The day tour to Mt. Fuji was a nice change from the big city. We stayed in a hotel that was not on the pick up list in Tokyo but took the subway over to a hotel that was. The tour company then gave us a taxi to meet up with the rest of the group at the bus. Our tour guide was the best! She spoke very good English and her voice was so pleasant. Overall we were pleased with the tour. Unfortunately we went on the only day out of the week that it was cloudy and misty. So we went to Mt. Fuji but did not get to see Mt. Fuji! We took the bullet train back to Tokyo and that was fairly easy to navigate as well. Really wish we would have done the 2 day tour package but it was completely booked!

There is very little time on this tour at the actual attractions, we had less than 25 mins at Fuji 5th station the highlight of the tour, less if you include the walk to find the bus afterwards.
Lunch at a hotel takes up valuable time on the tour and the food is definitely not worth the cost, is pre-laid out ready so is therefore cold when we arrived (western menu soup, fries, chicken).
Heavy traffic due to a long public holiday delayed the tour by a couple of hours, of course traffic cannot be predicted but on a public holiday weekend it’s almost a guarantee. The tour should have departed early for example on this particular day to allow time at the attractions.
Due to Volcanic activity for the past few months there are some changes to the tour – we were offered that we could cancel once on the bus at the start of the tour – again this could have been pre-advised via email. There is a clause in the fine print that attractions may change – but again this volcanic activity is a pre-understood change to the schedule. Not something that arose on the day itself. So no Hakone Sky Gondola and no Owakudani Valley stop.
Our guide Hitomi was excellent, very organized and knowledgeable and really made the tour – even with the challenges of time a success.
Tip 1 - I would advise getting yourself to the starting point of the tour, we had 1 hour 15 mins wait from the pick-up point which would have been a quick taxi from our hotel.
Tip 2 – Definitely take the bullet train return taking 2 hours off the travel time.
Tip 3 – Order a la carte from the hotel not pre-set as this will be cold and is very expensive and poor quality.
Whole tour expensive for what you get to see

Thank you Veltra for this enjoyable and great tour! It was a gift for my friend for her birthday and it was definitely the highlight of our trip in Tokyo.
The bus was on time to pick up us up from the hotel. The tour started smoothly all the way to the end. Guide was funny and shared about some Japanese cultures. She also had some jokes that are really funny. It was a perfect day when we were on the 5th station. Sky was blue and you can see the top of the Mt Fuji clearly. It was beautiful.
Lunch at the hotel was pretty good. And yeah we love the pirate boat cruise. Unfortunately, the sky gondola was not available because of the strong winds. We went to the temple instead which was pretty good as well.

自分が参加した日は風が強く、雨の心配もあったのですが、乗車中はどうにか曇りのままでホッとしました。もし雨が降ったら、普通のバスみたいになるのかな?と想像していましたが、「雨が降った場合はレインコートを貸し出します」というアナウンスがあり、雨の場合もオープントップの魅力は損なわれないんだな~と感心しました。
バスに乗ると、目線がものすごく高くなり、信号機や街路樹に手が届きそうなくらいです。目立つバスなので、乗る前は少し恥ずかしいと思っていましたが、実際は街を歩く人たちと目線が違うので全く気になりませんでした。国会議事堂の近くで修学旅行生を引率しているバスガイドさんたちや、道路沿いのショップの方が手を振ったりしてくれて、そんなところにもほっこりしました。
表参道や渋谷はよく行く場所ではありますが、バスの上からでは全く景色が違います。加えて、ガイドさんが詳しい解説をしてくれるので、乗っている間「へぇ~そうなんだ~」と思うことが多く全く飽きませんでした!レインボーブリッジなどに行くコースもあるようなので、今度はまた行き先や時間を変えて参加してみたいと思います。

There are so many temples in Kyoto but this tour took us to the 3 temples I wanted to see and the guide also pointed out all the temples along the way from the bus. It was just enough stops to maintain my 13 year old daughter's interest without getting bored. Audio headset for English and other languages were only used in the bus so we couldn't understand the guide's explanation at all the stops, which was disappointing to us and the rest of the non-Japanese speaking people on our tour. The time spent at each stop was perfect with enough time to quickly browse through the shops and try popular snacks sold near the temples. We received small omiyage or souvenirs from each temple which was a nice surprise! Although it's a ways down a lot of steps, you should take the time to drink the water flowing down 3 channels to a fountain at Kiyomizudera. They say it has wish granting powers for love, academic success and longevity. This was a great tour but would've been perfect if it was in English!

