Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

Amazing trip to Mount Fuji

Reviewed by: Andy

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.

Thoughful guides

Reviewed by: FC Lew

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.

Surprise ride

Reviewed by: Seow

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

Good pickup arrangment

Reviewed by: Jacky

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.

Fantastic Time on Mt. Fuji Tour

Reviewed by: Derek Edmonds

We had a fabulous time with our guide Taiji. Not only did we luck out in mid December with nearly perfect weather that afforded us with gorgeous views everywhere of Mt. Fuji, but Taiji was able to recommend some great sightseeing as well as shopping spots to us. The highlights included an amazing visit to the kimono museum that Taiji recommended to us that included a magnificent tea room, as well as a fantastic local lunch spot that also included an amazing photo gallery upstairs with one-of-a-kind shots of Mt. Fuji. What an utterly memorable and unforgettable experience! Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful guidance, Taiji!

Ninja Village tricks Tourists to Join this tour

Reviewed by: Richard Tay

The Ninja Village is a boring place with no activity. First thought of the place is a Theme Park exploring attraction. Nothing to experience with, just a young girl with Facebook frame posing as Ninja. The lunch is interesting though, but many tourists wasted food.
The trip ends after a brief site visit of Mount Fuji and a food street village. Tour guides rest and everything quiet inside the bus on return trip. No interaction among participants and no group photography session. Everyone minding their own business.

Mt Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi' Ninja Village Tour

Reviewed by: thalia

Great tour! Fuji was viewable and we were very lucky. Our 2 guides Michael and Xavier were knowledgeable, helpful, very positive people and we would definitely recommend them as our guides.
I suggest if you ask people to meet at the love statue, you should have one of the guides there, as it was a rainy day in the morning and we were standing there not clear if it was the meeting point. We saw a green bus nearby and went to investigate, and that was the actual meeting point, but if we would have continued being passive, we might have missed the bus.

A Rainy Mt. Fuji Trip In August But Still A Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Rose

Mike Otani, the tour guide, was warm, friendly and attentive. His personality added a unique flavor to the tour. That's for sure! The tour bus was comfortable, and you can safely leave your things on the bus as you explore the different sights. Regardless of the clouds covering Mt Fuji during our stop at Lake Kawaguchi, a variety of beautiful flowers and a taste of the delicious, locally made blueberry ice cream made up for the obscured view. We also enjoyed the little fruits and veggie store there and bought fresh plums and tomatoes. Oshino village was charming but very much crowded that it felt like a busy market. Lunch at the ninja-themed village was delicious and filling. The place would probably be more enjoyable for families with young kids that need to get their wiggles out after having to sit still on the bus for some time. Mt Fuji 5th station was amazing! The clouds parted just as we got there and granted a view of the summit. You can get away from the crowds by avoiding the shops and hiking some distance up the Yoshida Trail and taking in the breathtaking views. The 4D experience was awesome and exciting! You really feel as though you are flying over Fuji-san and will appreciate the scenery even more. Disappointing that the schedule was too tight to allow a visit to the “La ville de Gaspard et Lisa” in the adjoining section of the park. Wouldn’t have minded paying extra and going home a little late for that. We do feel the various stops were a bit rushed and would've enjoyed a more leisurely pace to allow us to linger a bit longer at certain places. There is just enough time to take pictures and buy food, produce or souvenirs. Perhaps if the tour were to start earlier, then we would be able to unhurriedly digest the activities. Overall, the tour was excellent and well worth it! Would recommend it again, especially to families with kids. Quality of service is great and we are thankful for the experience. Would easily book another tour with Japan Panoramic.

