All Reviews for Mt. Fuji Day Tours from Tokyo

A great tour to Mt Fuji away from the Tokyo city. My wife and i enjoyed this tour more than our 1 week stay in Tokyo! It was a beautiful day in November and Mt Fuji was clear as day. Our tour guy was also very helpful, nice and friendly. We opted for the round trip bus ride to tour Mt Fuji, experience the ropeway and ride the pleasure boat. We also had a great western lunch. Im a big eater and was afraid i would be hungry throughout the trip but the lunch they provided was actually filling. overall, best tour we've had! If i could make one suggestion it would be to spend an extra 10 minutes at each location/stop for tourists to enjoy the area at its fullest extent. I felt a bit rushed getting back to the bus on time, however, i really enjoyed the tour and would highly suggest it

I with my friend rabon from Nepal visited the mt Fuji with the help of CETRA tours package, it was great experience they made this journey very happy. I wish to go again. Thank you

A terrific way to see Mt Fuji and many of the sites associated with it

I think it's a great way to spend a day if you are visiting Tokyo - well worth it

It was a beautiful trip. The tour guide and the driver were very pleasant. The bus that we rode was clean and extremely comfortable too. I would recommend this to anyone! Japan is such a beautiful country to visit but the best part was the people as well!

Our tour guide Mr Tetsuya "Teddy" ISHIDA, and driver 林 were very punctual and very friendly. He speak good in mandarin and English.
This trip is completely tailored to suit our family of five (3, 9 and 12 year old)
We were all blown away with how well we all enjoyed our day trip. We managed to get some brilliant images of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended- money well spent

The trip was just ok although it seemed like a succession of gift shops and loo stops with lots of time in a overheated coach, with not much information or commentary. I think one if the attraction s should be dropped because the very worst part was the endless drive back into Tokyo in rush hour then being dropped in the busiest part of town. Who would design a tour like that, deliberately adding hours in a coach to an already overlong day? The tour should be shortened and the end point should be the same as the start point

Booked package tour through veltra.com and immediately after online payment email confirmation received for tour details and pick up point. I found difficulty in locating pick up point, so advised travelers to have sufficient time margin in reaching pick up point, as bus departs on time without any further wait. Japanese people are very strict on time, so when they announce for time, be careful and return to bus before that time, otherwise you may miss the bus on any sightseeing point. Booked vegetarian food, but could not get anything there even salad was having meat. Alcohol are mixed in most food products. Vegetarian are advised not to book food in package. Better to carry your own food as alternate food availability is also not there other than included in package. It was sunny day, hence could see Mt Fuji amazing views and it made our day. 5th station was closed due to snow fall, hence we returned from 1st station. Only 10 min was given at first station, which was most beautiful place in entire trip and this was negative. Lot of time spent for lunch which was not necessary. Cruise trip was in dark, so it was just a boating, could not see the beauty around mountain. Return ticket for bullet train was given in bus and highly recommended due to heavy traffic jam during return trip. It took only 35 min to reach Tokiyo instead of 2.5-4 hrs in bus. Overall package cost was more, however tour is worth due to natural beauty. Lady guide was fluent in English and coordinated well the entire trip, except for time management. Recommend every traveler to visit Mount Fuji, it is must tour if you are in Tokiyo. You can leave Tokiyo city tour, if time does not permit but Mt Fuji tour is must, if whether permits.

We enjoyed our trip and Hiro was very helpful and so polite! We would recommend this trip to anyone visiting tokyo!

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Great tour, great guide and bus driver. Tour could have went a little longer at each stop it ended 2 hours earlier then our itinerary stated. Each stop was gorgeous sight and picturesque.

Interesting, fun and definitely worth the price.
Tour guide was very informative and funy and lunch buffet was good quality with many choices ...
We really enjoyed this trip.

The view of mount fuji is spectacular, the tour guide provide a good information of the history details.
Overall is a good experience

This was a great tour, unfortunately Mt. Fuji was hidden with fog but I still had a great time.

The tour guide, Terri, was so sweet and her English was quite good, she was very clear on where we were going, how long we had there and when we needed to be back on the bus. She had plenty of information about building and sites we saw or were going to along the way.

We stopped at a rest station for a bathroom break along the way, there is a Starbucks in there in case anyone needed some extra caffeine.

I do really wish we have more time at 5th station, 30 minutes just doesn't seem like a lot of time. I never did find the Fuji shaped bread I think it was in a shop I didn't get too nor did I make it to the shrine.