We were picked up at our hotel by our guide, Hashi and driven to where we boarded our bus for the day. Our first view of Mt Fuji was from the bus, and it was magical, with rivers of snow cascading from the the peak. We were driven to the 5th station, however, by the time we arrived, the peak was obstructed by cloud. From here we proceeded to a lovely hotel where we had a rather strange lunch, cold french fries, hot chicken and lovely crumbed prawn with a very watery miso soup. Following this we were taken to a gondola ride to a thermal region behind Lake Ashi, where the bus met us and took us to Lake Ashi for a cruise in a beautifully designed and decorated replica of a French Galleon. Hashi then explained how we would catch the Bullet Train back to Tokyo, and we were driven to the railway station. Several trains sped through the station whilst we were waiting, which was an experience. Our train ride to Tokyo was very comfortable and an experience not to be missed. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Tokyo.

The visit to the Hakone "black eggs" and Sulper Leak was interesting along with the lake cruise, after such a long day the Bullet Train return is a must, back to you hotel as soon as possible.
A wonderful experience, certainly recommended.

表参道、渋谷コースは東京の名所、旧跡を訪ねと言うより、今の東京の住んでいる人々を見るコース。
出発点の三菱ビル前は東京のオフィス街、丸の内。働く人々が行きかうところが見る事が出来ます。バスは東京駅横に見ながら霞が関の方向に向かい出発していきます。霞が関は日本の官庁街、国会議事堂、各省庁の建物を見て進んで行きます。その横は皇居。皇居のお堀を見ながら、表参道方向へ。東京のおしゃれな人たちが集まる表参道、青山と進んで行きます。この頃になると通行する人達はスーツ姿からおしゃれな流行の洋服に変って行きます。天井のないバスなので、この当たりは美味しそうな匂いもしてきます。そして渋谷のスクランブル交差点を通り、東京の人が器用に右往左往に道路を渡る姿を目にする事が出来ます。ここから折り返し地点。また、東京駅へと戻ってきます。迎賓館の並木、ビルの隙間隙間から見る東京タワーが乗客の私たちをわくわくさせてくれます。バスは国交省のビルを横目に見て、丸の内に戻ってきます。
約1時間半の東京人ウオッチングの小旅行の旅が終わります。

This was a good tour. Although we didn't get to view Mt Fuji due to the weather it was still good to go. It's a long day and would suggest taking the bullet train back. Our guide Hashi was knowledgable and helpful. In our opinion we spent too much time at the thermals and the meal we had at the hotel was the worst we had in Japan. But although quite expensive it was a good but not great tour.

丸ビル近くの集合場所でバウチャーをチケットと交換してもらってから搭乗。あらかじめ座席指定がされているので、一人参加でもちょっと安心です。
(目的地を時計回りに進むので、進行方向右側の座席(D側)の方がちょっとおトクな気はします)
走り始めたら、一斉にお客さんから歓声が。
風が気持ちいい!信号機が近い!沿道から手を振ってくれる人がいて妙にうれしい!
あの爽快感はなかなか他では見当たらない種類のものです。正直、オープントップバスがこんなにイイものとは思ってませんでした。
ツアーにはガイドさんが一人添乗し、座席後方からマイクで案内。特に表参道・渋谷を通り抜ける際のスイーツ店情報はかなり力が入ってました(降りられるわけではないですが)。
東京駅・霞ヶ関・表参道・渋谷…と、東京に住んでいれば特に珍しくもない場所が、屋根のない高い視点から風を受けながら眺めると、これほどまでにキラキラして見えるのか!?と新しい発見に満ちたツアーでした。
機会があればと言わず、ぜひ誰かを誘って近いうちにまた乗りに行きたいです。

I 'm remiss in posting this review. My daughter and I took this trip last year. We traveled from Boston to Tokyo and were thrilled that the cherry blossoms were in bloom. We only had three days in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto so this tour was fantastic. We hit all the high points. We started by going to Tokyo Tower. The views were awesome and we were lucky to be able to see Mt. Fuji. We had a tour of the city, a visit to the royal palace, several shrines, a park, lunch and a boat ride. I found the prices very reasonable for all we got and the lunch was terrific as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions. The day was rainy and cold but the spirit of all was very bright. We were lucky that it warmed up and we were able to return on our own to some of the spots we saw. I looked at several tour companies before I left and this was the best. I have recommended this company to my boss when she went to Paris and she was happy with her tours as well. I will be using this company next year when I visit Italy.

We did it in Feb 1st week and it was cold but worth the visit to Hakone and Mt. Fuji.
All the sites were very pretty and luckily we got a clear view of the Mt. Fuji.
Our tour guide was extremely sweet and very patient with all our questions.
The cruise at Lake Ashi was also exhilarating.
The most amazing part was the return by bullet train. The most amazing and fast Shinkasen experience!
Would definitely do this entire tour again in another season to see different scenic views!!!!

観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
