Our main purpose of doing the trip was to see Mt. Fuji up close as do the others in the tour. Unfortunately for all of us, the mountain was enveloped with fogs/cloud from below Station 5 that we could not see anything of Mt. Fuji. A German even spoke for most if not all of us when he requested the bus return to Station 5 when the clouds cleared a little.
Second, the tour buses in Europe mostly has toilets in them. Not for ordinary use but "when necessary only". It should be a must for all tour buses in Japan for a total tourist comfort and ease of mind.
The rest of the tour sites are excellent and the tourist guide spoke excellent english and spoke a lot about Japanese culture and the country as well.

If you are looking for a convenient way to see Mount Fuji from japan this is the tour for you. Eko our guide for the day was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun driving between site to sight. Her English was perfect and humor a joy. The lunch was fantastic, lots of variety and tasty. I highly recommend this tour if you only have a day to spend in the region. The option for the fast train back to Tokyo (which we choose last minute during the trip) is also worth the ride and experience. Eko helped us arrange that easily.
Considerations: It is a long day. Time of year - if it's a colder month, i might opt for a shorter tour.

If you want to see Mt Fugi, I'd suggest another tour. This one covered the minimum. They took us to each spot, but no info given. Also, the website is very misleading. We did NOT have an English-speaking guide. The assistant spoke broken English and spoke so softly over the bus' PA system that we could hear almost nothing. She tried, but it was not at all what we were expecting. The included lunch was really terrible. Cold tempura isn't appetizing. So, we bought food at the other stands around the area. In general, just not much of a tour.

While the trip was good, everything went smoothly and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, it was disappointing to learn we have very little time at each stop. We felt very rushed, including for lunch. I suggest the tour return later, or you are upfront with customers that in order to fit in all of the activities the actual time at each stop is very limited.

It was the best experience abroad so far to me. From beginning to the end everything was excellent and went as it was said with their promised schedule. Our tour guide was great she informed us not only by sound system but also she used charts and written notes on the large papers sheets to help her messages memorized while she was using quality communicating techniques to help her group stay together and informed well. Bus was very clean and driver did great job along with all route course.
Thank you so much for everything ❤️

The tour guide, May, was wonderful! She kept tabs on everyone very well, always making to have everyone when time to head to a new destination. She was very informative on the bus, telling everyone about how Mt. Fuji was formed and why things are certain ways. She even sang us traditional Japanese song for Mt. Fuji in both English and Japanese.
The experience was great. Definitely add the lunch option! So many choices and you definitely get your money's worth!
The tour bus does have wifi, but it was not super strong. My children were able to play apps, but not watch videos from it. There is no bathroom on the bus, so plan to use it before you get on at each stop (important with younger children).

We were extremely impressed by this tour. It was well-organized and everyone had enough time to experience the itinerary without rushing.
The finer details:
First (and most important): Mount Fuji
- During a clear day, you have many opportunities to see it.
- 5th Station, the Lake Kawaguchi cruise and ropeway all have fantastic views.
- You can buy souvenirs at each stop!
Food
- Lunch was at an amazing restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland. An appetizer, entree, dessert, and coffee/tea are all included.
- You can also explore the surrounding area if you finish eating early!
- You get to have soft serve ice cream at the end of the tour with your pick of interesting flavors.
Efficiency and Comfort
- The bus was very comfortable and there are bathroom breaks during the ride.
- The tour guides (shoutout to Nao-san and David!) were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were fluent in both English and Japanese.
- Despite some traffic, we were pretty much on time for every stop and got back to Shinjuku before 7pm.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Mount Fuji from different viewpoints and have some great food and fun along the way.

Excellent tour. Youshi - san was a great tour leader, informative and amusing and spoke excellent English. We were very fortunate to have a clear day to see Mount Fuji and the views were brilliant all day. The lunch was also very good. We enjoyed the sky gondola, the black eggs and the cruise over lake Ashi. Every thing was very punctual and at no point did we feel rushed.We took the option of the bullet train back and Youshi helped us with navigating the station. In all a lovely tour which we thoroughly recommend.

