Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride
An amazing full day trip for the family!
Reviewed by: Francis Castillo
Even though it was hard to find the meeting place since it was underground, we were pleased to know that the rest of the group were only boarding the bus. We were lucky that we were able to see the mountain since we were told that it was raining up until the day before our tour. The lunch was good and substantial, and kind of fancy because of the ambiance. The cruise was incredible since we got to see the entire mountain from the lake as well as the view from the top of the cable car ride. This was such a great experience even our parents were impressed! I definitely recommend this tour!

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride
Great deal for a great full day tour!
Reviewed by: Frances Ann Castillo
At first, we were hesitant to book this tour because the price was too good to be true, but we took a chance and wanted to experience it ourselves. We had a difficult time finding the meeting place and was late for a couple of minutes, but Ms. Terry, our guide, waited for us. The bus ride took 2 hours from Shinjuku to the Mt. Fuji 5th station. We were greeted with a picturesque view of the mountain as well as a lovely 40 minute tour with a pleasantly cold weather. Don't forget to try the mountain-shaped melon bread there! We had a good three course lunch at the Fuji Q Highland restaurant. It's also a great photo spot where you could see more of the mountain. We then headed to the Lake Kawaguchi boat cruise where you could have a closer look at the mountain as well as a cable car ride at Hakone rope way. As you exchange the ticket for the cable car, you also get a free pen as a souvenir. The tanuki dango with soy and matcha drink there is really good. There was also a good ice cream shop where you could choose from four flavors; peach, vanilla, lavender and grape. All in all, with the tour, food and the bus ride going back to the meeting point, the price for this full day tour is such a steal. I highly recommend this tour for those of you who want to maximize their budget. The guide was really good at explaining and was very accomodating!
Dear customer

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride
Panoramic tour of Fuji
Reviewed by: EVK
Highly recommend this particular tour of Fuji. Tour description is very accurate, every activity was completed in time. Tour started at 5th station, ok time was allowed there. Then lunch was in Fiji-Q park, lunch place was nice, French restaurant with full course menu. Then plenty of time was given for the scenic rope-way with best views of Fuji and a boat at Kawaguchiko lake. All tickets and lunch included in tour price; they even gave a voucher for an ice cream or small souvenir at lake Kawaguchiko. Would absolutely do it again.

Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Arakura Sengen Shrine & Fuji Five Lakes
A great trip to Mt. Fuji area
Reviewed by: Intan
My family and I took the private tour arranged by Tokyo Star Agency to the Mt. Fuji area, not to the Mt. Fuji itself, but rather to the surrounding areas such as Lake Saiko, Saiko Iyashino-Sato Nenba, Hanaterasu, Mt. Fuji Ropeway and also a visit to the local sake brewery, Ide Sake. Our tour guide, Mrs. Yuko Matsuka was an amazing lady and spoke good English. She lives in the Mt. Fuji area so she has extensive knowledge about this particular region. I really adored her. She also paid attention to my daughters' needs, I could tell that she's sincere and thoughtful. She took us for lunch at Maple Restaurant, the food was very good, enjoyed by my kids and also myself. It was one of the many great meals I've had during my trip in Japan.
Although what we hoped for was to see Mt. Fuji from a far unfortunately didn't come true due to the weather (it was covered with clouds), yet we weren't disappointed since Mrs. Yuko tried her best to entertain us and took us to alternative spots for us to enjoy the day. I also need to mention our driver, Mr. Kenichi Higashi, who was a good driver and also very friendly. He made sure that we're well informed about the traffic condition; also was keen to offer us to make stops at the rest station along the highway.
Overall, I do recommend everyone who's interested in taking a private tour to Mt. Fuji area, to choose the Tokyo Star Agency's service.
Dear Intan-san,
Thank you for writing such a positive review for the driver, Kenichi-san and me!
We are so flattered. Also, we appreciate your detailed description of our tour.
I suppose your recommendation will invite other people, especially the people who want to travel with their family,
to the places you have visited. I would like to say thank you again and I expect hopefully we will be able to meet you and your family here in Japan next time.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya
Overall good, impolite travelers, lots of bus time.
Reviewed by: Jill
Overall, Caca did a good job. Her English was understandable. I am glad I took the trip as I would not have seen these sites otherwise. Now, negatives were the really impolite guests- obviously not the fault of the company. We waited on the bus at our first stop for 45 minutes, Caca looking for them, and we thankfully just left. The next stop we waited an additional 15 minutes for 2 more guests. The departure times were very clearly stated. There were 2 other guests continually having a loud conversation while Caca was talking-making it difficult to hear. I wish someone would have said something because they were obviously oblivious- but I guess I also could have stepped up. The only other thing was I felt we spent way too much time on the bus. I totally understand these tours need to cater to all, but I definitely like to be more active. Something to think about for an active traveler. The lunch was surprisingly very good and filling. I took the bullet train back and Caca was great about making sure we knew exactly what we needed to do.

