Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

First time in Japan

Reviewed by: AdamB, 2019/05/17

It was the best experience abroad so far to me. From beginning to the end everything was excellent and went as it was said with their promised schedule. Our tour guide was great she informed us not only by sound system but also she used charts and written notes on the large papers sheets to help her messages memorized while she was using quality communicating techniques to help her group stay together and informed well. Bus was very clean and driver did great job along with all route course.

Thank you so much for everything ❤️

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Great experience! Wonderful views! Amazing tour guide!

Reviewed by: J. Brown, 2019/05/14

The tour guide, May, was wonderful! She kept tabs on everyone very well, always making to have everyone when time to head to a new destination. She was very informative on the bus, telling everyone about how Mt. Fuji was formed and why things are certain ways. She even sang us traditional Japanese song for Mt. Fuji in both English and Japanese.

The experience was great. Definitely add the lunch option! So many choices and you definitely get your money's worth!

The tour bus does have wifi, but it was not super strong. My children were able to play apps, but not watch videos from it. There is no bathroom on the bus, so plan to use it before you get on at each stop (important with younger children).

One of the best tours I have experienced!

Reviewed by: Brylee, 2019/05/13

The tour company is very organized and easy to work with. The locations were very fun to visit and the tour guide made it really interesting even if the weather was a little off. I highly recommend this tour during the springtime when the phlox are all out in their glory. Something I will always remember!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Excellent tour. A very good way to see Mt Fuji.

Reviewed by: Garry, 2019/05/12

Excellent tour. Youshi - san was a great tour leader, informative and amusing and spoke excellent English. We were very fortunate to have a clear day to see Mount Fuji and the views were brilliant all day. The lunch was also very good. We enjoyed the sky gondola, the black eggs and the cruise over lake Ashi. Every thing was very punctual and at no point did we feel rushed.We took the option of the bullet train back and Youshi helped us with navigating the station. In all a lovely tour which we thoroughly recommend.

Reviewed by: Alfredo David , 2019/05/09

We had the best tour guide! She was absolutely charming and very knowledgeable. The day was beautiful and we got to see magnificent Mt Fuji but were only able to go up to the 4th station. The nearby waterfalls were incredible too. I loved Oshino Hakkai village with the cherry blossoms and amazing views of Mt Fuji. I definitely recommend this tour.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Mt Fuji Tour, Lunch and Cruise on Lake Ashi

Reviewed by: JohnG, 2019/05/07

We had a long bus ride to Mt Fuji but were disappointed the clouds came in and covered the mountain. We could only get to Level 2 as there was too much congestion and traffic higher up at Level 4. Our lunch was a wonderful selection of local dishes and the cruise on the Pirate Ship on Lake Ashi was crowded and chilly but fun to be part of.

  • Our first glimpse of Mt Fiji

  • The she was gone and stayed hidde all day

  • At least we were there and got to see it

  • Our interesting and tasty lunch

  • We were luck to drive through streets lined with the cherry trees still in flower

  • Marion always like to make a new friend

  • John with one of the eggs cooked in the hot sulphur springs

Enjoyed but the shopping mall isn’t necessary

Reviewed by: Lauren, 2019/05/07

Enjoyed the day. It would have been better to spend more time in the surrounding areas of Mt Fuji rather than spending the last two hours in the shopping mall close by. Well organised though thank you!

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Don't Book with Mt Fuji Tours With Veltra or JTB Sunrise Tours - The send you on tours knowing 100% they cannot deliver the product as advertised

Reviewed by: Kevin, 2019/05/06

It seems both Veltra and JTB Sunrise Tours think its acceptable to sell a tour called "Mount Fuji Tour" when they know 100% in advance that you will not see Mount Fuji

Our experience was as follows

Book online on the Tuesday Evening
Arrive at check in on Wednesday Morning
At check in ask JTB is everything open will we see Mt Fuji - YES

Get on the bus to depart for Mt Fuji

Tour guide runs through the itinerary exactly as advertised
Station 5 Mt Fuji
Cruise
Lunch
Ropeway
Shinkansen Back

