Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Enjoyed everything about the trip except the lunch. Of all the beautiful settings we saw during our day , I don't understand why the lunch was in the middle of a theme park. ( very poor lunch ) ( ridiculous location. )

This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Japan! Our tour guide Blair was amazing and very informative. Not only did he keep us on schedule but he also gave us extra time at the stop on Mt. Fuji because it was such a nice clear day! All of the stops were very fun and the blueberry ice cream at the lake is a must eat! We we're lucky enough to see Mt Fuji from most of our stops that day including the lake. The 8 ponds also had a lot to do and we bought most of our souvenirs there. The lunch at ninja village is definitely recomended. And the 4d ride was a perfect finish to the whole day. If I had to change something about the tour I would possibly cut out either the ninja village or the 4d ride just to allow for more time at the other stops since it felt a little rushed. The value for your money is amazing and I will be telling all my friends to book this specific tour and request our amazing guide!! Blair was even helpful enough to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip on our bus ride back to shinjuku. Thank you for an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!

My family has been in Japan for few months now, but we did not quite make it to Mount Fuji since it is not as convenient as visiting most of the other sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a good idea. Although the price seemed on higher side, the offer tempted us to go ahead. The bus was good and the seats comfortable with good leg space. We were glad to have been offered an entire row of 4 seats all for ourselves, 2 + 1 kid. Free wi-fi on the bus was a bonus. Due to long weekend, there was more traffic which led to a delay of about an hour and the itinerary was changed, as we first headed to Oshino Ninja village for an early lunch. This place was pretty good with few options for veggies too. We got to click pics with Ninjas. Next stop was at Oshino Hakkai village with lovely fresh water, clear ponds and country-side houses which was picturesque. We then headed to Mt Fuji 5th station where the clouds played a spoil sport and hence we could not get a great view of the mountain. The time allotted here was less than 30 min which I felt was too less, as this was the main site of visit, expected at least an hour. The 4D activity was broken that day and was cancelled. Hence, as an alternate we got a boat ride at lake Kawaguchi and later went to the other side of the lake where we were in for some luck to see the Mt Fuji peak.
Overall a good experience, the guide Jack kept us engaged with information about Japan and ensured no-one was left behind!!

Although the weather completely obstructed our view of Fuji, this tour was a good way to get an insight into the mountain and visit some cool places around the area. The 4D ride was definitely a highlight, however the lunch was fairly average. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and funny and made it a great trip overall. I will be booking other tours with this company during my stay in Japan!

A full day, lots of travelling but thats what is required to see all these sites. Lunch is at a roller coaster park with some magnificent rides but the opportunity to go on these rides is not available. An option to pay for a FAST PASS to the huge roller coaster would be a plus

This was my first time booking a tour and I wasn't disappointed. Take (Tah-Kei), our host, was the best! He was fluent in English, hilarious guy and was a great guide. We were one of the lucky groups who got to see Mt. Fuji without the obstructions of clouds. LUCKY INDEED. The view from 5th station was breathtaking. The air was so clean and crisp, make sure to bring a light jacket! Everything about the tour was timed perfectly. Take had us stay another 5 minutes at 5th station because the weather was just so beautiful. I would recommend this tour for anyone that isn't going to go and climb Mt. Fuji just yet. :)

I had a wonderful time on this trip. Our tour guide Levin was great. He was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He took great care to insuring that we all had the best experience possible, which included recommendations about local treats, shopping, and interesting things that could be done alon the way. He went above and beyond the tour requirements by answering many of my questions about Japan, and gave great recommendations regarding places to eat and things to do in Tokyo. The trip itself was fun, we got very lucky and were able to see Mt. Fuji throughout the entire trip. The lunch at Ninja village was delicious. The ninja village would be a fantastic experience for the children. I wish I realized that even though it was 80 plus degrees in Tokyo, it's going to be very cold on the 5th station( about 50 degrees), a sweater would have been great to have up there. The 4D ride was fantastic! We got to see Mt. Fuji in all its glory. I would greatly recommend this trip to families traveling with children. The only negative comment is the amount of time we got to spend at each stop. If it was extended by 1 hour to 2 hours the expyeiyld have been even better and we wouldn't feel like a marathoners. Trying to absorb everything in under 30 min.

