All Reviews for Mt. Fuji Day Tours from Tokyo

Tour guide was fantastic. Tour was well planned. Food was delicious. Tour was informative. Kids were very happy with the tour to owaudani. Train ride was very fast and comfortable.

It's easy to find the meeting point. Mt Fuji is simply awesome !!

The Trip was good and the tour guide Yoko is very good too. She Is well verse in English and kept us entertained throughout the trip except on the way back from last sight visit at the shrine.

The only unpleasant is the traffic jam while on the way back heading to Shinjuku-Ku.

The tour guide was awesome, very nice, pleasing personality. Always smiling and very informative. I learnt some japanese from here in this short tour. Awesome.

Keep up the good work.

It was an outstanding experience to just not travel to Mount Fuji but getting essential and interesting information from the guide, Yoshi. Yoshi ensured and kept us entertained throughout the visits and I will definitely recommend fellow tourist to option for Yoshi.
It was timely pickup, sight seeing and exceeded expectations.

We got the Mt. Fuji tour with an English-speaking guide last December 2, 2018. Our guide is Amy-san from JTB Sunrise Tours. She’s a very friendly, mild-mannered, affable and sweet guide. Even apologizing to the rest of the group when the three of us were late to the call time. She’s really knowledgeable and is patient to the requests and queries of everyone. We were blessed with clear skies so we saw My. Fuji in all its glory. I do love the Shiraito Falls; such a beautiful place. The lunch was okay. And when we were stuck in Tokyo traffic after the tour, she made each of us an origami of Mt. Fuji and a paper crane. She’s just all kinds of adorable!

I would not recommend this tour. The amount of time spent on Mount Fuji was under 20 minutes. You can do absolutely nothing on the mountain in this time. You would have to pick either to quickly shop (without enough time to look around and decide what you want) or take photos. It is impossible to do both! I wanted to mail a postcard from the post office on Fuji but I barely had enough time to buy the postcard and didn't have the opportunity to mail it (which is all of the fun!). Isn't being on Mount Fuji the highlight of the tour? Why don't you let people spend time there then? The rest of the tour seemed like "filler" activities. Also, it got really cloudy in the afternoon so we saw nothing the rest of the tour. Honestly, my family and I say "skip it." This tour sucks.

Overall nice schedule.
Nice guide who tried to entertain us all time !
Various points to see and 3 of 5 were great, one was average, one was needless.
Lunch included was below average for Japan....

I would recommend going on this tour in winter, as the ice cave will not have its iconic icicles in autumn.

The forest was absolutely stunning and our tour guide encouraged us to swing from grape vines and explore the area

Make sure to wear a good pair of outdoor shoes. I wore hiking shoes and they came in handy quite a few times in both the cave and the forest

The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke good English; however, the traffic on my particular day was bad due to a public holiday which caused our tip to change in order to accommodate the new timeline.

The time at Fuji is a bit too short regardless of the traffic situation, but it was still a decent way to learn about the mountain and get into Hakone.

I strongly recommend staying overnight in a Hakone and it is absolutely gorgeous and there is a lot you can do on your own

I was very happy with this tour. Everything was very well organized, and exactly as advertised. The views were spectacular. The guide, Yoshi, was very professional. Gave us a lot of information on Mount Fuji, and on Japan in general. At each step (sight-seeing, ropeway, boat ride) we got very clear instructions, and it enabled everything to run smoothly. As a one-day tour, this is as good as it gets. For those who would like to take it easy and see more of Hakuna, probably I would recommend to do it on their own and stay at least one night in Hakuna.

Mika San our guide was very lively and funny! very informative and helpfull. Driver was excellent . Lunch was impeccable and we are lucky enough to see mt fuji all day with clear skies and amazing weather.

Trip was overall well organized and was able to maximize our time . It was the best highlight of my japan trip.

will definitely book again!

We had a great experience, and Hitomi, the tour guide, was very good. We were fortunate to have good weather and had great views of Fujisan. My only knock on the tour was the stop at the sulpher area. We were there for too long and it just wasn’t that interesting. I’d much rather spend more time on Mt. Fuji. Otherwise, the bus was comfortable and the trip was well worth it.

I did not expect much from this tour since it's only 1 day and almost half was spent for pick up and driving to Mt Fuji, But Eriko-san (our Tour Guide) made it a better experienced. The knowledge and the delivery that she brought was amazing. The stopover although short was good, the lunch and the service was above than expected. Of course everything was done in a hurry but everything is worth it. I am with my son and wife but I know they are all listening to Eriko-san. Even on the way back to Tokyo Eriko-san still take care of us. Thank You very much.