The lunch at Fuji Q Highlands was delicious, it came out quick so if you are a fast eater like I am you can get done in about 30 minutes and have time to do a little exploring before you leave.

The Lake cruise was a bit cramped, my friends and I managed to get seats inside which is good because it was really cold outside. On a nice day I'm sure sitting out on the deck of the ship would be lovely. On the ship we got fortunes, which our guide happily read and explained to us what they meant.

The Kachi Kachi Ropeway cable car was very crowded (the ropeway crams so many people in the car on the way up). Once up top it wasn't bad, I bet the views are spectacular when its not cloudly/foggy. There's not much to do up top in bad weather but it was nice to check out.

There is a couple of shops at the base of the ropeway that are cool, we were given a coupon for a free ice cream or 300 yen off of a purchase which was an unexpected surprise.

The ride back to Shinjuku was fairly quiet, but our tour guide had some more cool information to impart to us about buildings that were lit up at night. She even handed out some origami cranes to all the attendees.

All in all it was a great experience and I would happily go again.

Fantastic and friendly Driver and guide. Very accommodating and great access for my large electric Wheelchair
As first-time travellers to Japan from Australia we had a great time.
Highly recommended

The guide was very good and informative. However, Mt Fuji was completely fogged in (even it was hard to see the shops at the 5th station in the fog), and it was rainy, foggy for all of the other sites. The lunch was great, though, and it was a nice day to get out of the city into the countryside. Because pretty much all of the sites were not visible I would have hoped that this tour be rescheduled (the following day was clear).

Great tour to see Mt Fuji. We were very lucky to see it without too many clouds in the morning and it left me speechless. Tour brought us to the Fifth Station (on Mt Fuji) and we were able to see the top with the snow, it was beautiful! Then we continued to get lunch at a cute restaurant before going on the rope way ride and finish the tour with a nice cruise on Lake Kawaguchi. It got cloudy during the afternoon so we haven't been able to see Mt Fuji during the rope way ride nor during the cruise but it was still awesome and there is so much to see and take in.The guide was friendly and I would definitely recommend this tour! I also strongly suggest that you check the weather before you book your tour to make sure it's not too cloudy!

Both were great in providing the service, and the driver were really eager to make sure all of us had great time during that day. He also took us to very special place where we could enjoy watching Mount Fuji although the 5th station was closed due to slippery. Was such a great experience and service.

For the price, the tour was great.
Easy location to find and super easy boarding/checking in process, places to buy food and stop for the toilet on route, lots of free time to do what you want and to choose to do or not to do certain activities.

All in all a very easy, unstressful day. Which is what I find is the best way on these day excursions - and for the price, roughly £55 for the day (minus activities), its a great and cheap way to go see a beautiful and popular place in Japan.
Good job guys

Both my wife and I decided to take a trip to Mt.Fuji and we found about this trip. We enjoyed thoroughly and had great time. The staff were very courteous and informative too. I would recommend to carry atleast 20000 Yen just in case as the places that are covered during the trip are mostly in the rural part and most vendor accept cash and no credit card. If you plan to buy gifts it's recommended to carry more cash.

The tour was wonderful from the beginning, the tour guide named Sage was a wonderful guy, kept us entertained with his interactiove talk and games, we learned Japanese launguage , culture and all details about the places we went.
He had entertainment for all age groups.
Then Ninja village was good and lunch was sumptuous , specially to metions there was seperate veg food

The booking experience with Veltra was good. Their customer care was quite responsive as well. The booking details did mentioned the waiting location was at Shinjuku Center Building with a person holding sign board, however, the building area is quite big with few entrances, unluckily, Google brought us to incorrect entrance and we spent some time to find the correct entrance. After boarded bus, the lady tour guide provided each family a handout and started to introduce Japan and Tokyo. She seems just read some script for the whole introduction. We hardly can understand what was she talking due to different slang. It took us about 3 hours to reach 5th station. Before alight, the lady tour guide just informed us need to be back to the bus in 45 mins. No further information was provided. We did not know what to expect and what to do after alighted bus. The handout that she provided earlier was for the 2nd itinerary, cruise and ropeway and nothing about 5th station. It was a rainy day and was very cold. End up we spent the 45 mins to search and queuing up for toilet. 1 of the family didn't get back to the bus on time. We being 'punished' to have shorter lunch later. The ambience of the lunch venue as well as their meal was great. We enjoyed very much for the lunch. After lunch, while we getting up to the bus, the lady tour guide distributed each of us 2 vouchers, one for cruise and another one for free ice-cream. Unfortunately, we were being distributed with the wrong numbers of voucher. We got 1 more free ice-cream voucher but 1 less cruise voucher. While we noticed this mistake, it was too late to clarify with the lady tour guide as she was left with the bus. We were being arranged to get back to Tokyo with different tour guide and different bus. Overall, we did not have good experience with the services that this tour provided, but we would like to praise for the great lunch, clean bus and beautiful scenery. We hope we can have more time at 5th station.

