Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Arakura Sengen Shrine & Fuji Five Lakes

Higashi is the best! 东谦一真棒!

Reviewed by: LKL, 2019/04/04

Higashi is my Chinese-speaking Japanese born private
tour guide and having worked in China for many years, he is a gem that could give us Japanese culture and yet be able to relate to us - we are a Singaporean family (I was with my 70 year old mother and 2 sisters). He paced the entire trip nicely taking into account our speed, to the extent of serving our food needs and even accompany us to shopping to wherever we want and with such patience for a man! Encourage all to book him!

东谦一是我们的日本长大又能说中文的私人导游。他在中国工作了很多年,所以美好的融合了日本传统又能够跟我们的文化接近。由于我带了70岁的妈妈和两个妹妹,他完美得随我们的步伐导游,恰到好处。他更帮我们照顾周到, 餐饮和购物都随我们一起走,帮我们翻译,难能可贵的一个导游。大家请指定他为你的导游!

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

Less than 24 hours and still got confirmation that's awesome!!

Reviewed by: Dawn, 2019/04/04

This tour was wonderful! I think the only downfall was because the weather was overcast so didn't get to see really good majestic pictures of Mt. Fuji but no fault of anyone but nature. LOL. The tour guide was very well versed in knowing all there was about cities, history, and spoke pretty good English. Everything went very smoothly and the traditional Japanese style lunch they planned was also right on point. I ate my very first and famously known black hard boiled egg straight from the site itself. Looking forward to the next trip and more planning through Veltra. Use Veltra as well as they seem to have more variety when all the other sites were all sold out, instant confirmations on most and a bit cheaper too. All bonuses!!

Thank you again, team, Veltra

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

Overall a good tour apart from the Lake Ashi tour

Reviewed by: WLN, 2019/04/03

Staff service was very good even prior to the start of the tour. At pickup point staff made sure we were at the right tour and everyone was on board. On the actual tour bus the guide talk about the different sights in Tokyo city before we got out of the city, and through out the drive to Mt. Fuji provide us with various cultural and scenic information. We had a good view of Mt Fuji, even though we did not get to the 5th Station. The ropeway ride was also good and well guide but the tour guide to make sure we got on board. The disappointing part was the boat ride on Lake Ashi - since our tour was part of a larger group of people, too many in our opinion as we had no place to sit down and had to stand in several crowded areas until we reach the other side. So we had no commentary about the Lake and it surrounds, so basically it was just a ferry ride to the other side of the lake. The guide look after us during lunch and had a place for us to sit even though we did not get a lunch package, and finally made sure we got the the Odawara Station OK and directed us to the correct train and platform.

Didn't like that we nine of us senior and little children dropped off in the middle of Ginza

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

A very fun trip

Reviewed by: Sim, 2019/03/27

At first we were worried about the pickup service, since we are not sure which bus to board, but then there is actually a guide? Which will meet us at the pickup location and check the attendance, then only we board the bus to daiichi hotel and change to another bus to hakone. The way to hakone from daichi hotel is about 2h30min, but we get to have a 15min break after an hour on the bus and we are also able to see mt fuji from the break spot. We have mr yoshi as our tour guide, and he was informative. While in the bus, mr yoshi also teaches us how to count from 1-10, sang a mt fuji song, and fold an origami of mt fuji. The lunch was also delicious.

It was a quite a nice trip, personally I don't like these tours because of lack of freedom. That being said. It was quite good, before you go I would recommend checking the weather on de day.

Beautiful views of mount fuji from kawaguchigo lake and chureito pagoda.

Reviewed by: Helen, 2019/03/24

So glad to be able to find a tour that covers our ideal list of destinations. The scenic parts of the tour was great but quite rushed and almost no time for lunch. Time at premium outlet was quite short and rushed, after we managed to settle our late lunch there. The tour guide could have provided more info about the scenic areas or share some history about those places. His sharing were very brief compared to other day tours that we have joined.

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

Winding Road

Reviewed by: Dianna N, 2019/03/15

The road leading up to Nikko is quite famous and the journey is beautiful! While the Shrine is also very beautiful esp the woods at the back, make sure not to accidentally join the students' tour. We joined our guide as well but we realized that it would have been a better experience for us if we took everything in by ourselves only as that would have given us a semblance of peace. Some might enjoy going with the group though. To each her own! Also, we missed the falls! Yup, we did. We didn't understand our guide. We thought we were merely going to a parking lot.
I have to say that this tour has the best lunch!!! I'd love to have that set again!

