Tokyo
Excellent tour to visit both Mt Fuji and Hakone in the day from Tokyo. Convenient and fun. Easy pick up from hotel. Highly recommended!
It was raining and traffic was bad during our visit. We did not see Mt. Fuji and we had to skip the cable car ride. I think we should have skipped the 5th station so we could've taken the cable instead. Although the food was delicious, I had hoped the food they prepared for us was Japanese and not Western food. Make sure to check the weather before booking this trip.
The tour was awesome. It was very well organized and we manage to see and do many things within a day. I would say that the cost of the tour is very cheap considering that there are alot of activities within it. The food was splendid and the tour guide was very helpful. Just love it !
Very much on time and tour guide was nice. Great experience and good experience
If you are a gambler go in summer as you have to be very lucky to see Mt Fuji because of mist and clouds. Our would not tell us how many days you could see Mt Fugi in summer she would not say but when one goes up the cable car the recorded message says you cannot see the mountain due to cloud! We were very lucky to see the peak for a few minutes from station 5. Our daughter went the week before and saw nothing. Best to go other times of year. Cable car ride was not very good as no view because of the cloud and the temple at the top was closed. Boat trip and lunch were both good. Advise catching train home as only 30-40 minutes compared to several hours that our daughter suffered on the coach because of bad traffic. Catching the bullet train was an experience in itself. Shima, our guide was good.
I was so excited to visit the Mount Fuji, finally we arrived at the 5th station and the journey even if it is long it is quite enjoyable and worth it. The guide is well informed and organised, I have learned quite a lot of information about old japan and their history, and than when you see the Mount you really think is great you did it! And I was also lucky that there was not fog and the sky was clear, but the journey continued we had a very nice lake cruise and reached the Mt. Komagatake by riding an aerial cableway to view the Hakone National Park. To return back to Tokyo I have choosen the Shinkansen high-speed bullet train, which was fast and perfect to get back in not time.
Convenient 1 day trip to Hakone and Mt. Fuji. A lot of bus drive, but a lot of experiences.
This day tour to Mt. Fuji and Hakone was quite an adventure as it
allowed us to see a different side of Japan. We were saddened that we
didn't get to see Mt. Fuji due to poor weather conditions. However, the
Shinkansen ride at the end of the day made up for it. Also, our tour
guide Mayumi made our long bus ride very fun and educational by bringing
along props to show us. We would recommend this tour to all our friends
and family.
Thank you for your warm message. We will share your message with the guide and our team members. We look forward to meeting you again in the near future. Best regards, JTB Sunrise tours (IZUMI)
We were able to see Mt Fugi and travel up to station 5! There was a stop along the way to use the restroom. Dinner was yummy at a beautiful hotel. We just wish it had been Japanese style food- not western- that is why we are IN Japan! We also wish there had been more time devoted at being at the mountain. It was very rushed and so very crowded. SO much time was spent waiting in lines.
Very nice tour , but its too short time in Mt Fuji ,, only 30 menit we can not do anything the guide always push us to be quick ...
The tour was well organized and on schedule. The tour guide was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent.
The whole experience was wonderful, we were staying at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel so it was easy as the main lobby was the pick up point for us, after the pick up we were taken in the coach to the main station where the bUs took us to the ride, although being a weekend the drive was slow due to traffic, we enjoyed with the guide Ann, who spoke excellent English, had a great sense of humour and kept the whole list interesting with insights about the places we would see along the way.
Each and every sight was worth it, a great way to see the place and enjoy the ride back on the bullet train which dropped as back to Shinagawa station straight away.
Highly recommended for any tourist to take this trip with them.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour and thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
We will be sharing your review with the rest of our company.
Best regards, WALTER
Great tour! Great tour guide and very happy that requested return by train! Saved about three hour of bus ride
The tour guide is very cheerful. She's got a lot of inputs about mt. Fuji and the towns we passed by. She taught us numbers from one to ten in japanese where you can get and absorb right away because of the way she presented it. she also taught us how to make mt fuji art made out of origami paper during the bus ride. The drivers were very good and very efficient even with the long and winding road. It doesn't make my kids dizzy. It was a great and fun experience.