1 hour into the drive - OH! sorry Station 5 is closed due to an avalanche we can only go to station 1 today, you wont see Mt Fuji

When we get to station 1 we ask the roadblock security when was the avalanche - 2 days BEFORE!!! so for 3 days they have been selling tours knowing its closed also knowing it will be several days before the avalanche is cleared

So JTB Knew Mt Fuji will not be seen before they sold the tour to myself and busses full of people who booked in the last 3 days, Veltra say they were not informed by JTB and JTB when asked say they only call for an update at 9am AFTER the bus leaves so you have no option to get off and do something else - convenient timing for them and too late for you, but they all knew 2 days in advance, yet no one takes ownership at either company blaming each other - neither company loose out only the customers

Had I known I would not see anything and be on a bus for several hours at the checkin at Niko Hotel JTB Desk I would have cancelled and got 50% refund and booked another tour for the day and done something more productive with my time

Feel quite cheated as did most of the other people on the same bus

JTB/Veltra snake policy is set so you basically can be sold ANY tour and they have a way to not refund you

DISSAPOINTED - CHEATED - WASTE OF TIME - CHECK BEFORE YOU GET ON THE BUS - REQUEST REFUND

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Mt Fuji day trip with hotel pick-up

Reviewed by: Judy, 2019/05/05

The trip was generally good and was saved from an OK rating by actually seeing Mt Fuji from the bus and the first stop. After that we drove to the other side of the mountain where it was covered by cloud and we didn't see it again all day. (Cloudy weather can't be helped but guide said "we are driving to the other side as it is less crowded".) Everything ran on time but better explanation of how to manage Japanese lunch (our first such experience) would have been appreciated. Cruise on Lake Ashi was picturesque but boat was very crowded with standing room only for some guests.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Flower Viewing and Fruit Picking

Great tour

Reviewed by: Ricky D, 2019/04/27

Our tour was fun and enjoyable. We were given ample time to roam around and explore the area. We brought our son with us and he loves the cable car and strawberry picking experience. My wife's highlight was the beautiful flowers almost in full bloom. Mine was the overall convenience and comfort of being in an organized tour. Special thanks to Yuki our sweet guide and Kondo our bus driver for being patient waiting for us. Will highly recommend this tour to friends.

The drive going to Mt. Fuji was smooth. Our tour guide, Amy was excellent and helpful. Too bad we didn't see it at the base or during the boat ride. However, we saw it during the bus ride at least and we're happy.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

To be honest, it was mostly a bus ride

Reviewed by: Renee, 2019/04/26

We did get to see Mt Fuji which was why we went on this tour. Because of this, I rated it fair rather than poor... The boat and sky tram filled in time out of the bus... neither was interesting or exciting. Our tour guide was very bland...he certainly did not make this an enjoyable day. For a couple to go on this excursion at a cost of $250 to 300USD... spend your money elsewhere.

Excellent tour and highly recommended!!

Reviewed by: Max, 2019/04/25

Completely recommend this tour and is well worth it. The scenery and guide are both terrific and it was an awesome day and experience overall. I must say that it is best to do your research regarding the train option before finalising your booking to ensure that you get the best deal. The tour operator offers a discounted ticket for the bullet train if it is bought through them as opposed to buying the ticket at the station.

Mt Ashi and Hakone day tour

Reviewed by: Praneeta, 2019/04/19

The guide was very informative. However couldn't go to fifth station of Mt. Ashi as promised in the tour plan. Instead went to the second station due to whether conditions. It would have be better if this clause was mentioned. One among the very less tours that cover both mount Ashi and Hakone in one day. Covers all the important look out points.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Mountain Fuji and the lake

Reviewed by: Elena, 2019/04/19

Honestly, I expected something completely different. The way was very long, the tour guide was not that excited about the information he presented and most of the facts I knew from the internet tourist sites beforehand. We clearly expected more insight into the history of the place: beautiful legends and folk tales or anecdotes from a local guide.
5-station was closed that day. As for sky gondola and the boat cruise, well, probably on a sunny day, but not on a windy April day. The sky was grey and it was freezing. Smoking valley was just a viewing spot to take a photo and taste a black ice-cream. Sorry to say, but I wouldn’t recommend this trip. I would go for another tour provider.