Mt fuji, oshino lakes and 4d fuji airways

Reviewed by: Ling

It was our first trip to japan and I was traveling with my husband. We chose the mt fuji tour with lunch. The tour was excellent and enjoyable. Our tour guide Nana was friendly and helpful and she provided us with some interesting information about fuji.
Our meeting place was at the love statue at shinjuku in the early morning. We departed about 15 to 20minutes later than scheduled time as there were a few groups who were late. The journey to mt fuji took more than 2 hours as there were a bit of heavy jam along the highway and this was expected as it was a weekend. The scenic view was really beautiful during the journey.
We passed by lake kawaguchi first bfore stopping at Oshino Hakkai, the Oshino Eight Seas, our first stop. The lakes were beautiful and the water was clear with nice reflective images of its surroundings. We grabbed some small local bites which were delicious and we also bought their local corns which was sweet and juicy. After that, we proceeded to our next destination at the ninja village.
We had our ordered japanese local lunch which was delicious. After that we had a relaxing foot onsen before we ended up at the gift shop to buy some nice souvenirs.
After lunch we proceeded to mt fuji 5th station. It was a foggy day and we could only see fujisan on and off at times. Nevertheless the view of mt fuji was beautiful. We managed to get some really nice shots of mt fuji and also with our tour group.
The last stop was the Fuji Airways 4D attraction. It was a unique and memorable experience. We got to see mt fuji all four seasons and the views were breathtaking. This was the highlight of the whole tour. The feeling was surreal and experience was really awesome. It lasted for about 15mins. After that it was bus back to shinjuku. As the night was still early, our guide shared with us some interesting tips on nearby shops we can visit and what we can buy. Overall it was a really enjoyable trip.
I highly recommend this tour!

Superb tour

Reviewed by: S Larrington

I had Mount Fuji on my bucket list and it was simply breathtaking. I was very lucky as the weather was just right to have a spectacular view from Lake Kawaguchi. We made it to the fourth station on Mount Fuji but the clouds had rolled in by then. If I had to make one recommendation to the tour, I would ask for more time at Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi and less time at the Ninja village. (That was a little weak)

It was as awesome as it could get !

Reviewed by: Farah Sarfraz

Let me start by saying a few words about our wonderful guides - Mario and Rick. They went out of their way to ensure that all the folks enjoyed the tour. They were patience and made sure to accommodate various needs of people. Moreover they also had excellent recommendations for things to do in Japan, places to eat etc.

Our first stop at the Lake was for 20 minutes or so - sufficient to take good pictures of Mt. Fuji against the lake's backdrop. As per Rick's reco we had the blueberry ice cream and it was fantastic !

Our next stop the 7 ponds was amazing too and we could grab a few souvenirs here. The clear water in the ponds and the beautiful fish within made it a worthy sight !

Next we stopped at Ninja Village for lunch. The lunch was set menu traditional Japanese lunch with ample chicken and fish options.Since it was set before we arrived it had got a bit cold. But I guess that saved some time and we could spare the remaining 30-35 mins hanging around the village.

The next and most awaited stop was the 4th station at Mt Fuji. Due to weather conditions we could not go up to the 5th station. The guides were very transparent in this regard and already briefed us earlier about it. Since it was snowing the views were completely blocked.

The final destination was the 4D tour at Fuji highlands. Going into it I was highly skeptical that it might be just one of those Star War 4D rides at Disney. But to our surprise it was much more than that. The 4D ride was thrilling and the views of My Fuji that we missed in reality we could see them here. All the four season views through animation were breathtaking !!

Overall we could not have asked for a better trip ! It was probably one of the most fun days in our Japan trip ! Thanks Japan Panoramic Tours for making it such an enjoyable and memorable experience for us

Great customer service, awesome tour!

Reviewed by: Linh

My boyfriend came visited me from Philly during spring break so I wanted to book a tour for the two of us to get out of Tokyo for one day. The tour guides were super friendly and helpful. I loved the way the tour was planned out. It came to several places within an efficient amount of time so that you could get the most out of a day trip without feeling too exhausted/ too bored. Lake Kawaguchi was beautiful! We could see Mt. Fuji clearly. Although we could not get to the fifth station at Mt. Fuji, we still managed to get to 4th station. We came back to Tokyo around 5pm, which was great because then we could still explore Tokyo at night. In short, please book this tour for beautiful memories and convenience because you don't have to do anything pretty much and just enjoy the time with your accompanies.

Good day tour for mt Fuji sightsee

Reviewed by: Tay

The tour is a good overview for people who just wants a day trip to mt Fuji and can't spend more time there. Tourist who doesn't have too much time and can't spend a night near the area.

A beautiful view of mt Fuji can be taken at the lake. Very nice.

The village gives another experience, supposedly one can see the making of soba, there is also a Japanese garden near the bus drop off pt,

The ninja village is ok. Lunch is abit disappointing, it's cold because they prepared earlier. Be prepared to pay more if you want to try the ninja activities. If not it will be just a walk in the 'park' and a place for hot spring for the feet.

5th station stop was abit too short as we had only 5mins which wasn even enough for toliet. But this was due to the jam traffic .

The tour ends off with a stimulation ride of mt Fuji.

Overall, the guides are nice and the tour was well-planned.
