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

No regrets going on the tour!

Reviewed by: Sue, 2018/09/23

We went on the tour on a Sunday over a long weekend so the traffic heading to Mount Fuji was bad. What usually takes 90mins became a 3 hours bus ride there. What was meant to be a 9 hour tour became a 12 hour tour because of the traffic jam going and returning. We had Blair as our guide and he did a great job managing our expectations, cracking jokes so that the long hours in the bus were bearable. He was really friendly and helpful. We didn't have much time at Ninja Village and Lake Kawaguchi because of the traffic jam, but we got to see Mount Fuji very clearly from the 5th station. The 4D simulation ride was also good fun although I did feel a bit giddy after watching it (from the visuals). I would still recommend it nonetheless.

The buffet lunch was average, and not worth 2,000 Yen in my opinion, but because of the crowds there, it was helpful to have lunch provided and all ready when you arrive (saves a lot of time).

If you don't have time to stay over in that area, this tour covers a lot in a day.

  • Oshino Hakkai. It was very crowded.

  • View from Ninja Village

  • View of Mount Fuji from the 5th station.

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

Mount Fuji

Reviewed by: Iain, 2018/09/16

The tour was well organised, the tour guide was the best we had all week, Yoshi was helpful and informative. The weather was not the best but we still had an amazing time. 5th Station was very misty, the shrine there was worth a look. Cable car up to Volcano crater was good, black eggs and a spot of shopping. The boat trip was good, we managed to see Mount Fuji for about 30 seconds and got a picture too.

Shared shuttle from Yokohama Port to Hotel

Reviewed by: Connie, 2018/09/07

I had a very good experience with the shared shuttle van from Yokohama Port to my hotel in Shinjuku.
The people manning the counter at Yokohama Port was very courteous and polite. The shuttle was on time.
The driver was very polite and smiling all the time.
Would take up your service again when I am next in Japan.

Fuji Gotemba tour on 22nd Aug 2018

Reviewed by: Firdaus Samsuri, 2018/08/29

Overall the tour was a great experience for me and my family.

Our guide Taiji was very knowledgable about the places we visited and was very flexible and accomodating to our plans. He was also very engaging towards the group.

We would definitely engage him again when we tour Japan again and strongly recommend him to travellers.

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

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.

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

Mother Nature Wins Out - Typhoon Fury

Reviewed by: Barry Kingsland, 2018/08/26

Mother Nature defeated all attempts by the enthusiastic travel team to make it a great day. Unfortunately we caught the tails winds and rain from a typhoon that went through and there is no cancellation, just changes to routing schedule, they do warn you of this possibility. Every change of plan was thrawted with more wind and rain. Tour guide tried her hardest to make a go of it and was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with interesting information and felt a tad sorry for her and the driving team who were also very pleasant. Mother Nature won out on this one, just a shame there isn’t the ability to take a rain check as our US cousins would say, the weather ended up so bad it was hard to stand up and MT Fuji itself was closed. I imagine it is a great tour in any other circumstances.

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

Great day adventure

Reviewed by: Gill & Blair, 2018/08/26

We took the bus / bullet train return (recommended during busy traffic days) to Mt Fuji. Too bad about the foggy conditions, but we got a really informative guide called Yuko & a great driver called NakanoSan. They showed us the best of Lake Ashi & Hakone as well as a delicious noodle lunch, comprised of local produce/cuisine. Level 5 of the Mt Fuji way is quite crowded in the summer & difficult to navigate, Yuko's advice was sensible & time aware. She had some fun japanese exercises & origami games to pass the time too.

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

A “must do”, “must visit” and “must go”

Reviewed by: Daniel Tan , 2018/08/21

We were very fortunate that the summer weather was very good; skied were clear. From afar on the coach, we were able to see Mount Fuji in its elegance. A great guide (Joji) was passionate about the mountain, sharing her own experience when she did the ascent to the crater top. That made the emotional connection. The cable car ride was beautiful; it brought us to the sulphur “mine” that added to the volcanic heritage of Mount Fuji. The ride on the pirate ship in the lake was nice as a good conclusion to the excursion.

convenient, comfortable

Reviewed by: Travel with elderly, 2018/08/19

Perfect quick tour if looking for brief sight-seeing on time constrain. Also suitable for elderly with limited mobility as walking is minimal (location sight-seeing is self-paced). 2 drivers provided for safe-driving for comfortable long distance coach/bus trip. Tour guide, Michika was informative, engaging and clear with instructions.

Mt. Fuji trip

Reviewed by: Karen, 2018/08/19

The trip is fun.
Our tour guide seiji-san is cheerful, has good command of english and thoughtful. He shared information on the places we went to.
I didnt get to see the peak of mt. Fuji because it was very foggy that day. Nevertheless, i enjoyed the very cold breeze.
The 4d experience of mt. Fuji was a blast.. Fun, fun, fun.
I guess the only thing that i regret is that time allotted for each activity is quite short. But it is understandable considering the time constraint we had and the traffic that day.
All in all, i enjoyed the experience. Thank you veltra, seiji san and funabashi san for driving us safely backto shinjuku.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine

Too poor compared to the cost.

Reviewed by: Komachio, 2018/07/21

I expected a little more elaborated tour, instead it was very poor and too FAST you couldn't enjoy all the sightseeing you supposed to see.
You had to choose - or go and see the actual spot, or go to the gift shops or toilet - becasue there is no time to do all; and this is the worst point that it should be corrected.
The guide was really nice though.

Nikko 1-Day Tour from Tokyo w/ Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Lake Chuzenji & Kegon Falls

A magical place

Reviewed by: Umniyah , 2018/07/19

Nothing represents Japan better than Shinto shrines and breath-taking sceneries and that is exactly what Nikko has to offer !

The place is classified as a world heritage centre for a reason ! The carvings and paintings are marvellous , i very much enjoyed the optional 207 step hike to the tomb of tokugawa ieyasu !

Our traditional Japanese feast was very popular & filling , and kegon falls offered the perfect combination between Japanese sweets , water sound & magical visuals ..

Highly recommended

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

Beautiful, relaxing tour!

Reviewed by: Chel-C, 2018/07/19

The bus tour allowed us to sit back, relax and take in the scenery. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited and kept us on schedule. Ample time was given to peruse and shop at the different stops. Lunch was very yummy!
We are very happy we decided to take this tour.
A word of advice - if you are prone to motion sickness, please take precautions to minimize it or consider a different tour. The road up to and down Mt. Fuji has many switchbacks. Also, if you have trouble breathing take into consideration the thinner air due to the higher altitude while walking around at the Mt. Fuji stop.

I went on this trip during a consecutive 3 day holiday , so the traffic jam was unbearable and we spent most of our time on the bus instead in the actual attraction , however our tour guide Madora was amazing ! She did her best to show us everything there is to see , my halal meal at Ninja village was top notch ! Thankfully Mt.fuji summit was visable and we were able to go up to the 5th station where i took amazing photos , to me lake kawaguchi was the highlight of the tour , i'd love to spend the night there one day !

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

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.