Mt. Fuji and Aokigahara Adventure Tour from Tokyo
Overall great experience, could have had better description...
Reviewed by: Matt
Overall, it was wonderful. The guides spoke great English and were kind, informative, and helpful. Fuji is amazing and the Forest was incredible too. For the caves...the description could have been much better. I did not realize it would involve significant climbing and dangerous conditions. The description simply said weird comfortable shoes and clothes that can get dirty. There are deep caverns, small ladders, and dangerous icy terrain. I actually stopped early into it because I was concerned. Everyone else went and loved it, but I stayed back of my own volition.

Very good tour
Reviewed by: Paula Tucker
We loved the trip to Mount Fuji, it was very cold and rainy. We only had about 30 min to look around, would have loved more time! The included lunch was excellent! The boat ride was nice with great views. We didn't get to do the ropeway due to wind but was refunded the cost which was great customer service. The free ice cream was a bonus that I forgot about! Overall I would take the trip again if I ever make it back to Tokyo!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village
No Sun No Info
Reviewed by: TAR
It is really weird when the weather is not good (rain and windy ) and your guide instead of making your day better, nice and interesting in each stop he was reminding and highlighting our bad luck because of the weather and we will not be able of see nothing
If we had a knowledgeable guide during the 5/6 hours bus ride, the trip maybe become much better instead of dropping us in each stop telling have a round and see you in 30/45 min.
I believe it is not good idea to join the trip when
sky is not clear if you can check the weather forecast before
For those who booking before like in our case it would be fair from the VELTRA to cancel the trip and refund it or exchange with another trip
Wish that my feedback make your service better

Private Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo with Customizable Itinerary
Great Tour of Mt. Fuji
Reviewed by: Marie
I was on the fence between booking a private tour or a bus tour to visit Mt. Fuji but I’m so happy I decided to book a private tour. I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. Taiji made sure we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see around Mt. Fuji even if it went beyond the allotted time. He and the driver, Toshi, we’re fun to be with. I highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to visit Japan.
Dear Marie, it was a great pleasure to welcome you and thank you so much for leaving us a warm comment of your experience in the Fuji are.
Thank you also for booking both transfer services and I am sure Toshi welcomed you with his funky jokes since the day you arrived.
Hope that you will be back to Japan and to serve you again.
Sincerely,
Taiji

