Review of Mt Fuji Tour with Jojo J

Reviewed by: Robert M., 2023/10/25

Hello Veltra,
Just wanted to share the great experience I had on the Mt Fuji Tour package with Jojo. This tour was my second time in six years and lived up to expectations each time. I especially want thank Jojo who was very professional, personable and courteous. The trip to Mt Fuji was terrific but, especially terrific because of Jojo’s effervescence as Japanese cultural background Ambassador and delivered it with humor and kindness,
Thank you all for an amazing day!

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Really enjoyable trip with a great guide

Reviewed by: Sarah - from Ireland, 2020/03/14

Our lady guide made our trip all the more enjoyable as we travelled on the bus to Mt Fuji by Telling us funny but interesting little stories on Japan’s culture & growing up there. We even made our own Mt Fuji from colored paper that she gave us & then following her instructions . Once the trip was over our guide checked where we were staying so she could assist us with directions to get back there from the drop off station. A wonderful caring guide. The dinner was lovely and we got lots to eat & we all got fed really quickly on arrival there. Catering ladies were really nice too.
The weather that day was just perfect to view Mt Fuji so my daughter & I totally enjoyed our trip and would recommend it as great value for the cost.

The cruise as well as the ropeway was an experience that will stay with me for a long time. Will definitely do it again. Five star.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

A comfortable 1 day trip.

Reviewed by: Sadia, 2020/03/06

It was a great experience. I have already recommended this to my coworkers who have expressed interest to visit mt Fuji. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating right after lunch. I have failed to see Mt Fuji when we got to Hakone (Lake Ashi cruise and cable car) which was THE major attraction. I wish I got to see Mount Fuji from the cable car. :( But, we cannot fight with the weather. Anyways, I took the bullet train back. Overall, I am happy. Thank you.

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

Amazing Mt. Fuji Trip!

Reviewed by: Charm, 2020/03/06

I was very lucky that we had a clear day during our Mt. Fuji trip so the group I was with was able to do and visit all the attractions as stated on the description except that we were only able to visit 1st station since 4th and 5th station were closed due to heavy snow. It's not a big deal though as there are still lots of chances to see the magnificent Mt. Fuji on the way. If you're planning to visit Mt Fuji during winter, make sure to layer well since its colder there compared to the city. Expect as well a long travel time from Tokyo to Mt Fuji as it's roughly 139 km away. And lastly, I highly suggest to take the option with Bullet train as it will only take you 40 mins back to Tokyo compared to 2-3 hours travel back by bus.

FYI, the bus first row (left and right) are reserved for the guide and driver#2!

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Much better than expected!

Reviewed by: Glennda and Nick, 2020/03/03

At first I was apprehensive about purchasing this tour, but am I ever glad I did. My son and I had a wonderful time. Our guide Keiko was very informative and engaging throughout the tour. The weather was great in the morning, so we were able to see Fuji. Since we couldn't go to the 5th station, we were treated to an alternate stop which was just as engaging. The tour was run with precision and met all expectations. I will book with this company again.

Long but fascinating day

Reviewed by: Gerald Fitzgibbon, 2020/02/26

Our guide was a wealth of knowledge re politics , history and geography of the Mt Fuji region. He really added great depth to what was a well organized tour blessed with great weather.

We elected to take the Shinkasen train back to Tokyo which was fast and given the heavy traffic expected, a good call in getting back fast.

Highly recommend.

Best day

Reviewed by: Shanaye and Jarrad, 2020/02/24

Our guide Kanae was incredible with sunrise tours! Kanae spoke amazing English and was very informative throughout the tour day.
We managed to score the best weather you could imagine for this experience with mt fuji in its glory!
Lunch was incredible
Transportation by bus there and bullet train return was the best way for time and comfort.
Would definitely do it again and highly highly recommend sunrise tours for this day.

Mt.Fuji

Reviewed by: Malathi , 2020/01/18

Overall it was a good trip. Service was good and the staffs are very helpful. We was informed it was snowing at Mt.Fuji, the tour guide keep us informed on the situation whether we able to goes up atleast station 2 but unfortunately we could not make it. Although it was sad unable to see Mt.Fuji, but the base was amazing covered with the snow.

Lake Ashi amazing again no luck to see Mt.Fuji view due to rain and cloudy.

For my niece, this trip is memorable and her dream comes true for able to see snow.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Gotemba Shopping, Hakone Ropeway and Lake Ashi

Not worth it

Reviewed by: Wira, 2020/01/14

Wasting time... because after reach mt. Fuji just until station 1 then just only play in the kids playground. Not reach even just station 3, don't know why.

Pirates ship, hakone rope way cure the pain finally.

But still not worth it for money, main object mt fuji have to take more time maybe.

Comments from activity operators

Hi, thank you for the feedback. During winter time, access to Mt. Fuji stations may be blocked due to weather conditions. Especially between December and March, schedule is changed to snow playing at Mt. Fuji 2nd Station and sometimes 1st Station. We appreciate your kind understanding on this. Considering other activities in this trip, we aim to allocate enough time if possible, are very sorry if that was not sufficient for you. For tours in the future, we will try to collect more advices and make improvement. We also wish you best luck for travels!

