Tokyo
We did not find Fuji but instead Taiji our guide who has helped to turn bad weather into an interesting trip. We visited the Kimono museum, traditional Japanese noodles house with fresh organic ingredient from the farm (and Horse Sushi I know!) and end the trip with shopping spree in Gotemba before being dropped off at the hotel. Special thanks for extra Japanese vocab and help with contact in Kyoto.
We had last minute snow in end of march witch remained for about 10 or more days in different area in Fuji.
Although we couldn't see the mountain I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience.
Thank you for giving me such nice comment. I hope everything including your business is fine.
Levin, our tour guide was excellent. He was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable throughout the trip. He made made the day a total delight.

Our experience with this tour was great and everything went as planned except the weather wasnt at its best so we were not able to see the mountain as much as we wouldve liked. Even tho that was indeed the case for our tour, it was still spectacular to see mt fuji from where we were.
Our first stop was at the lake, this was hands down the best view of the mountain from my opinion. The reflection of the mountain against the lake was breath taking and it woke us up instantly after the bus ride to get there. It took about 1.5 hours to get there from shinjuku to the first stop. I took most of my pictures here, really beautiful scenic stop and makes you appreciate the nature.
When it was time to visit fifth station where the hikers usually begin their journey, the weather was not permitting so we started at first station. That was noted in the itinerary so dont be too disappointed. This stop wasnt too exciting but it was a good stop for the restroom.
The next favorite stop is the 4-d ride of mt fuji. Ot was near an amusement park so we also got to see one of the roller coasters that is in the gunniess world record, i believe they mentioned it was the steepest drop. I cringed when i saw it! Crazy ride! But anyway the 4d ride was really fun. We were split into two groups and we went first. Got to see a mini movie almost but the ride made it feel like you were actually there.
The lunch was pretty good as well, theres definitely better food in japan but it was good for what is provided. It was buffet style so they will make sure youre not starving. We had curry, salad, soup and a variety of noodles and meat.
Over all it was truly a good experience. If you are planning on visiting japan i would say a trip to mt fuji is a must do!

The trip was interesting. However, unfortunately we did not get to go to the 5th station due to the weather. We were disappointed.

Blair & Jessica the tour guides were wonderful & really appreciate Jessica thoughtfulness in informing us of the availability of muslim prayer room at the Ninja Village. Thanks & regards.

It is better than Ad described. The lunch is very good at an advanced hotel. Prices of Skyline Gondola and Pirate Boat Cruise are included in the package, which were unexpected. It is worth trying.
It was a fun tour, thanks to the tour guides especially Levin. He was ever so friendly, witty, keeping us entertained throughout the journey. He was engaging with his easy banter and clear explanation. The itinerary was just right for a day tour but unfortunately the weather was uncooperative. We were only allowed access to station 1, as it was very foggy.????

Well organised tour but it really depends on your luck when visiting!
My wife and I have been to Japan many times, but we have never actually quite made it out to Mount Fuji. Part of the reason is that it is not as convenient as some of the other famous sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a great idea. It managed to take us to several of the different sites in one day, much easier than if we tried to do it through public transport. The day turned out amazing as we had amazing weather. The only downer was that the fifth station of Mount Fuji was closed, so we were only allowed to the first station, where there really was nothing to see. This was clearly told us at the time of booking, so it did not seem like a surprise to use. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and we would totally do it again just to try and make it back to the fifth station.

Best tour
I booked the trip for myself and my wife. Our guide was a Japanese lady, Miss Mahoda and a Croatia guy, Mario. Both of them are very thoughtful, especially Miss Mahoda. Throughout the trip, she kept checking if any assistance required, and more than that, she walked around to offer help to hold the camera to take group photo for us. Not only 1 attraction, but she has been doing that for most if not all attraction.
Lunch was at ninja village. It was well organized and ample time for us to take a stroll in ninja village garden.

It was 3 of us including my 4 years old daughter. Had a nice and good lunch at Ninja village, took some photos with Ninjas with our guide Mario arrangement.
The only disappointment is we did not go to Mount Fuji due to all viewpoints are closed during winter. However, to our surprise, the 4D Fuji ride was much better than my expectation. My daughter, who is under minimum height was not able to join us. Mario was nice enough to take care of her while we went for the ride, he even bought her snacks. :) Thanks Mario

I was staying near Shinjuku, but during booking, I can’t find the love statue pickup point, given no choice, I booked the pickup point at New Otani Hotel and made a trip there by train.
Apart from not able to get the desired picking point, the trip was good overall. However, the pickup point at New Otani Hotel is rather easy to find, you can check with the hotel staff and they will point you at the right point. I reached there about 20 minutes earlier, and the guide, Jessica was already there waiting for me. She was helpful and shared lot of useful information, go Metropolitan for free Tokyo view at 200 meter for example.

Our guide shin was wonderful. The driver was great.
It was a great experience. Just disappointed with price of stuff.
our tour guide (eriko) is very informational and entertaining. good job!
we are very happy we booked this trip (mt. fuji, gotemba tour). the tour guide was so accommodating and very informative. we also enjoyed the yakiniku lunch.
The tour was on a tight schedule so it felt a bit rushed. But, it was a good tour nonetheless. Keiko, our tour guide was accommodating and did her best. The Shinkansen was a blast!!!
Hiro did a great job!
Absolutely loved the tour to Mount Fuji and Hokone sightseeing. It was very well organised and managed. Tour included going up to Mount Fuji's 4th viewing station (5th closed due to snow), cruise on Lake Ashi followed by spectacular views atop Mount Komagatake. Its a great way to meet fellow travelers as well as get out of Tokyo for a day. Would like to thank the organisers, coach driver and especially our guide Hiro, who was very helpful, insightful and who spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this tour!
Our tour guide reiko was very entertaining and we enjoyed the whole trip.
Due to the heavy snow, we were only able to reach station 1. And due to strong winds, our trip to Hakone was cancelled. But our guide, Noriko, made our tour enjoyable. We were taken to a cruise of an alternate lake and took a cable ride to a viewing area of Mt Fuji. I've been on tours around the world and I can honestly say that Noriko is one of the best tour guides out there. She keep us engaged throughout the tour giving us lessons in Japanese history and culture. We even learned how to make an origami of Mt Fuji!
Great tour
We had the Mt Fuji and Hakone tour and return via Shinkansen. Our guide Ms Yoko was very knowledgeable and was able to exceed our expectations.
The tour was managed very well and promptly.
Tour guide is very friendly and speaks english. Everything is nice only disappointment is reach up to station 4 at mount fuji but no snow. Otherwise would recommend others to join
We're lucky that we visited Mt. Fuji on a day with clear skies and good weather! The tour was very good!! And the lunch was sumptuous! Tour guide was very good and kind. :)
They mentioned they would take to 5th station of mt. Fuji , but they finished at 2nd station! Other than this , it was really awesome , especially the guide was so informative and her English was good too.
Amazing views of the mount Fuji and Hakone, take it if you have a free day!
the tour was great and the lunch as well. its a must experience here in Japan
We had an excellent day tour to Mt Fuji and Hakone. Our tour guide Yoko San was informative and interesting and our skilled bus driver made the journey very smooth. It was a full day but felt very well paced. Everything ran on time and we saw so much - beautiful scenery and perfect conditions for viewing My Fuji and surrounds. We would highly recommend this tour.
