Tokyo
Excellent guide when on the bus, but very confusing situation when getting back on the bus.
Terrible weather, but very happy to see Mt Fuji Capped with snow.
Interestering and flavorful lunch, but we were too rushed with not enough time for shopping.
With total fog the cable ride was absurd.
Very enjoyable, a lot to see and do. Some beautiful sights to see, I proposed to my partner at the 5th station which was really memorable. A long day which is well worth it.
Great experience and lovely place to visit but the time was very limited to explore each location.
Tour was great. Our guide Harumi was very helpful and entertained us during the slower parts of the trip. Just happened to have great weather for viewing Mt. Fuji as well. All in All, would travel again.
Our guide in trying to be funny, came across bossy and rude, and in trying to be punctual left 4 guests behind on Mt Fuji albeit they were 10 min late. We had too little time at each destination except the 4D experience, which was the longest part of the day at a theme park! I didn't pay for a Fuji tour to be at a theme park. Most of the commentary was played on an autoguide with the exception of pointing out a few landmarks along the way. Not worth the money.
The hotel pick up option worked well even though, when arriving at the main Bus Station it was a little chaotic. Waiting to check in and being allocated our coach was not so long and soon the tour was under way. The journey to the mountain takes you through interesting countryside, their new wine region being one part. But where was Mt Fuji? Where it so often is, nestled in cloud. From the 5th station you did quite well to see your hand at full stretch but there were teasing hints of a bright spell approaching.
As we stopped for lunch in an intriguing choice of a fairground restaurant the sky kept on teasing. The meal was quite typical of Japanese and nothing wrong with that. Orders phoned through meant that there was really no waiting, quite essential on such a full day.
En route to the lake and the short passenger ferry trip to the aerial cableway we did enjoy quite a spectacular view with the mountain wearing a white cap. Once on top of the cableway the vision was pretty much zero and quite cold so most people returned to the bottom to wander around the shops. Transfer to the station for the short but interesting bullet train ride went well with the train journey just long enough to appreciate the acceleration and have a taste of the top speed.
An eventful and fun day and certainly bone I wouldn't have missed.
we are extended family with 5 adults and 2 kids. booking through veltra was convenient, confirmation was fast. near the day, veltra staff called us to reconfirm pick up point & time. there was a bit of mistake for the tour destination, but it was corrected quickly. the hiace van was really convenient and spacious for our group, and driver was really professional. the highlights of our tour were the autumn foliage along the way, the view from fuji 5th station, and lake kawaguchi. we brought our own lunch and had a picnic on the bench along lake kawaguchi. unfortunately we visited during cultural day weekend so there was traffic everywhere. our driver asked us which sites were our priorities, so we decided to drop visit to gotemba outlet. we had a fantastic day.
We were very lucky that the weather cooperated and we saw Mt. Fuji!!! I really wanted that picture perfect view and I got it, together with the mountain's cone shaped peak. Our tour guide Yoshi was really good, he even thought us how to make a mountain origami during the long bus ride.
The only thing I did not like is that we were not able to go to Owakudani valley anymore because the Hakone Sky Gondola suddenly stopped its operation for maintenance purposes. It was a good thing they were able to replace it with another similar activity.
All in all it was a good trip! I will definitely book with this tour provider again.
Absolutely loved all the places and sites we visited!!!
too much bus riding...glad to return on train. too much rushing. not much to see if my fuji only partially vusible.
Были сегодня на очень хорошей экскурсии к знаменитой горе Фуджи.Хотя погода была неважная,временами шел дождь,но все равно мы получили большое удовольствие и от потрясающих видов,и от замечательного гида Артема (Ари),который скрашивал нам переезды от одного объекта к другому,и от вкусного ланча,который подавали в деревне ниндзя. А в конце мы поучаствовали в виртуальном полете над Фуджи,во время которого было полная иллюзия полета на скоростном самолете и на малой высоте, и с большой скоростью,с виражами и даже мертвой петлей.В общем мы остались очень довольны,график выполнялся неукоснительно,никто не опаздывал,Ари вел экскурсию на английском и японском и еща давал нам иногда пояснения на русском.Рекомендую всем,кто хочет познакомиться с самой знаменитой достопримечательнсотью Японии.
Thank you very much for your comment.
Ari will be happy to hear this.
See you some day again.