I have to thank the English speaking Japanese tour guide for very accomodating. She understands my concern abt Halal food and arrange no meat on my lunchtable buffet. But I hope them to cater for Halal food and longer Gotemba shopping! Else everything was good, apart frm traffic jam for nearly 3hrs when returing to Shinjuku.

A very enjoyable tour, we were blessed with good weather which allowed us to have good views of Mount Fuji and the vokcanic vents at Hakone. We thoroughly enjoyed the day but would advise to check weather forwcast before booking

This was a great tour that would be highly recommended. Although we were only able to get up to the 4th station at Mt. Fuji, the view was clear and unobstructed the whole time we were on the tour, which is highly unusual. The view from Owakudani was especially beautiful! Our tour guide, Eiko, was very knowledgeable and funny, sharing lots of useful extra information that tourists may not otherwise know. Lunch in Gotemba was excellent, especially the tasty manju dessert! I had to buy a box to take home.

Cruise trip was best of all.

It would have great if the bus stops near to international restaurant rather than local ones.
It becomes difficult to manage the food.
Would be good if we have McDonald's or KFC, which would be preferred by most of travellers.

Thanks

The tour was very well organized, and it was very diverse in different activities. We were also very lucky with the weather and were able to see clearly all the gorgeous landscapes along the trip.

The only reason I gave this two stars is because our tour guide was really nice and friendly. Everything else was horrible. I assumed the bus would stop at some nice locations where the tourists could get some good pictures of Mt. Fuji; it did not. We stopped at the tourist center which has an observation deck, but no really nice views of Fuji Then we were supposed to go up to the 5th station however due to snow we sopped at the 1st station of Myt. Fuji... again in a spot where you could barely get any pictures because the trees were towering over (plus there were about another 25 tourist buses that stopped at the same location and at the same time, so it was crazy)... Then we headed down for lunch which was poor but the location was nice. We had to eat super fast (40 minutes) and get back to the bus; couldn't explore the location.. this last part was where the remainder of the 2 starts come from: stopped in Hakone, a super rushed boat ride (10 mins) on Lake Ashi and then a ropeway to the summit of Mt. Komagatake... (to spend 25 minutes) and be rushed back down. There was a nice shrine on top of the Mountain but you'd have to rush up there and take pics and get back down hoping you still have enough time to get some snacks for the ride back and maybe get a souvenir or tow.

Over all, they should just take "Mt Fuji" out of the title because we didn't see it. It was an amazingly clear day but the bus didn't stop at nice locations to snap pics... the only nice pics i took were while we were ON the bus, and of course those didn't turn out nice as the bus was moving. I wouldn't recommend this.

Heavy traffic and cloudy weather, we didn't saw the mt.fuji and we didn't ride the ropeway because lack of time

We missed the Hakone and Lake Ashi cruise and no refund

the tour guide was very informative and has akways full of energy to lead us to where will be leading. The Mt. Fuji and Mt. Hakone were so amazing and so the other places nearby...

The tour was very well organized and worth every penny. The service was great and the places were incredible. To top it all, the Vegetarian Japanese meal was awesome. Thank you!!

Loved the tour very much. Id do it again if i could.

We had a fabulous time. Very informative guide and beautiful views of Mt Fuji

We enjoyed viewing, Mt. Fuji and beautiful autumn leaves at lake kawaguchi by cruise....what amazing for us, is one special place scenic beauty of Senga Falls. We love it ! Highly recommended!

When we booked a Mt fuji tour we'd only expect to go near the Mount and probably one more place, and some random English guide.
But it turned out completely different. The guide is really kind and energetic, explains quite a lot about Mt fuji and Japan overall aswell.
The tour takes a few hours and you get to see several places aside Mt fuji. Falls and ponds are a great addition to the whole experience.
Would definetly advice anyone that wants to know Mt fuji and the area around it to take this tour, we'd have never knew the places we did if it wasn't for this.

It is a nice tour, with very a very friendly guide who spoke great English. The tour has a good mix of different locations, a view of Mt Fuiji from the lake, the maple corridor (with its magnificent colors) and the impressive gorge.

The lunch was delicious, a lovely traditional, keiseki like meal with lovely snow crab.

Sadly it was a cloudy day, so we did not actually see Mount Fuji but we still had a great day:) Japan in autumn and the colors are truly exceptional!

Our tour was perfect. it was more fun because of Saturo San and the driver(sorry i forgot the name, but he even gave us a parting gift which he drew himself) treated us not as guests but as friends. they made sure that we are comfortable and they are very knowledgable about the tour and about Japan. Saturo San made sure that he answered all our questions before the tour ends. the only thing is the time in Gotemba outlet, I didn't have enough time for shopping. but it was still ok! will highly recommend this to my family and friends.

it's really convenient and more fun if you have a tour guide and a private van especially when you're travelling with kids.
