All Reviews for Mt. Fuji Day Tours from Tokyo

no problem but cloudy so no possiblility to view Mount Fuji. So a bit disappointed

It worths every penny. Do not miss it. Great tour. Great staff. I came from Saudi Arabia and I am glad that I went on this tour.

Although it took almost double time to get to the first destination because the day we attended tour was just before holiday and everyone went their hometown, the guide Hiroshi-san was entertaining us and taught us many aspects of Japan!
That was shame that at some destination we had only a half of normal time, so we had to rush seeing the places, but that's due to the traffic jam and couldn't be helped.
Thanks to guide's tip, we were able to get a good blueberry ice cream!

Itinerary was good and tour was well organized.

Mari-san, our tour guide, was knowledgable, friendly and funny. We enjoyed our day very much.

We were 5 people in this tour.
Here are the good points of tour:
1. The tourguide was very passionate and friendly.
2. Two drivers drove safely
3. The lunch was good

Here are the bad points:

1. The tour guide talked too much, continuously from Tokyo to Fuji mt. All the bus really need the time to rest and time to talk to our friends.

2. No time for seeing the moutain. From tokyo to Fuji mt: there were 3 times the bus stop in a place for toilet. Everytime, about over 15 minutes including lunch time. But the time at the 5th grade of the mt was only 8 minutes. We needed more time there

3. We didnt see even the shape of Fuji mt

We had day just staying in the bus from 7 am to 9pm. It was waste of time and money. This tour was for nothing!

We were lucky that Fuji revealed itself but unlucky with wet weather after that. But this was a good trip and made interesting by our guide Hiro. He had information on the destinations but also on all the places we passed and visited. Highly recommended

The highlight for me was the hotel the Onsen and the day in Hakone

Nice experience!!

Really great tour. We got picked up on time from a hotel near to where we were staying which was very handy and well organised. Our guide, Levin, had perfect English, was very helpful and informative and made the tour extremely enjoyable. There were plenty of break stops along the way and the bus was very comfortable. Due to unforeseen traffic our itinerary changed however this was handled really well and we still got to make each stop as planned. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but Levin still made each stop fun and interesting. The lunch provided was excellent food and we got to experience the traditional Japanese culture. We didn't have much expectations for the 4D experience but it was actually brilliant and we really enjoyed it. Overall it was a really great trip and we would highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of doing the Mount Fuji tour.

Long day on bus from Tokyo. Mt Fugi socked in with fog so unable to see any of it. Guide was pretty good but sometimes hard to understand. She had a full bus and the 3 hrs to try to keep people interested. Gondola and boat ride were fun but also fog prevented much views. Ride back on bullet train was fun. Lunch was mediocre.

We enjoyed the whole tour and the food.

Excellent guide and great service.

Booked this tour in the hope to see Mt. Fuji. Every destination point you visit will have advantage points to see Mt.Fuji. The only thing you need is good weather and clear visibility! This sadly isn't guaranteed but what you can expect is a great tour Leader, smooth bus journey to and from each destination and a fun day out. Our tour Leader Levin was really funny and charming. He told us information about Mt.Fuji, Japanese culture and the language. Definitely made the trip!

After reading some bad reviews of other tours we chose Veltra and we're not disappointed. Rain and clouds tried to get in the way but just as the tour bus pulled up to our destination the clouds parted to show a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. Our tour guide Kawasakisan kept us entertained and educated throughout the trip. The added view of Mt Fuji from the restaurant where we dined was an added plus. Though disappointed to have not been able to take the rope way up Hakone because of high winds the extended boat ride was a decent second.
Would definitely recommend this Tour especially if you only have one day to get Fuji in!

We, a group of 7 adults, chose the tour having browsed the internet. The review was good and what we experienced was great! Taiji san is knowledgable, helpful and very accomodative. He picked up us at the hotel on time. We discussed and agreed the itinerary, modified one. We added Nenba and Halal Ramen Tokyo to end the day.
Taiji san is a skillful driver. Driving 10 seater Toyota Hiace he skillfully manouvered in very narrow Tokyo streets when we tried to locate Halal Ramen. Taiji san even attended our exhibition the next day. For us, Taiji san is beyond a tour guide, he is our new friend in Japan.
Arigatou gozaimasu Taiji san!

The climb was tough but the guide was excellent and it was a must-do experience.

We were picked up at our hotel at the exact time as mentioned. 1st, we went to the Fujisan heritage center, and on the way our tour guide explained us everything! History, roads, emperors and my favorite THE LAST SAMURAI :) 2nd part of our day was the yummy yakiniku lunch and 3rd we went to Gotemba Premium Outlet! (shopped til we dropped haha). It was supposed to be the last part of our tour but our guide (Taiji) was kind enough to drive us around tokyo and the busy streets of Ginza! What a bonus!

