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.

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 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.

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.

This is one of those tours that can be a hit or a total miss, it is heavily reliant on the weather. We were lucky, we had clear views and cloudless blue skies.
We were picked up from our hotel in Tokyo and were dropped off in the evening at our hotel in Odawara - Hakone. It is long day.
Well worth the cost as all of our luggage was also on the mini-bus
Noasan, our driver and guide was punctual, professional and patient.
I cannot recommend Veltra and their team in Japan highly.

Sites visited were absolutely stunning. It is now a bucket list item to climb to the top of Mt. Fuji!! The tour guide was awesome and provided history, language and cultural lessons in a very clear and entertaining way. I cannot remember his name but our guide (bus 3 on 11/2/18) was outstanding.
The only complaint is that we were very rushed. We were only able to stay at Mt Fuji for about 30 minutes and ran through Owakandani. Understanding that it was peak fall traffic, perhaps the tour should start a few hours earlier?
Other than that aspect, we had a great time.

The entire tour was way behind on its schedule. We barely mad it to Mount Fiji and when we did make it the obserervation deck was closed. There were way to many tours going on at the sametime we were told 7 busses that’s close to 301 people just for this company If the tour was not so far behind i might rank it good

Looked for signs of fall foliage in Tokyo Nov 7 2018 and found it on this tour. Japanese maple reds and golden gingko. 30% color change and should be spectacular in few following weeks. A good option if you've already done the Shinkansen tour. Another highlight is autumn colors at Shosenkyo falls and gorge. The tour was expertly led by friendly tour guides. Highly recommended!

A day day trip out from Tokyo to try and see more of the country but be warned - the time on the coach is considerable. I knew of course there would be around 2hrs to Mt Fuji but there is then over an hour to lunch, another hour to the next site and so on. We were a little unlucky with the weather but the submit was visible at station 4 - a shame to then have to stop at station 5 with no visibility
Guide was very sweet and tried hard. It was a good day out if you have time but I would not rush to book this trip again.