We had one single day to see Mount Fuji and were Lucky enough with the weather on this day trip
Great guide Yoko was a pleasure to have wth us notwithstanding a group of loud and drunk Americans in the Bus tour ..
She kept them in line , well done
It started well on time , Japanese vegetarian food was amazing , specialy the presentation.
I had one of the most wonderful experience. The tour lady was so funny, cute, helpful. The places, food and directions were right on the point. I have no words to thanks you for making one of my dreams come true.
A long but very enjoyable day. Guide spoke excellent English and was very informative.
Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we were unable to see Mt Fuji and the sights from Hakone. The bullet train was great, but the bus ride is waaayyy too long. That was the worst part. Lunch was great!
Excellent value for money and a very knowledgeable guide (with a wicked sense of humour) combined to make this a great day out. Only downer was the poor weather which meant we could not see the top of Mount Fuji and the cable car ride was a complete white out. We travelled back to Tokyo in darkness so we did not get a sense of speed on the bullet train but the fact we have travelled on this legend is really all that counts.
I would like to thank the guide that was very nice and helping us move around without any worries. Even though the weather was not on our side, the guide has brighten the entire trip with his stories and songs. Thank You!
The tour guide and drivers are excellent. Despite the downpour and not being able to view Mt Fuji, I would highly recommend this company. Many thanks.
The views are amazing and our guide, Eri is very creative with how she provides info on the trip, through hand-drawn maps and songs even on the way to the 5th station!
Hakone Yumoto Fujiya Hotel is just 2 mins walk from the Yumoto station and very very convenient!
Very happy --the guides are great/helpful --recommend to everybody to take this tour
We had a very clear view of Fuji! Our guide Shima was phenomenal and extremely informative!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Enjoyed everything about the trip except the lunch. Of all the beautiful settings we saw during our day , I don't understand why the lunch was in the middle of a theme park. ( very poor lunch ) ( ridiculous location. )
This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Japan! Our tour guide Blair was amazing and very informative. Not only did he keep us on schedule but he also gave us extra time at the stop on Mt. Fuji because it was such a nice clear day! All of the stops were very fun and the blueberry ice cream at the lake is a must eat! We we're lucky enough to see Mt Fuji from most of our stops that day including the lake. The 8 ponds also had a lot to do and we bought most of our souvenirs there. The lunch at ninja village is definitely recomended. And the 4d ride was a perfect finish to the whole day. If I had to change something about the tour I would possibly cut out either the ninja village or the 4d ride just to allow for more time at the other stops since it felt a little rushed. The value for your money is amazing and I will be telling all my friends to book this specific tour and request our amazing guide!! Blair was even helpful enough to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip on our bus ride back to shinjuku. Thank you for an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!
Thank you for joining our tour,
We are happy to hear that! We hope you have a lot of memories in Japan
My family has been in Japan for few months now, but we did not quite make it to Mount Fuji since it is not as convenient as visiting most of the other sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a good idea. Although the price seemed on higher side, the offer tempted us to go ahead. The bus was good and the seats comfortable with good leg space. We were glad to have been offered an entire row of 4 seats all for ourselves, 2 + 1 kid. Free wi-fi on the bus was a bonus. Due to long weekend, there was more traffic which led to a delay of about an hour and the itinerary was changed, as we first headed to Oshino Ninja village for an early lunch. This place was pretty good with few options for veggies too. We got to click pics with Ninjas. Next stop was at Oshino Hakkai village with lovely fresh water, clear ponds and country-side houses which was picturesque. We then headed to Mt Fuji 5th station where the clouds played a spoil sport and hence we could not get a great view of the mountain. The time allotted here was less than 30 min which I felt was too less, as this was the main site of visit, expected at least an hour. The 4D activity was broken that day and was cancelled. Hence, as an alternate we got a boat ride at lake Kawaguchi and later went to the other side of the lake where we were in for some luck to see the Mt Fuji peak.
Overall a good experience, the guide Jack kept us engaged with information about Japan and ensured no-one was left behind!!

Although the weather completely obstructed our view of Fuji, this tour was a good way to get an insight into the mountain and visit some cool places around the area. The 4D ride was definitely a highlight, however the lunch was fairly average. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and funny and made it a great trip overall. I will be booking other tours with this company during my stay in Japan!
Thank you for joining our tour,

A full day, lots of travelling but thats what is required to see all these sites. Lunch is at a roller coaster park with some magnificent rides but the opportunity to go on these rides is not available. An option to pay for a FAST PASS to the huge roller coaster would be a plus
This was my first time booking a tour and I wasn't disappointed. Take (Tah-Kei), our host, was the best! He was fluent in English, hilarious guy and was a great guide. We were one of the lucky groups who got to see Mt. Fuji without the obstructions of clouds. LUCKY INDEED. The view from 5th station was breathtaking. The air was so clean and crisp, make sure to bring a light jacket! Everything about the tour was timed perfectly. Take had us stay another 5 minutes at 5th station because the weather was just so beautiful. I would recommend this tour for anyone that isn't going to go and climb Mt. Fuji just yet. :)