P.S: car ride was about 1 hr and 30 min :)

It was definitely worth it to go outside Tokyo to see mount Fuji and the traditional villages and the waterfalls. The guide was really nice and helpful, highly recommended.

The only caveat is they require to bring the voucher printed which forced us to visit several family marts until we found one where we could print (after downloading an app only available with a Japanese sim card and understanding the process).

What really made this trip great was the guide Motoko. She was fantastic. She talked the entire time during the bus ride and taught us so much. When she was not explaining history or culture she was giving origami lessons! Not only was she friendly and easy to understand but she willingly answered all of our questions. It would've been better if we could have stayed on Mount Fuji for longer. The boat ride was very short and unfortunately when we arrived on top of the second mountain we were under clouds but that is not the tour's fault.

It was a a long but awesome activity! We really enjoyed the sights in Mt Fuji! Great experience!

Nice tour guide. Learned a lot about Japan and had fun.

Guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We found anew friend in Japan!

My girlfriend and I were very happy about the tour of Mt. Fuji, which also took us to a beautiful lake, a ninja village and another nice little village where we could fill our bottles with natural Mt. Fuji water. We booked a tour, because it seemed a hassle getting to the mountain ourselves. Luckily for us we found this company. The guides spoke english and were very friendly. The bus ride was comfortable. We were lucky that the weather was clear and sunny. We don't regret a thing booking from this company.

This was 100% worth more than the cost, you see loads of different views and stores, great time to get all your souvenirs as i was struggling to find any good ones in the 5 days i have been here.
Theres loads of different stops at landmarks where you can get all sorts of different food, ice cream (blueberry!!) which is very nice. The ninja village and the 4d experience was the highlight of me and my friends trip, the food was a buffet of all sorts of food which as very nice and can eat till your belly pops and then we ent to the ninja garden to do ninja activities where you can participate in; trick room which is like an indoor puzzle, ninja training (forgot the name) where you either use bow and arrow, blowdart or shurikens to hit wooden targets, or a ninja obstacle course. btw it costs 400-500 yen to participate and i only know if you win a price for the training event.

we participated in throwing real shurikens and won plastic ninja shurikens (which is the lowest score) but you can win all sorts of different prizes depending on your score.
Also the 4d experience literally blew our minds because we didnt think highly of it but i dont ant to say too much because it will take from the experience but it was a very good day out, the best so far in the time that i have been here.

ps the guide and driver are very friendly

The views are wonderful and the air so clean! Just beautiful! I highly recommend this trip!

Taiji was our tour guide on this trip just this March 2017. He brought us to a temple, the lake with Mt. Fuji view and Gotemba shopping area. All with considerations on our end. He was very friendly and accommodating, answered questions about the trip.
We had lunch with him and he shared stories with us. He also asked questions about us and he also took our pictures.

He even offered to wait for our shopping time and when we're about to get off, he asked if we have plans for the next day because he's willing to give a city tour. However we do have planned itinerary already so we just thanked him.

He also helped me find my purse which I lost on that day. Sadly, we weren't able to retrieve it.

I recommend him as a very friendlya nd helpful tour guide. He speaks english well and can converse naturally.

We had a wonderful time, the company doubled checked that everyone there got on the bus, if he wouldn't had done that, we would've been left behind. Thank you for double checking. The driver and our guide were very pleasant, so attentive and helpful. We stopped at amazing spots. Lunch was so good also. The coach was really comfortable. Definitely recommend, a must do trip while in Japan. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

We originally book our tour on a Thursday but checked the weather the day before and it was rainy so we called and changed it to Friday, customers service was nice and helpful.
We were at the designated pick up point by 8am. Our tour guide Levin was on time. He was nice and funny. He's knowledgeable and even taught us basic Japanese words/phrases. Our first stop was Lake Kawaguchi. It was still early so we didnt get to see the full view of Mt Fuji and reflection against the lake as it was a bit cloudy. Levin recommended to try the blueberry soft cream. 'Twas delicious! Next stop was Oshino Hakkai where we strolled through the village and saw 8 ponds, and this time we saw Mt Fuji clearly. It was beautiful. Almost lunch time and we headed to our third spot, the Ninja Village. We had Japanese-style food for lunch. Food was delish! Then off to our fourth stop, Mt Fuji Fifth Station. We got up close to Mt Fuji. We enjoyed the views and the little shrine. However it was freezing cold. We didnt stay there for long as we had the 4D Fuji Airways schedule. This was one of the best 4D's we've seen as it was so realistic.Really enjoyed it! We headed home and got dropped off at Shinjuku station as our last stop.
Over all it was an amazing experience!