We had a long bus ride to Mt Fuji but were disappointed the clouds came in and covered the mountain. We could only get to Level 2 as there was too much congestion and traffic higher up at Level 4. Our lunch was a wonderful selection of local dishes and the cruise on the Pirate Ship on Lake Ashi was crowded and chilly but fun to be part of.

It seems both Veltra and JTB Sunrise Tours think its acceptable to sell a tour called "Mount Fuji Tour" when they know 100% in advance that you will not see Mount Fuji
Our experience was as follows
Book online on the Tuesday Evening
Arrive at check in on Wednesday Morning
At check in ask JTB is everything open will we see Mt Fuji - YES
Get on the bus to depart for Mt Fuji
Tour guide runs through the itinerary exactly as advertised
Station 5 Mt Fuji
Cruise
Lunch
Ropeway
Shinkansen Back
1 hour into the drive - OH! sorry Station 5 is closed due to an avalanche we can only go to station 1 today, you wont see Mt Fuji
When we get to station 1 we ask the roadblock security when was the avalanche - 2 days BEFORE!!! so for 3 days they have been selling tours knowing its closed also knowing it will be several days before the avalanche is cleared
So JTB Knew Mt Fuji will not be seen before they sold the tour to myself and busses full of people who booked in the last 3 days, Veltra say they were not informed by JTB and JTB when asked say they only call for an update at 9am AFTER the bus leaves so you have no option to get off and do something else - convenient timing for them and too late for you, but they all knew 2 days in advance, yet no one takes ownership at either company blaming each other - neither company loose out only the customers
Had I known I would not see anything and be on a bus for several hours at the checkin at Niko Hotel JTB Desk I would have cancelled and got 50% refund and booked another tour for the day and done something more productive with my time
Feel quite cheated as did most of the other people on the same bus
JTB/Veltra snake policy is set so you basically can be sold ANY tour and they have a way to not refund you
DISSAPOINTED - CHEATED - WASTE OF TIME - CHECK BEFORE YOU GET ON THE BUS - REQUEST REFUND
JTB SUNRISE TOURS
VELTRA

The trip was generally good and was saved from an OK rating by actually seeing Mt Fuji from the bus and the first stop. After that we drove to the other side of the mountain where it was covered by cloud and we didn't see it again all day. (Cloudy weather can't be helped but guide said "we are driving to the other side as it is less crowded".) Everything ran on time but better explanation of how to manage Japanese lunch (our first such experience) would have been appreciated. Cruise on Lake Ashi was picturesque but boat was very crowded with standing room only for some guests.

・ツアーガイドさんは英語と日本語両方喋ることができるのでとても安心でした。
・バスが目立つ黄色だったので迷わず見つけることができました。
・外国人のお客さんが多く一緒にツアーを回ることができて、英語の面でもいい勉強になりました
★残念だったところ
・天気が雨だったので少しも富士山が見えませんでした。富士山をメインで楽しみに参加しましたが、何も見えなかったのでただ観光してるだけのツアーに感じました。同じお金を払ってみるのであれば天気がいい日だったら良かったです!
この度、LIMONにご参加いただきまして誠にありがとうございます。

Our tour was fun and enjoyable. We were given ample time to roam around and explore the area. We brought our son with us and he loves the cable car and strawberry picking experience. My wife's highlight was the beautiful flowers almost in full bloom. Mine was the overall convenience and comfort of being in an organized tour. Special thanks to Yuki our sweet guide and Kondo our bus driver for being patient waiting for us. Will highly recommend this tour to friends.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your trip moments with us! It is great to know your families had fun time with the trip, and the activity of riding cable car was a favorable part for your son.

We did get to see Mt Fuji which was why we went on this tour. Because of this, I rated it fair rather than poor... The boat and sky tram filled in time out of the bus... neither was interesting or exciting. Our tour guide was very bland...he certainly did not make this an enjoyable day. For a couple to go on this excursion at a cost of $250 to 300USD... spend your money elsewhere.
