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

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!

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Tokyo sky bus

Reviewed by: Diana

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

An experience we will never forget!

Reviewed by: Meg

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.

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.

Reviewed by: Dan m.

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.

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

Fun!

Reviewed by: idahomom

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.

  • Mt Fuji from the 2nd station

  • Pirate cruise ship

  • View from the Komagatake ropeway.

Tokyo 1-Day Bus Tour with Tokyo Skytree & Tokyo Bay Cruise

Good Introductory Bus Tour

Reviewed by: Newbie Travelers

It was raining a lot the entire time we were on the tour. At the Imperial Palace, there was no time to roam around because we were following the guide and the group took many pictures under the rain. At Asakusa, we were allowed to roam around on our own and strolled along the shops at our own pace. However, we had to wait for everyone at the tour to get back on the bus. Some people choose this to be their last stop and we lost time due to miscommunication. We ended up with less than 10 minutes to spend at the outer fish market.

The main highlights of this tour is the bus ride with the audio commentary and the buffet lunch. The lunch location overlooks the bridge and statue of liberty - spectacular view. There is not enough time to explore the stops provided in the tour. It is best to choose an area to explore and have the bus drop you off as your last stop. We chose Shibuya as our last stop and walked back to Shinjuku.

Other Tips:
1. This tour is good for people arriving on the first day and dont want to explore too much.
2. If you want to eat Japanese food, i would suggest not selecting the lunch. We were full from the American lunch and did not have room to eat dinner!
3. If you like to explore and walk at your own pace (whether fast or slow), then you should not select 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)

Tokyo 1-Day Bus Tour with Tokyo Skytree & Tokyo Bay Cruise

Fewer stops with more in-depth guidance needed

Reviewed by: Farah Sarfraz

To begin with let me highlight an important aspect of the day that may have caused our experience to be inferior. The weather on the day we took the tour was dull and raining at some of the spots

The tour is ideal for people who want to do a self-guided style tour covering most important sites of Tokyo. Since this was our first time we felt that with little guidance from the guide we were basically just strolling around and checking things ourselves

The tour started off with the Imperial Palace east garden. We just strolled past some part, took pics and we're back in the bus. Along the way we passed by some of the districts and the audio guide was helpful in understanding some aspects. But definitely nothing close to having a guide who will explain things. Next we got down at Sensoji shrine but without any guidance just pretty much strolled around. Would have liked to get some history and perspective on the structure.

The outer fish market was extremely boring - it's basically like any other market. Would have loved if the tour gave a peek into the inner market though which surely is more interesting ! Then was the Odaiba cruise which was average.

The best part of the tour was the lunch. It was an American diner with a wide spread of options from Italian to Chinese to a few Turkish dishes. Oh not to forget the traditional Japanese cuisine too.

The guide we felt was a bit inexpeienced but definitely did make our journey comfortable. She was also very accommodating and flexible

Wish this tour was as awesome as the Mt. Fuji one by the same tour company

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

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

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.

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

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.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Hop on and Off in Tokyo

Reviewed by: MN&LG

What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Awesome way to see Tokyo in a short space of time.

Reviewed by: Ismail

The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.

I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.

If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.
