The sights are fascinating. You can immerse yourself in the natural wilderness of the mountains and lakes, which are all part of the unique geological formations, from the comfort of various vehicles. Throughout the journey, the tour guide acquainted us with Japanese culture.

traveled with parents, personally the travel spots in the itinerary is just average for me. Anyway, would like to thank driver and tour guide as we needed to board Shinkansen at 8 pm so they really managed the time for us to catch up with the train.

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!

The overall pace of the tour was too fast. Our time at the arakura sengen and oshino hakkai area was too short. We no longer had enough time to see the shops at Gotemba Outlet Store. Perhaps the tour duration should be extended to at least 10 hours. The bus should depart from Tokyo earlier so the group could have a better chance to see Mount Fuji earlier in the morning.
Tina, our accommodating tour guide spoke English clearly and audibly. The bus was fairly new and very tidy.

We had excellent tour guides (Mariko and company). Multilingual. They are articulate and caring. We enjoyed our day tour to Mount Fuji (5-stations). Tour bus schedule is precise and the trip was smooth. Lunch and walk at the Village was delightful and a very good experience.

This tour is hugely dependent on the weather. On the day, it was rainy and foggy. That in itself was uncontrollable by those running the tour but what was disappointing was leaving the Gotemba Outlet at 15:30 to arrive back at Shinjuku at 17:00. The schedule stated two hours at the outlet and leaving there at 16:00. If the entire tour group didn't spend all that much time outdoors because of the weather wouldn't it make sense to spend the extra time at the outlet rather than arriving back in Shinjuku an hour early?! We were told there may be traffic on the way back but that hardly justifies getting back an hour early.

Mt Fuji is breathtaking, we are lucky to have quite a clear view but unfortunately due to snowing the previous night, we r only able to get to 4th station instead of the 5th station, it was still nice. The cave trekking is outstanding, we absolutely loved the experience, Yaya our coach gave a very clear explanation about Aokigohara forest and Mt. Fuji history, and we enjoyed the cave tour very much, it is a tough trekking though as it requires some skills to walk on ice and hike through slippery rocks. Highly recommended for ppl who loves nature and don’t mind some physical challenges.

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.

Mt Fuji blew me away. It was the best experiences and best part of my holiday. Mt Fuji was great and i enjoyed the lunch served. The driver and the commentator were fantastic. 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.

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.

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!

We were so excited to stumble across this tour, when we were looking for a guided trip to see Mount Fuji! It’s very budget friendly for a tour, and had us stopping at some really great spots, so we definitely felt like we were getting more than what we paid for (awesome photo ops!)
We were accommodated last minute and received confirmation immediately. Pick up/meet up location was easy to get to, and felt very safe during the drive.
Our guide was very helpful, and made us feel very welcomed. Overall wonderful experience! Highly recommend it!

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.

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.

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.

This is an amazing option for those who want to see Mount Fuji from different angles. The bus is super comfortable, the meeting point is easy to find and the guide is very sweet. We stopped in 5 different places from where we could see the mountain from a different perspective. The average time in each stop is around 20 minutes and then one of them takes 1h. It might seem to short but it isn’t, its good enough!The highlights for me where the small village with the mount Fuji in the background and the beautiful waterfalls. It was a very peaceful and interesting day!

The day at Mount Fuji was excellent. Everywhere the guide took us we could see the white snow top of Mount Fiji. It was -4C that clear and sunny morning, beautiful day to view Mount Fuji. Thank you.

Had a great time with Tour Guide Levin and Angela! English was very good with lots of good insight on all the stops along the way. Plenty of time to take photos and explore each stop with some breathtaking views! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to experience Mt. Fuji close up.

Good itinerary, a lot to see in a day without getting rush. Only drawback is the guide announced 1 1/2 hour at gotemba that i have to show her that veltra is offering 2 hours in the outlet which the guide respectfully followed after we showed her the veltra site. Overall we were happy because it was a beautiful sunny day and we saw mt Fuji 100% clear.

The tour took us to great and memorable views of Fuji, but felt rushed and didn’t allow enough time to enjoy each attraction, and the 1-1/2 hour visit to the outlets is barely enough time to walk from the bus to the far end of the mall and back without even being able to stop at stores to shop. The itinerary said there would be 2-1/2 hours at the outlets. Also, the souvenir store at the beginning of the tour at Lake Kawaguchi Oishi Park is by far the best, so buy your souvenirs there in addition to getting some good pictures.

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.

Over all i like this tour very much, time for every site is good enough and not too rush. Our tour guide mr. Eric give brief information that really useful, informative and not too much. He also know very much all places that good for photo taking, since we'd love to take good pictures from all tourism object.
I like all site, the lake, the shrine and the village and also the shopping mall that we visited. this tour is very colourful tour. The bus driver also drive very smooth and good and drive safely.
Thank you very much guys!

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.
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!

for Fuji tour we just go to theme park and play sliding snow. we lunch at moving bus, my self dont recommend this tour for family have young childern
our tour guide fluent mandarin only, so its quite long way
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. :)
