Though the weather was not good, it was ☔ and ☁, and we could see only the foot of Fuji, the tour itself was organized on a high level. The guide told many interesting legends, gave a lot of useful information, tought us to sing a song and to make origami. At the end of tour she presented every tourist her self-made origami, and this was so touching and pleasant.

Everything went like clockwork. We were lucky enough to get wonderful views from both Stations 4 and 5. The lunch was beautiful in a marvellous setting. Staff very attentive, right down to taking us to the train we needed to catch to return to our hotel at the end of the day. Worth every cent and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

The activities were awesome, our tour guide Toshi was very friendly and the coach driver also managed to drive us back to our final destination on time. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visiting Mount Fuji and Hakone!

Excellent guide when on the bus, but very confusing situation when getting back on the bus.
Terrible weather, but very happy to see Mt Fuji Capped with snow.
Interestering and flavorful lunch, but we were too rushed with not enough time for shopping.
With total fog the cable ride was absurd.

Very enjoyable, a lot to see and do. Some beautiful sights to see, I proposed to my partner at the 5th station which was really memorable. A long day which is well worth it.

Tour was great. Our guide Harumi was very helpful and entertained us during the slower parts of the trip. Just happened to have great weather for viewing Mt. Fuji as well. All in All, would travel again.

Our guide in trying to be funny, came across bossy and rude, and in trying to be punctual left 4 guests behind on Mt Fuji albeit they were 10 min late. We had too little time at each destination except the 4D experience, which was the longest part of the day at a theme park! I didn't pay for a Fuji tour to be at a theme park. Most of the commentary was played on an autoguide with the exception of pointing out a few landmarks along the way. Not worth the money.

The hotel pick up option worked well even though, when arriving at the main Bus Station it was a little chaotic. Waiting to check in and being allocated our coach was not so long and soon the tour was under way. The journey to the mountain takes you through interesting countryside, their new wine region being one part. But where was Mt Fuji? Where it so often is, nestled in cloud. From the 5th station you did quite well to see your hand at full stretch but there were teasing hints of a bright spell approaching.
As we stopped for lunch in an intriguing choice of a fairground restaurant the sky kept on teasing. The meal was quite typical of Japanese and nothing wrong with that. Orders phoned through meant that there was really no waiting, quite essential on such a full day.
En route to the lake and the short passenger ferry trip to the aerial cableway we did enjoy quite a spectacular view with the mountain wearing a white cap. Once on top of the cableway the vision was pretty much zero and quite cold so most people returned to the bottom to wander around the shops. Transfer to the station for the short but interesting bullet train ride went well with the train journey just long enough to appreciate the acceleration and have a taste of the top speed.
An eventful and fun day and certainly bone I wouldn't have missed.

we are extended family with 5 adults and 2 kids. booking through veltra was convenient, confirmation was fast. near the day, veltra staff called us to reconfirm pick up point & time. there was a bit of mistake for the tour destination, but it was corrected quickly. the hiace van was really convenient and spacious for our group, and driver was really professional. the highlights of our tour were the autumn foliage along the way, the view from fuji 5th station, and lake kawaguchi. we brought our own lunch and had a picnic on the bench along lake kawaguchi. unfortunately we visited during cultural day weekend so there was traffic everywhere. our driver asked us which sites were our priorities, so we decided to drop visit to gotemba outlet. we had a fantastic day.

We were very lucky that the weather cooperated and we saw Mt. Fuji!!! I really wanted that picture perfect view and I got it, together with the mountain's cone shaped peak. Our tour guide Yoshi was really good, he even thought us how to make a mountain origami during the long bus ride.
The only thing I did not like is that we were not able to go to Owakudani valley anymore because the Hakone Sky Gondola suddenly stopped its operation for maintenance purposes. It was a good thing they were able to replace it with another similar activity.
All in all it was a good trip! I will definitely book with this tour provider again.

It was really good time to learn about Japan’s ancient life & culture.
The temple in Nikko is such beautiful and the Edo Village has all kinds of life in the ancient
Japan. The guide was very kind & courtesy. However, there were too many peoples in the temple, so moving slow & time was really limited.

Были сегодня на очень хорошей экскурсии к знаменитой горе Фуджи.Хотя погода была неважная,временами шел дождь,но все равно мы получили большое удовольствие и от потрясающих видов,и от замечательного гида Артема (Ари),который скрашивал нам переезды от одного объекта к другому,и от вкусного ланча,который подавали в деревне ниндзя. А в конце мы поучаствовали в виртуальном полете над Фуджи,во время которого было полная иллюзия полета на скоростном самолете и на малой высоте, и с большой скоростью,с виражами и даже мертвой петлей.В общем мы остались очень довольны,график выполнялся неукоснительно,никто не опаздывал,Ари вел экскурсию на английском и японском и еща давал нам иногда пояснения на русском.Рекомендую всем,кто хочет познакомиться с самой знаменитой достопримечательнсотью Японии.
Thank you very much for your comment.
Ari will be happy to hear this.
See you some day again.

It was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide, Mario is super nice and he able to explain everything well to all of us. He even suggested us which is the best place to go which not in the agenda, so we won't missed out some magnificent scene ! The agenda provided was good enough. We didn't missed out any popular scene and the time provided us for sightseeing was just nice. It won't be too pack. My husband and I enjoyed the tour. Eventhough raining and super cool but we still love it :) thanks.
Thank you for joining our tour last year.
We hope you still have memories in Japan.
Please visit Japan again.

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we were unable to see Mt Fuji and the sights from Hakone. The bullet train was great, but the bus ride is waaayyy too long. That was the worst part. Lunch was great!

Excellent value for money and a very knowledgeable guide (with a wicked sense of humour) combined to make this a great day out. Only downer was the poor weather which meant we could not see the top of Mount Fuji and the cable car ride was a complete white out. We travelled back to Tokyo in darkness so we did not get a sense of speed on the bullet train but the fact we have travelled on this legend is really all that counts.

The tour was very well organised. Every step in the process went very smoothly thanks to the wonderful staff who were there. We went on a two day one night tour to Kyoto. The lunch on the first day was excellent. Sadly the lunch on the second day was poor. However we did not let this spoil our enjoyment of the tour. We visited many interesting shrines and temples and the guides were very informative,friendly and interesting. Having all the transport arrangements taken care off means that all the stress is removed.

The views are amazing and our guide, Eri is very creative with how she provides info on the trip, through hand-drawn maps and songs even on the way to the 5th station!
Hakone Yumoto Fujiya Hotel is just 2 mins walk from the Yumoto station and very very convenient!