My sister and I had a wonderful time touring Mt Fuji on the Golden trip. The price was very reasonable and we saw quite a bit. We lived in Japan growing up in the 60's and I had been on Mt Fuji when I was 11 years old. At the time I was in the Boy Scouts and we were attempting to hike to the top of Mt Fuji, but the winds were strong when we awoke in the morning and our scout master aborted the trip. I did come home with the hiking stick that they still sell, but I lost mine over the years. I bought another hiking stick at a store at the 5th station on Mt Fuji and will return next year and make a successful ascent. I am recovering from Achilles surgery, so doing it this year was not an option.

We just came back from Mt. Fuji tour and somehow felt disappointed that we did not get to see the mountain due to foggy weather. However, we still had a good time taking the sky gondola and cruise on Lake Ashi. Our tour guide had been very informative, I would recommend people to do this tour, but not if the weather is foggy/rainy.

For meeting at 7am - we didn't start hiking until much later. Perhaps hiking should start earlier and for longer. There should be more time at the top and more warning about going downhill.

Being our first time to Japan, we obviously had to say hello to Fuji-san. Signed up via Veltra with Japan Panoramic Tour Agency. We were kinda anxious as it was also our first experience signing up with an online provider (sight-unseen) and we weren't sure what to expect. Our fears were unrealised, thankfully!
We were met at the designated pick-up point in Shinjuku and started our journey to Mount Fuji in a comfy bus. Along the way, we had opportunities to admire the vastness of Lake Kawaguchi, enjoy yummy blueberry ice-cream, collect cool spring water in Oshino Hakkai, and have filling lunch in a Ninja Village before getting in some fun being 'ninja-like'. We even had a cool photo shot with a ninja!
At the 5th station stop, Mount Fuji left us breathless and awed. We were so blessed to catch sight of it before it did a 'vanishing' trick in the mist! The fabulous 4D experience with Fuji Airways gave us wonderful sights of Fuji-san, which we otherwise would not have had.
Although it seemed a bit rushed at times, on the whole this was a day trip well worth the time and expense. For sure, we had a great day up the mountain!

You can get to see Mount Fuji most part of the tour. The tour guide Jack was very informative and helpful.
The view of Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi was awesome. I recommend having the blueberry ice creams they sell there. It was very yummy.
The 8 ponds around Mt Fuji at Oshino had crystal clear water and it was very beautiful. From there we proceeded to the Ninja village where we had a good buffet lunch and played some Ninja games. We tried throwing some Ninja star shaped weapons on targets, went in to the maze and got lost several times. Took some cool pics with the Ninjas. From there we went to Fuji Q Highland and I must say that this was one of the highlights of the tour. The 4D show was AWSOME and I wish I experience that again. You get to fly over Mt Fuji and see it in different seasons.
Overall the tour was very good and good value for money

Yesterday, myself and my two teenage daughters took the trip to Mt Fuji, surrounding lakes, and Hakone. It was a wonderful and relaxing day, full of beautiful scenery and lots of opportunities for souvenir shopping.
We were picked up by our friendly and courteous driver at the time we had pre-arranged. He arrived on time to our hotel, and welcomed us into the large and comfortable van. It was very spacious for the three of us and all of our packages, and could easily have fit five adults comfortably.
About an hour's drive took us to the lakes with a view of Mt Fuji. We had as much time as we liked to stroll in the lovely garden by the lake, and do some shopping for local products.
We then moved on to ascend Mt Fugi itself. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Our driver was very helpful, and encouraged us to take our time at every stop. He arranged a few extra rest stops to ensure our comfort.
From Mt Fuji, we moved on to the hot springs at Hakone. There, we had a lovely lunch, temple visit, and shopped for some souvenirs. We chose not to bathe, but we could have if we wished.
All along the way, the scenery was lovely, and we were so comfortable in our own private van. It was a very memorable and enjoyable day. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a change of pace from the busyness of Tokyo for a day. I would recommend that perhaps the traffic was a bit heavy on Sundays as so many of the locals were out enjoying the same locations, so it might be better to schedule for a weekday.

My two guides were Billy and Rica and I fell in love with both of them. They were so kind and extremely attentive to the group and our needs. They are both very experienced mountaineers and it showed. I traveled alone and was quite nervous about gear rental, but the rental was better than what I had at home. It rained most of the hike, but I stayed warm and dry. Hiking Fuji was an experience I'll never forget and I'm so happy I chose this tour. NOTE: Fuji doesn't require hiking permits so it was very crowded. Expect the hike to take longer than anticipated.
