A well-organised tour which was also good value for money. We were on board a very clean tour bus and had an excellent guide called Nao. He communicated very well in English and Japanese and his enthusiasm definitely added to our positive experience. We were very lucky to have perfect weather to see Mt Fuji - time at the 5th station was limited to 30 minutes, but there was more that adequate time for the lunch stop and then more time was spent at Lake Kawaguchi for the boat cruise and panoramic ropeway (which also included time for ice cream and souvenir shopping). We also found no issues with bringing our children along (5yr11mo and 28mo boys). The only negative part of the day was that we did have some difficulty finding the exact meeting point for the bus - signs pointing the way from the main street would have helped us a lot!
I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends!

The tour experience was delightful. The tour bus that I travelled in was spotless and Nao (the allocated tour guide on the day) was exceptional and made the day even better. The experience was well structured from Mount Fuji to the cable cars and ending with the lake tour. 5 stars from me.
Thank you for booking with us!

This was a well organised tour with appropriate time spent at each venue. The various photograph points on the road, at the lunch restaurant and from the lake provide a variety of different angles and scenery around Mt Fuji.
A lot of time is spent on the bus but this is unavoidable due to the distance. Thankfully there are rest stops on the way there and back so the maximum bus time is approximately 1 hour between stops.
Our tour guide Nao was funny and very knowledgeable about the mountain and the various locations we visited.

I chose this tour for the convenience of being picked up from my hotel in Tokyo. The seating in the coach was a little tight but no different from other coaches I've been on in Japan. Unfortunately, our guide repeated herself incessantly throughout the journey and this was exceedingly irritating. I'm sorry to say that I resorted to listening to music through my earphones in preference to hearing what our guide was saying. I booked the lunch option and was pleasantly surprised at the food quality. The place where we stopped catered specifically for large groups and was well set up for these.
My main issue was with the very short amount of time allocated at each stop. The day was cloudy, but with occasional clear spots, providing sporadic opportunities to photograph Mt Fuji. However, with only 15 to 30 minutes at each of the viewing stations, it was frustrating to have to return to the coach so quickly without having enough time to wait for a break in the clouds to take a decent photo of Mt Fuji. That said the views on and around lake Ashi were fabulous and the cable car journey to the top of Mt Komagatake was worthwhile, with some very nice scenery at the summit.
On the way back to Tokyo we chose not to return on the coach (even though we had booked it) and took the bullet train instead. This turned out to be an excellent choice because we were back in Tokyo Central Station within 35 minutes of boarding the train, rather than the three hours or so on the coach.
In fairness to the tour operator, I would say that the short time available at the viewing stations was not their fault, because I suspect that time restrictions applied to the large coaches at each stopping point. In hindsight, I think that I should have booked a more bespoke tour catering for fewer people. Being in a smaller vehicle/group might have provided the flexibility to make brief stops during our journey to take opportunistic photos of Mt Fuji when there were breaks in the clouds.

If you were looking for a very hands off yet exciting tour, look no further! our guide did a very good job organizing the group we had . We ended up seeing some truly amazing sights around Mount Fuji and some beautiful city scapes. Of particular note, was the Rope way as well as the cruise which was a beautiful way to see Mount Fuji. If you have an interest in photography, you'll have great time being able to photograph around Mount Fuji. The Vantage points are excellent! Overall I would say this tour exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone!

Difficult to locate the tour provider at pickup pt, no counter or signage board. The cruise is rather boring, would rather pay more if snacks and drinks can be provided during the cruise since it's a long day tour.

If you go on this tour, please take into account the weather forecast. The morning we left from Tokyo, it was pouring rain. The rest of the day was also covered in grey clouds, rain and fog. We therefore did not see Mt. Fuji at all. Not even a glimpse unfortunately. Although we did go up the cable car, we could not see more than like 30 meters ahead due to the fog.
Although the weather forecast is unpredictable, and the organization is of course not to blame for bad weather (humans can unfortunately not control it) it is a pity that we did not get any compensation whatsoever. Having paid this huge amount of money for a bus tour where we did not even see the mountain has simply been a disappointment. Nevertheless, the tour guide was energetic and nice.

We had a packed day full of activities but it definitely didn't feel rushed or that we didn't have enough time at each activities. The lunch was at a fancy place tasting very delicious, and The lake cruise and ropeways were refreshing providing the best unobscured view of My Fuji The activities were very very good and I would 100% recommend this tour!

If you are looking for a convenient way to see Mount Fuji from japan this is the tour for you. Eko our guide for the day was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun driving between site to sight. Her English was perfect and humor a joy. The lunch was fantastic, lots of variety and tasty. I highly recommend this tour if you only have a day to spend in the region. The option for the fast train back to Tokyo (which we choose last minute during the trip) is also worth the ride and experience. Eko helped us arrange that easily.
Considerations: It is a long day. Time of year - if it's a colder month, i might opt for a shorter tour.

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

While the trip was good, everything went smoothly and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, it was disappointing to learn we have very little time at each stop. We felt very rushed, including for lunch. I suggest the tour return later, or you are upfront with customers that in order to fit in all of the activities the actual time at each stop is very limited.

Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

We were extremely impressed by this tour. It was well-organized and everyone had enough time to experience the itinerary without rushing.
The finer details:
First (and most important): Mount Fuji
- During a clear day, you have many opportunities to see it.
- 5th Station, the Lake Kawaguchi cruise and ropeway all have fantastic views.
- You can buy souvenirs at each stop!
Food
- Lunch was at an amazing restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland. An appetizer, entree, dessert, and coffee/tea are all included.
- You can also explore the surrounding area if you finish eating early!
- You get to have soft serve ice cream at the end of the tour with your pick of interesting flavors.
Efficiency and Comfort
- The bus was very comfortable and there are bathroom breaks during the ride.
- The tour guides (shoutout to Nao-san and David!) were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were fluent in both English and Japanese.
- Despite some traffic, we were pretty much on time for every stop and got back to Shinjuku before 7pm.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Mount Fuji from different viewpoints and have some great food and fun along the way.

The voice in French was recorded with an automatic and robotic voice like Google translate. It was totally unnatural.
Also, the story suddenly stopped when the bus was crossing a new building in order to explain the new building.

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.

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.

We had a free day in Tokyo so decided to book this tour on line before we arrived as was highly recommended by a friend! We weren’t disappointed! Didn’t do a pickup from the hotel we were staying at so we had to jump on the subway to get to the pickup, was easy! Then we were transported to yet another hotel by taxi! Our tour guide Yoshi was brilliant! He covered so much in the full day tour, loved every minute of it! We booked the tour which included the Japanese lunch which was a delicious! Saw all the highlights of Tokyo, even included a boat ride down the river! At the end of the tour the bus dropped us off at the subway as we decided to go to Shibuya before returning to our hotel! Don’t miss this tour!

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.