We took Mt.Fuji, Oshino Hakkai Village Tour with Veltra and It was really an amazing trip.

Nice English Speaking Guide..

Thanks a lot...

We hoped to see Mt. Fuji, but, unfortunately, it rained the day of our booked tour and Mt. Fuji was not to be seen. But all was not lost. Our driver, Toshi, picked us up promptly at the scheduled time and drove us to the Mt. Fuji area. On the way he gave us information on local sites that we passed. Our guide, Yuko, was very knowledgeable and gave us options for our rainy day. Our driver and guide learned that we liked to hike so we went to a beautiful shrine at the base of Mt. Fuji and hiked on an ancient trail to the first station. A great way to experience Mt. Fuji on a rainy day. Yuko gave much information on local customs and the Shinto religion involving the mountain. We then had a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. Following this, we chose to go to a museum featuring a world renowned textile artist who made kimono art. These were fabulous. It was then late in the day and we traveled back to Tokyo. A different experience than we hoped for due to the rain, but a memorable and enjoyable day thanks to Toshi and Yuko. We definitely recommend their services for guide and driver for the Mt. Fuji tour. They’re the best!

This tour is definitely value for money compared to others. You get a bus ride to the 5th Station, nice lunch, boat ride and rope way experience to a look out. It was mostly well organised outside of the tour guide not knowing how many kids were in our group or what defined a child according to the tour company, and that our group consisted of 4 women instead of 2 men and 2 women. Also, I had spoken to the Veltra staff Well in advanced, about organising a meal that my kids could have for lunch due to allergies and they were extremely helpful however on the day, my 10, 12 and 14 year olds were given 3 blocks each of what I assume was not warm tempura tofu. Thank goodness the dessert was something they liked.

We saw Mt Fuji the whole way on the way to the 5th station however as soon as we arrived at the 5th station, the clouds came over and that was the end of that. I can imagine that the boat ride, rope way and look out would have been amazing if Mt Fuji was visible but it wasn’t. I guess that can’t be helped. Maybe the timing of the tour is out. I’m not sure.
Anyway, overall the tour was good and worth booking in the hope of seeing an amazing view of Mt Fuji. Good luck.

Really enjoyed this tour. Would recommend a weekday tour rather than weekend though. We booked for a Sunday and traffic to Fuji was thick and delayed which shortened time at the portion of tour visit to station of Mt Fuji. Also very crowded on Sundays. Tour guide was very pleasant and spoke very good English. Ropeway ride and lake cruise were a good combination. Tour Bus was clean and comfortable. Lunch stop and restaurant was great. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to book a tour for Mt Fuji.

Yuki was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I only gave it 4 stars because lunch wasn’t great, and there really wasn’t time to get other food because we saw so many wonderful things.

We took 3hrs to reach 5th station and was given 45 minutes before departure. During the 45min, we were only able go to restroom as the restroom were so crowded, and took a few pictures around the shops..no time to walk around the fifth station at all..after that we head for lunch. The ambience of the restaurant was nice but we were only given 45min to finish our lunch..Lastly we went to cruise and ropeway before we headed back to shinjuku at 5pm. The overall experience was not very good as we spent most of the time traveling and limited time at the spot, the lady guide was not very friendly and instruction given was not clear.

The tour was amazing and Makoto our tour guide is very informative, funny and mostly very patient. Though we couldn't see Mt. Fuji that much (because it is cloudy), we still enjoyed our tour. We also like the Shiraito Falls coz of the relaxing view and the sounds of the waterfalls. When I go back to Japan, I would like to try the other tours from Veltra. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

We had a wonderful time on this tour, our tour guide mayumi was kind and giving details on the places we visited, we also had a safe trip.

Overall experience was great, we took a lot of pictures and mt fuji was so beautiful. In Lake kawaguchi we were amazed by the colorful leaves and beautiful scenery.

Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and relatives.

Thank you for this experience.

It was a superb trip. Everything went on as planned with right time pickup. The guide was excellent. All places were visited as per the brochure. Lunch was very good. OnlY the weather was very bad.