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village
Activity packed day.
Reviewed by: Larkmom
We booked this tour to cap our Japan visit based on several reviews. Overall the experience was great because it went to several places which had it's good and bad points. Blessed with good, clear skies, our group was lucky to see Mount Fuji on our way to the lake and when we reached the 5th stop. That in itself made the trip worthwhile-be forewarned that when the weather does not cooperate, you may not have a chance to see Mount Fuji. As for the rest of the day, our tour guide was Liza who was super sweet and entertaining. She gave information about each area and about Japan in general which was fascinating. There was an automated guide who spoke a little about the area as well but honestly, we preferred listening to Liza. I've been to other tours in the past where you listened to a recorded guide but it was a human voice. The tour was packed with several destinations which made us feel a bit rushed. Our 3rd stop was at the ninja village which was also our buffet lunch. The park itself was so fun but because we were only given an hour there, we didn't enjoy the entire village. Wished we could've spent more time eating and exploring the village. We also enjoyed the 5th stop but were only given 30 minutes there. Again, would've loved to have hiked up and enjoy the area but we had a final stop to get to. The final stop was a virtual ride in a theme park which is similar to one of the Disney California adventure ride. In my opinion, we could've skipped this activity entirely so we can spend more time at the Ninja Village and 5th stop. Overall, the tour was good not outstanding due to the time constraints. Liza kept everyone on track and on time and did a wonderful job explaining the sites and history. I would recommend this tour with the lunch option because it was very good for what you get.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride
Great tour guide and bus drivers but very poorly organized your
Reviewed by: Patrizia
I want emphasize that our tour guide and bus drivers were great! They were sweet and kind and really made sure the tour was kept organized. However, the actual tour was incredibly expensive for no reason! The only picture I was able to get of Mt. Fuji was on the bus! Now I understand that Fuji is very easily covered by clouds and the mountain can be seen once the clouds move. What I did not appreciate was that we were not able to go to the 5th station because of over crowding? How is that our problem? So we went to the 4th station and there was nothing there but a parking lot and a gift shop. Then we took the sky gondola ride just to see a dried up forest. The hot springs gave me a headache re the smell and the boat ride offered no views of Fuji. I believe this tour is falsely advertised and overpriced. I just wanted to get back to Tokyo.

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride
Great day out to see Mt Fuji
Reviewed by: Shu Min
A well-organised tour which was also good value for money. We were on board a very clean tour bus and had an excellent guide called Nao. He communicated very well in English and Japanese and his enthusiasm definitely added to our positive experience. We were very lucky to have perfect weather to see Mt Fuji - time at the 5th station was limited to 30 minutes, but there was more that adequate time for the lunch stop and then more time was spent at Lake Kawaguchi for the boat cruise and panoramic ropeway (which also included time for ice cream and souvenir shopping). We also found no issues with bringing our children along (5yr11mo and 28mo boys). The only negative part of the day was that we did have some difficulty finding the exact meeting point for the bus - signs pointing the way from the main street would have helped us a lot!
I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends!
Thank you for booking with us!

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride
What an amazing Day!
Reviewed by: Jensen
This was a well organised tour with appropriate time spent at each venue. The various photograph points on the road, at the lunch restaurant and from the lake provide a variety of different angles and scenery around Mt Fuji.
A lot of time is spent on the bus but this is unavoidable due to the distance. Thankfully there are rest stops on the way there and back so the maximum bus time is approximately 1 hour between stops.
Our tour guide Nao was funny and very knowledgeable about the mountain and the various locations we visited.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride
Rather rushed itinerary and poor tour guide
Reviewed by: UKWMtraveller
I chose this tour for the convenience of being picked up from my hotel in Tokyo. The seating in the coach was a little tight but no different from other coaches I've been on in Japan. Unfortunately, our guide repeated herself incessantly throughout the journey and this was exceedingly irritating. I'm sorry to say that I resorted to listening to music through my earphones in preference to hearing what our guide was saying. I booked the lunch option and was pleasantly surprised at the food quality. The place where we stopped catered specifically for large groups and was well set up for these.
My main issue was with the very short amount of time allocated at each stop. The day was cloudy, but with occasional clear spots, providing sporadic opportunities to photograph Mt Fuji. However, with only 15 to 30 minutes at each of the viewing stations, it was frustrating to have to return to the coach so quickly without having enough time to wait for a break in the clouds to take a decent photo of Mt Fuji. That said the views on and around lake Ashi were fabulous and the cable car journey to the top of Mt Komagatake was worthwhile, with some very nice scenery at the summit.
On the way back to Tokyo we chose not to return on the coach (even though we had booked it) and took the bullet train instead. This turned out to be an excellent choice because we were back in Tokyo Central Station within 35 minutes of boarding the train, rather than the three hours or so on the coach.
In fairness to the tour operator, I would say that the short time available at the viewing stations was not their fault, because I suspect that time restrictions applied to the large coaches at each stopping point. In hindsight, I think that I should have booked a more bespoke tour catering for fewer people. Being in a smaller vehicle/group might have provided the flexibility to make brief stops during our journey to take opportunistic photos of Mt Fuji when there were breaks in the clouds.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Shiraito Falls, Oshino Hakkai & Sengen Shrine
Good overall tour but too little time in each place.
Reviewed by: AMPzini
I loved every single place we went to, but it was too many places for the amount of time, it was 40 minutes in each spot so if you want to have time to look around, eat local food (there’s a lot of local delicious snacks), take a picture and maybe go souvenir shopping in each place then 40 minutes is not enough. I would rather the tour leave an hour early or maybe miss one of the places and enjoy it more throughly. Guide was great! Loved her!
Always go to the restroom before the tour, tour places are crowded and you will miss a good amount of quality time if you go in a tour stop. If you don’t have a lunch box included then buy something before the tour, you’ll lose a lot of time figuring out what to eat.

