Amazing views and experience.

Reviewed by: Karoliina, 2019/11/23

The tour timetables was well organised, views to mt Fuji and cruise on lake Ashi were amazing. We had good weather but on a bad weather the tour would be very poor because the success is depending on the scenery. The food experience at the restaurant was fine but I dont recommend this trip for vegetarians. The tour guides were polite and friendly but gave only the info about timetables and toilets. The english speaking guide could speak so little english that the we didnt get to hear anything about history or details of the area which we had looked forward to. I wouldn't recommend this tour if youre interested about more than just photographic scenery, pork food and shopping.

Excellent guide, No Halal lunch Buffet and traffic jam.

Reviewed by: M. Fazal B A M, 2018/11/28

I have to thank the English speaking Japanese tour guide for very accomodating. She understands my concern abt Halal food and arrange no meat on my lunchtable buffet. But I hope them to cater for Halal food and longer Gotemba shopping! Else everything was good, apart frm traffic jam for nearly 3hrs when returing to Shinjuku.

Hakone and Mt. Fuji view with gotemba outlet shopping

Reviewed by: Allen and Carmen, 2018/11/13

Overall, the tour was good and organized. Our tour guide, Ms. Mayo was very accommodating and pleasant. I just hope that next time, the tour would give longer time for shopping at gotemba. We would definitely recommend this tour to friends.

Hakone and Mt. Fuji View full day tour from Tokyo

Reviewed by: Genny, 2018/09/27

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy rainy day so we didn't see Mt. Fuji.
Went up the aerial tram and bought black eggs to try.
The best part of the tour was the all-you-can -eat Japanese buffet.
There was a great selection of meats to choose from.

I did not enjoy the outlet mall as they are the same stores as we have in Canada. Even if they weren't, I'm not into shopping..
It was difficult to find a good tour that day as some were cancelled due to the
holiday weekend and there was too much traffic.

Horrible weather on the day nice tour guide.

Reviewed by: Jason, 2018/08/29

The tour would of been fine if the weather was better, fickle mount Fuji was hiding under the fog of a typhoon, the boat ride was wet lol.

Overall the tour guides done the best they could with what they had, on a better day it would of been a better tour.

but considering the weather I thought it a bit lacking.

One of the most relaxing trips in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Natalie , 2018/07/11

Frankly speaking, the lake cruise ride as well as the Hakone Ropeway wasn't really interesting due to the cloudy weather. However, me and my friend must say that the Yakiniku lunch was absolutely delicious. The outlet shopping on the other hand was pretty good as well, we managed to squeeze in 2 and a half hours. Hence, we managed to shop most of the stores in the outlet. The tour in overall wasn't tiring at all as we got plenty of rest in the bus. Would recommend this tour to shopaholics as well as those who are quite lazy to walk around.

Awesome Experience!

Reviewed by: MrNiceGuy, 2018/05/19

This I thought was the best package day tour for 1st timers like me and my family. Although the bus came a little bit late, we generally had a great time for all the beautiful sceneries we saw especially Mt. Fuji. Served Yakiniku lunch was superb! I got a great deal for the Tumi bag I bought @ Gotemba outlet. 2 hrs shopping wasn't enough though. Hope they make it 3 next time...

  • Definitely one for the books!

Perfect Single Day Tour to Hakone

Reviewed by: Chris, 2018/04/17

Excellent trip. Perfect single day tour that takes you to main locations Ashi Lake, Rope Cable with excellent views of Mt Fuji and Gotemba to cap the day with shopping. Of course, an excellent Yakiniku lunch.

Would recommend this to friends.

  • Bus ride down from Rope Cable to Ōwakudani Valley

  • View from Ōwakudani Valley

  • View from Gotemba

  • Lake Ashi Pirate Ship

  • Yakiniku Lunch

Enjoyable!

Reviewed by: Ann, 2018/01/07

The tour was great despite the fact that we were not able to do the ropeway because of the volcanic activity. They refunded the payment for the ropeway though and it was already stated in the voucher that this may happen so we were fine with it. Mt. Fuji was not be visible on the day of the tour as well due to the weather (there is also a disclaimer in the voucher that this might happen) but, we were happy it snowed. It made the trip more fun. Later in the afternoon though, we were luckily enough to be able to view mt fuji from the gotemba outlet. We couldn't see the peak because of the clouds but we were still happy to be able to get a glimpse. The food was great as well. The tour guide spoke in english which was a plus because it made communication easier. So happy we booked this!

Good tour

Reviewed by: Doris B, 2017/06/04

The tour itself was good but the guides need improvement. It was hard to hear the English guide from the back of the bus and she wasn't very good in following up with her guests. The itinerary and logistics were good though.

  • The cruise was relaxing and provided great views of the lake.

Great day out of the city

Reviewed by: Adrian Ng, 2016/11/18

Our trip started with going to Gotemba outlet first due to a change in the schedule. It was a blessing in disguise as we got to view and appreciate a "very shy" but beautiful Mt Fuji for about 1hr at Gotemba before clouds & visibility obscured her from being viewed. Also, we got to see the sulphur vents blowing steam at Hakone which was also special as it doesn't always happen. The all you can eat yakiniku lunch was a real treat too. So a very fun daytrip out of the city

Well organised

Reviewed by: Divia , 2016/06/04

Nice trip with very good guides. Got exactly what was promised with a wonderful view of mount Fugi .only thing is maybe a choice of 5th station instead of the rope way would be nicer. Shopping was good as was the lunch.unlike in most other countries it was so relaxing that the guides are not hinting about their tips,when we gave them. A little present not cash they were so surprised .