It was very well organized tour, thanking to the guide Mrs. Hitomi.
We wish we could see the Fuji yama but it was so foggy, even though we enjoyed all activities.
The tour guide (kamiko) took care of the whole tour bus group from the hotel to the bullet train. Pickup was right outside of our hotel and straight to mt. Fuji which was very clear that day! Then to hakone for a cruise on the lake and a cable car up to the too of that mountain to see mt fuji across the lake. Then we were dropped off at the bullet train station with ticket included. The whole day was carefree!
Enjoyable tour, very helpful tour guide who did her best to make sure we got to every place! It was a clear day so we managed to see Mt Fuji (I understand this doesn't always happen). We couldn't go to eat the egg at the volcano because of the earthquake situation. But Hakone was beautiful! Definitely the highlight of my trip to Japan, and my parents enjoyed it too. I would highly recommend this day trip :)
The order procedure went smoothly. I called City Discovery with a question, it was answered immediately and my question is also answered promptly. Yes, I would recommend you to others.
Everything was great on this tour! The tour bus was very comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Even though we only went to the 2nd station, I think that was great. We were lucky because we were able to see Fuji clearly as the clouds passed. Then we stopped for lunch, which was prepared and waiting for us when we arrived. The lunch was definitely worth the extra money. Next we arrived at Lake Ashi and rode the pirate ship to the other side of the lake. Great scenery and even a glimpse of Fuji from the lake. We then took the Komagatake ropeway tram. It was very crowded and we probably had to wait an hour to get on the tram. Beautiful views and a short hike to a shrine were waiting at the top. Lastly, we were dropped off at the train station and rode the bullet train back to Tokyo. I would definitely recommend taking the bullet train back because otherwise it would add another 2-3 hours to the day if you take the tour bus back. All in all, everything about this tour was perfect and I would recommend it to anyone.
Great trip to see mt. Fuji! Good itinerary for the day as well.
Very good tour guide - junko-san! She entertained everyone with mini activities, sang for the group, and knows her stuff. Not a second wasted for this trip. :) my mom totally enjoyed it
The best tour we had while in Japan! Ashi cruise and bullet train experience were the best part. Yummy lunch :-)
We had a fantastic day with a comlete view of Mt Fuji!
Take, our super guide made the long trip very easy for us. He was very helpful and shortened the hours on the bus with information on Japanese life and coulture! Thank you Take!!
Excellent service and will definitely recommend to my relatives and friends. *** nPhilippines
It was a nice day so we saw Fujisan clearly. Overall was a good trip and the tour guide was very helpful.
The tour was great! Our guide was amazing! Thank you!
Not anybody fault, but Mount Fuji was 'hiding' when we had this tour, because its cloudy.
A couple of delay happened (the longest because a couple of participants opt to buy their own lunch and its took a long time for the rest to prepare). Perhaps there shd be any warning before for participants, so they are prepared (ie. Bring their own lunch).
Unfortunately the weather was not great, hence we only made it to 1st station.
Managed to catch a glimpse of Mt Fuji from the tour bus when the clouds cleared a little in the afternoon.
Weather was also misty when we were on the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway - hence views were not promising and the cable car was jam packed.
But the tour guide was very good - spoke excellent English and was very helpful catering to > 40 paxes. Ichiban on his service
This tour was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although my intended package wasn't available, they suggested another similar one which was amazing as well.nThe tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice.nI will most certainly recommend this tour to others.
I found the whole experience very simple and straightforward with all the required information being easily to hand. I would definitely recommend this site for ease of use and clarity of information.
This was my first time going to Mt.fuji, we departed from Shinjuku, the meeting place was easy to find (even for someone who doesn't know Japanese). We arrived at the fifth station at around 11:30, the bus was comfortable so I was basically sleeping all the way to Mt. fuji. The weather was really nice, so I could clearly see Mt.fuji, lucky haha! We had an English speaking guide on that day, she is very kind and can speak good English. I am planning to go Mt. fuji again sometime during the autumn, and will definitely join this tour again!!