Mt. Fuji Private 1-Day Tour with Sake Brewery & Suntory Whiskey Distillery Visit

Good times

Reviewed by: Adam s, 2019/03/15

The guide was fun and knowledgeable. The tour of the whiskey distillery and sake brewery was great. The sake brewery did not have an English translation but the guide translated for our group. We went to a great spot for lunch that was recommended by the guide. Amazing, I recommend the tour and especially if you need help with translation. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating interacted with the party. Highly recommend the tour.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you very much for joining our tour. The restaurant we went used malted rice in their food, a result of the fermentation of Sake which is a portion of healthy food and gives tenderness to meat. It is called Kome Koji.
You can also find a naturally sweet rice drink (juice) called amazake known to have an anti-aging effect.
I hope the wine you bought at the supermarket was good also.
Thank you very much again.

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

Mount Fuji

Reviewed by: Sara , 2019/03/15

Overall was very impressed with the day trip. Coach was comfortable and didn't feel like the journeys were too long overall. Host was very nice and informative.

Only two slight downsides to note was that we went for the 'no set lunch option' thinking there would be a shop to purchase food from or the option to pay for lunch when we got there but neither was correct.

Also, slightly surprised we did not get closer to Fuji.

Overall would definitely recommend.

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

A must do tour with Levin!!!

Reviewed by: Lauren Adair, 2019/03/12

We were thrilled that we booked this tour, it was a day full of incredible sights and learnings thanks to our sensational tour guide Levin!!!
Levin was brilliant at keeping us engaged and sharing some really interesting facts along the way.
The tour combined a few parts, all of which were spectacular viewing points for Mount Fuji.
We were very lucky to get to level 5 when we travelled in Feb as it was the first they opened this level, what a treat :)
The village along with ninjas was a nice way to break up the day and here was quite the feast waiting on us, the food was delicious and yet again, glorious views.
We ended the tour with a 3D flight simulation ride over Mout Fuji which was a cool and fun way to end the day before the trip back to the city.
Absolutely loved every minute and big kudos to Levin, he was an amazing guide!

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

Magical Mount Fiji Experiences

Reviewed by: Kylee saunders, 2019/03/08

We had the perfect weather to experience Mount Fuji. I recommend checking the weather before you book to avoid disappointment.

We could see Mount Fuji in the distance from Tokyo city. It has snowed the night before so we could only go up to the first station of the mountain. Oshino-Mura was a lovely town with more views, waterfalls were lovely. We even saw cherry blossoms flowering at the shrine temple.

Our guide was informative and spoke clear English. If the weather is clear skies then this trip is worth it!

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

I had a blast!

Reviewed by: Nick, 2019/03/04

My trip to Mt. Fuji and Hakone was wonderful. My tourguide (Reiko? I can’t remember if that was her name exactly. “Sunshine girl”) was fun, bright, informational, and lovely! My favorite part was being on top of Mt. Fuji and looking out at the Japanese Alps. I imagine when the forrest is alive Hanoke would be even more magical. I liked taking the rail car up the mountain to visit the shrine. I made my own prayer rock stack, and took in the view. Overall, it was an excellent experience. My only issue was a rude couple behind me on the bus, but that stinks for them that they had such a bad attitude. Thank you so much for a great day!

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

Mt Fuji tour without Mt Fuji

Reviewed by: Dianne Balderama, 2019/03/03

Tour was on time and organized. But it was a big disappointment for all of us that we didnt get to see Mt Fuji when we get to the site. The beginning of the tour title says Mt Fuji tour, but instead we had to stop at two souvenir shops in the morning til we had to take our lunch at around noon. By the time we take the Hakone cruise and ropeway ride in the afternoon, it was all gloomy and there was no view of my Fuji at all because it was all covered with clouds. When i asked the tour guide if we will still get to see a view of Mt Fuji that afternoon, he just said that that was it when we saw it when we were on the bus that morning. And he knew that it is always clear in the morning, so i just didn’t understand why we didn't go that morning but instead we spent most of our time to two souvenir shops when in fact I believe that the main highlight of the tour is Mt Fuji right??

My family were sleeping when the bus pass through the view of mt Fuji. Apparently, we came back to Tokyo without seeing the view of the mountain or any pictures with it. Maybe, we booked the wrong tour but the itinerary should say the most of the morning will be spent shopping and there is a least chance of having a view of mt Fuji in the afternoon during the cruise. The tour also ended very early. We got in Tokyo at around 6pm when the tour says we will be back around 8pm. Im wondering if we are supposed go stay longer? Because right after our ropeway ride, the bus had to leave right away to take us to shinkansen station which we could have done the souvenir shopping by the end of that day.

Im sorry, but wouldn’t recommend this tour to people especially those who are looking forward to see the view if mt Fuji upclose.