Mt. Fuji and Hakone Sightseeing Tour with Gotemba Outlet Shopping from Tokyo

The place was beautiful but the guide was meh..

Reviewed by: Ray, 2019/04/15

The places of interests were worth going although it's packed with tourist. I wasn't too happy with the guide because he didn't even bother to explain much about the places of interest. He just took us there and told us to return at a specific time without introducing the place. A bus driver could have done his job. In the package, I was promised to have vocanlo eggs but didn't receive anything at all.

I should opt to visit the places myself instead of following this tour. Disappointed.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Asakusa or Ginza

Very underwhelmed

Reviewed by: Peter Snow, 2019/04/12

The tour was delayed by heavy traffic which as the tours are run almost daily should have been anticipated with an earlier start.
The tour arrived at the Mt Fuji 4th station car park where we waited one hour for a parking space for our coach. The time then available was very limited but sufficient as there was little to see or do. The flank of Mt Fuji shielded by trees is uninspiring, although it was sunny and clear.
We then went for lunch at a lakeside restaurant. The food had been laid out on individual trays and was a very good selection of traditional food.
Immediately after lunch we were back on the coach for a drive to lake Ashi where we disembarked for 20 minutes before the "Cruise". It was a ferry service between stops on the lake and we boarded at one stop and disembarked 15 minutes later at the next.
We went from the landing dock up to the cable car lower station at 16.20 and ascended via the cable car cabin to the top. There was a shrine and viewing points over the lake below.
As we had arrived late at the 4th Station, the clouds had since gathered and there was little to see. Mt Fuji that was fully visible earlier was now covered. at 17.10 the last car descended and we were back on the coach at 17.30. The coach faced 2 hours stuck in traffic back to Tokyo or there was an option to self-fund a bullet train back from Odawara station. I could not leave the tour fast enough and went by train.
For the price I paid of $134 I feel this tour is best avoided.

Pity we could only go to stage 1 on Mount Fuji but only the weather is to blame and not the company.
The lake cruise was very short and perhaps not as interesting as may have been expected? Thew bullet train ride back to Tokyo was great.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Asakusa or Ginza

Hardly more than a day's bus ride!

Reviewed by: Greg L., 2019/04/10

Our group of four paid USD134/person, poor value for what was provided.
Departure from Asakusa was 20mins late for no apparent reason.We made 2 stops to pick up more passengers, made the tour group of 40 people - what happened to the max group of 20 that was indicated?
After approx. 2.5 hours we arrived at the Mt Fuji tourist office for a restroom stop then proceeded to the Mt Fuji 4th station, instead of the 5th station, no problem as it was beyond the control of the tour operator. The trip to the 4th station took almost 1.5 hours, instead of 15 mins. due to the large number of buses on route. The operator should have been aware of this delay and made arrangements for this stop to happen later in the day when not so busy. The 4th station stop was very disappointing as all could be seen was the side of the mountain and some slushy snow on the ground. The local authorities could also have better managed the flow and access of buses by limiting each stop to 15mins rather than leaving it to the discretion of each tour operator. From there we were bused to lunch which was probably the only worthwhile inclusion of the entire day. After lunch we bused to the lakeside to catch a 15 min ferry ride to the Komagatake Ropeway - hardly something one would call a cruise. At the Ropeway we were shuffled into a cable car and once at the top of the mountain told to come straight back down as the Ropeway was about to close down - why bother taking us up in the first place? Back on the bus we were dropped off at Odawara station to catch the Shinkansen back to Tokyo, our choice rather than enduring a 3 hour ride back during peak hour. No compensation/discount was allowed for us making our own way back to Tokyo. Overall this was a complete disappointment and poor value for what was paid. If Sunrise Tours has any conscience it would consider refunding the majority cost of this tour as it did not deliver what was paid for and expected. Voucher No. 5201641 - 4th April 2019.
