfortunately the weather was not great, hence we only made it to 1st station.
Managed to catch a glimpse of Mt Fuji from the tour bus when the clouds cleared a little in the afternoon.
Weather was also misty when we were on the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway - hence views were not promising and the cable car was jam packed.
But the tour guide was very good - spoke excellent English and was very helpful catering to > 40 paxes. Ichiban on his service

The tour is a good overview for people who just wants a day trip to mt Fuji and can't spend more time there. Tourist who doesn't have too much time and can't spend a night near the area.
A beautiful view of mt Fuji can be taken at the lake. Very nice.
The village gives another experience, supposedly one can see the making of soba, there is also a Japanese garden near the bus drop off pt,
The ninja village is ok. Lunch is abit disappointing, it's cold because they prepared earlier. Be prepared to pay more if you want to try the ninja activities. If not it will be just a walk in the 'park' and a place for hot spring for the feet.
5th station stop was abit too short as we had only 5mins which wasn even enough for toliet. But this was due to the jam traffic .
The tour ends off with a stimulation ride of mt Fuji.
Overall, the guides are nice and the tour was well-planned.

The guide was very helpful and spoke perfect English. Although I could not see Mt. fuji due to the bad weather, the service was really good and we had yum traditional Japanese lunch. And the last section 'Fuji Airways' was a big surprise, i have never expected it could be that awesome! I think i will definitely join this tour again in a nice weather day^^
Thank you for joining our tour. We appreciate your message. We will share this massage with our guides. Thank you again!

This was my first time going to Mt.fuji, we departed from Shinjuku, the meeting place was easy to find (even for someone who doesn't know Japanese). We arrived at the fifth station at around 11:30, the bus was comfortable so I was basically sleeping all the way to Mt. fuji. The weather was really nice, so I could clearly see Mt.fuji, lucky haha! We had an English speaking guide on that day, she is very kind and can speak good English. I am planning to go Mt. fuji again sometime during the autumn, and will definitely join this tour again!!

This tour will offer you loads of opportunities to see Mt. Fuji, and in a clear weather you should be able to enjoy magnificent views. On the day I went the weather was not perfect but still managed to catch a few glimpses of the mountain.
According to our guide we were very lucky to be able to go to the 5th Station, as in winter the road is often closed due to the snow fall. At the 5th station you can admire the panoramic view of the 'Japanese Alps' and of course the top of Fuji itself. There is also a big souvenir shop where you can get some nice gifts or a snack (try Fuji-shaped melon pan!).
After that we were transferred to the restaurant for lunch - it was a Japanese style meal and really delicious! People who didn't book lunch had some free time to eat their own lunch or buy something at the spot (there was a small bakery).
Our next stop was Hakone and a picturesque Ashi lake cruise to the reopeway station. I imagine that on a clear day the view from the ropeway would be amazing, but during our trip we were welcomed by a little snow storm, so we couldn't see much. Mt. Komagatake however was really great, really enjoyed a short hike to the shrine at the top.
The guide was super nice, kept us entertained on the us and provided some interesting information as well.
Overall it was a very nice tour and well organised tour and despite of the fact that the weather was not perfect, it was a nice day out of Tokyo.

We loved it our guide Mr Hiro is amazing he really knows what he is talking about. The bus is comfortable and has wifi. The sight seeing of the mount is great but on the afternoon when you do the cable car is quite difficult to see the mount because it is hiding in the clouds. The food is not amazing but it does the job. I strongly recommend this one day trip. Even on the high way before arriving the views are stunning.

It's our first time to travel in Japan and Mt.Fuji is a must-to-see in our list. It didn't take much to book for a trip since Veltra offers a variety of Mt.Fuji tours and hundreds of tours as well. Veltra did an amazing job. From hotel transfers up to the trip and tour itself, everything went perfectly smooth.No hassles, no fuss....I will use Veltra again on my upcoming trip in Korea come May. Thumbs up!

The tour is very organized and timely. They even have seating chart on the bus. The tour guides are great and friendly. When we took it the intended rope way was closed due to strong winds, but we saw another rope way is running. they refunded the portion of the rope way entrance fee. The all you can east yakiniku buffet is good. Gotemba shopping outlet is great. Overall it is a nice tour!

This tour was awesome. They picked us up at the hotel and after a couple more stops, we had a brief stop at a bus station where another bus took us up to Mt. Fuji. We speak almost no Japanese, but the tour guides we had spoke English well and were able to answer any questions we had.
It takes a while to get to Mt. Fuji from Tokyo (like 2.5 hours), but the tour guide made things interesting by talking about the history of Japan and Mt. Fuji. Would have been nice to have more time at the shops on Mt. Fuji, but I have to give them credit for keeping that many people (from all around the world) on schedule.
After a traditional Japanese lunch (included), we headed out with another tour guide for the forest/cave tour. At this point we split from the original group and joined a smaller group for caving. Again, the tour guide spoke English very well and was super nice/informative.
We would have liked to have seen more of Aokigahara Forest, but it was definitely cool. Super quiet and kind of spooky but more beautiful than anything else. The cave tour was also really neat. It was short but also my first time in a cave so it didn't bother me.
After a full day of exploring, we were given bus tickets and waited for a bus. The bus arrived n time but the ride was long and delayed due to traffic. The bus was not uncomfortable, but if you have a JR Rail pass, I would recommend finding a Shinkansen back to Tokyo to avoid traffic. Everything else on the tour was great!

The day tour to Mt. Fuji was a nice change from the big city. We stayed in a hotel that was not on the pick up list in Tokyo but took the subway over to a hotel that was. The tour company then gave us a taxi to meet up with the rest of the group at the bus. Our tour guide was the best! She spoke very good English and her voice was so pleasant. Overall we were pleased with the tour. Unfortunately we went on the only day out of the week that it was cloudy and misty. So we went to Mt. Fuji but did not get to see Mt. Fuji! We took the bullet train back to Tokyo and that was fairly easy to navigate as well. Really wish we would have done the 2 day tour package but it was completely booked!

The weather was very bad as the rain kept falling for the whole day so it was unfortunate that we could not go up on the ropeway to see mount fuji. The lake cruise was also replaced with lake kawagochi cruise but despite the changes, the event went quite well. The tour guide tried her best to keep our spirits high during the journey. The instructions from her was clear and concise, such as where to meet and what time to meet were communicated well enough.
We visited the mount fuji heritage center, went up via kachi kachi ropeway and sat on the cruise to see lake kawagochi. The views were scenic and breathtaking.We even managed to spot mount fuji from a distance which totally made our day.
The lunch was normal japanese style. The portion was just nice and it was acceptable.
In terms of the overall trip, there was no major delays, changes in sightseeing places were communicated and replaced promptly abd everything went on fine!
I just hoped to visit it again when the weather is much better!!