Short but enjoyable experience.
Reviewed by: Miez
I took Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Shiraito Falls and Oshino Hakkai Tour from Tokyo / With Ekiben Box Lunch from Veltra. Overall, the experience was satisfactory. The meeting point was easy to find because the instructions were clear and there are people from the travel company who were more than eager to assist their guests. Also, our tour guide was very accommodating and very lively which keeps everyone happy during the entire trip. She even assisted me in checking if the Tokyo Metropolitan was still open after the trip because I wanted to go there. We also had a stop in a place which has an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji. I think this stop was no included in the itinerary. The most important thing I appreciated about this trip was that they refunded me with half of the amount I paid because originally, I plan to travel together with my sister. Unfortunately, she was not feeling well on the day of the trip so she had to cancel her plan to accompany me in the trip. I informed the travel agency in less than an hour before the scheduled trip and I wasn’t expecting any refund because I cancelled in less than an hour. But, to my surprise, they refunded me with half of what I paid and the tour guide even gave me the extra box lunch intended for my sister. It was really appreciated.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride
Rain = no mountain
Reviewed by: Julie
If you go on this tour, please take into account the weather forecast. The morning we left from Tokyo, it was pouring rain. The rest of the day was also covered in grey clouds, rain and fog. We therefore did not see Mt. Fuji at all. Not even a glimpse unfortunately. Although we did go up the cable car, we could not see more than like 30 meters ahead due to the fog.
Although the weather forecast is unpredictable, and the organization is of course not to blame for bad weather (humans can unfortunately not control it) it is a pity that we did not get any compensation whatsoever. Having paid this huge amount of money for a bus tour where we did not even see the mountain has simply been a disappointment. Nevertheless, the tour guide was energetic and nice.

Great tour!

We loved the tour to mount fuji. Yukiko (our guide) was funny and very informative. They were amazing and waited for us, as we got lost and arrived a little late to the meeting place.
We booked the trip to a warm day, but be advised, mt fuji has unpredictable weather, and it was full of clouds. We managed to get a couple of shots with the peak, but it was hard. The other spots were also very nice. This was our last day in Japan and so we had already seen a lot of shrines and temples, and the time allocated to each spot was just right, as we had a 2h trip back to Tokyo. We do understand that for people whose tour this is the first, it might be a little overwhelming and too short a time. So I think it would be best to book it further along your trip. We booked it only a couple of days prior to the actual tour, and everything went great! The lunch box is a bento box, with local food. We didn't book it, and bought a few sandwiches and took them with us for the tour. For us, this was the best option. You can also buy at each stop, but it may be more expensive, and that may be a reason to run out of time in the visiting spots.

Reviewed by: Chez
We visited this Mt Fuji tour on a lucky day where the sun was shining and we had wonderful clear views of Mt Fuji. Our Tour guide Nao was so funny and informative as well as informative. We had a packed day full of activities but it definitely didn't feel rushed or that we didn't have enough time at each activities. The lunch was at a fancy place tasting very delicious, and The lake cruise and ropeways were refreshing providing the best unobscured view of My Fuji The activities were very very good and I would 100% recommend this tour!
Thank you for booking with us!
We're glad that you enjoy the trip.