Comments from activity operators

Hi, thank you for the feedback, and joining us for this one-day tour. Due to the arrangement of schedule, bento box is offered for lunch on the bus while moving. It could be somehow difficult for passengers especially when there are little kids. We apologize for the inconvenience of doing in this way and hope the lunch part worked out OK for you.
Most our tour guides can speak English, and we also make assignment according to nationalities of travelers. Please let us know further if you had any issues with the guide and communication, or even trouble during the trip. Also hope you had some rest after the tour. Thank you again for your time. :)

Good Tour

Reviewed by: Chaitanya Kartheek , 2020/01/12

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

Life changing

Reviewed by: Rebecca, 2019/12/27

This was an amazing experience with no pressure. Hop on the bus, lay back, and see more of sites than you can ever imagine.
Mt Fuji was breathtaking. Grown adults were frolicking I’m their first ever snow experience. Boat ride was short but worth it. Gondola ride, not for those afraid of heights! But at least I tried.
Wouldn’t change a thing about it!
And ours was the most knowledgeable and funny guide. Her name sounds like “Cumin” as she put it.
Love. Love. Love.

Pleasant experience!

Reviewed by: Eliza, 2019/12/21

The reason we chose this company was due to its pick up point. The planning by the tour company was efficient. The tour representative met us at our hotel, Asakusa View Hotel, punctually. We set off on time. However, due to unfavourable weather, we could only reach Station 1 with zero visibility of Mount Fuji. Our guide, Ms Mayumi, was very friendly and shared with us lots of valuable information and history. We opted for no lunch but given a table at the restaurant. Really appreciate that! Ms Mayumi managed to arrange for us to view Mt Fuji on the way to Hakone. We managed to take some pictures of Mt Fuji. The cruise at Lake Ashi was breathtaking. The Ropeway was fine except for the weather.
We took the coach back to Tokyo. The drop off point was at Ginza. Ms Mayumi entertained us with lots of hands on during the journey. She demonstrated wearing kimono and making origami. When we reached Tokyo, Ms Mayumi went the extra mile to explain the places we passed by. Really wonderful of her. She showed us Ginza Station so we could make our way back to the hotel.
I would recommend this tour as the company representatives are very professional.

Very enjoyable Mt Fuji tour.

Reviewed by: Anders W., 2019/12/16

Great trip. We were blessed with good weather allowing us to visit the 5th station and see Mt Fuji up close, and clear, although it is pretty cold up there (with the wind chill). Tour guide Yoshi is very professional, courteous, helpful all the way. He provided some good Japanese cultural and historical information which helped us to enjoy the tour even more. The Hakone ropeway ride and the Ashi cruise were also very enjoyable. The lunch was enjoyable. Everything in the trip was great. The drivers were safe & courteous. I couldn't ask for any more. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Good day trip from Tokyo

Reviewed by: Leong, 2019/12/06

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Long day in foggy rainy Mt Fuji

Reviewed by: Bob L, 2019/12/02

The guide was very good and informative. However, Mt Fuji was completely fogged in (even it was hard to see the shops at the 5th station in the fog), and it was rainy, foggy for all of the other sites. The lunch was great, though, and it was a nice day to get out of the city into the countryside. Because pretty much all of the sites were not visible I would have hoped that this tour be rescheduled (the following day was clear).

Mt. Fuji and Owakudani Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Gotemba Shopping

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.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Komagatake Ropeway Ride

Good experience but could have been better

Reviewed by: Deepali Prabhu, 2019/11/17

It was a good experience for us visiting Mount Fuji and Hakone. The weather was perfect and we could see Mount Fuji clearly. We started at 7.45 from our hotel but left at only 9.15 from Hamamoutchi bus terminal. A lot of time was spent in picking up guests from each location. By the time we left we faced a lot of traffic. We didn't get enough time at each stop with about 45mins at 5th station, 15 mins cruise and about 30 mins at the Ropeway. So for a total of 90 mins of actual sightseeing we spent about 8.5 hours in bus (including an hour for lunch). Hence I think time management could have been better with only 1 pickup location at leaving Tokyo at 8 to avoid traffic. Hamamoutchi should be completely avoided.

Apart from this, the tour was good. The bus was comfortable. The guide spoke English well and provided a lot of information. There were 2 options for lunch, vegetarian and chicken. The lunch was good and the staff at the restaurant was very friendly. Overall it was a good experience but they could have managed the time better.

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

Started well but deteriorated into boredom then chaos.

Reviewed by: Wayne, 2019/11/07

Pick up was efficient but the time was an hour later than that advertised in the literature, Mount Fuji was great, lunch was fine then it rapidly deteriorated. The post lunch itinerary was changed due to volcanic activity at the advertised ropeway. The lake cruise was forgettable, it was overcast and wind, it was very poorly supervised by the guide who gave garbled instructions that we couldn’t understand The ropeway was left to last by which time it was getting dark and the wind was getting up so we gave it a miss and poodles around for an hour in the souvenir stalls.

The return was chaotic we wasted ages dropping off people returning to Tokyo by train then it was a crawl even though the congestion wasn’t bad. It took more than 3 hours to cover the 70 km from the ropeway to our hotel

We were a little unlucky with the weather however Mt Fuji was visible for a very limited time throughout the day. Would highly recommend for anyone with limited time in Tokyo as a must see!
Lake Ashi cruise was also beautiful and gave us another brief view of Mt Fuji as the clouds parted.
