Mt. Fuji 2-Day English-Guided Climbing Tour from Tokyo or Fuji 5th Station

Meant for beginners

Reviewed by: John Rambo, 2019/08/29

Let me be clear, the guides from this tour are great. However, there were 38 people in my group, which is insane. Next, the pace that the tour guides force everybody to walk at is slower than a turtle. I completely understand they are trying to accommodate the slowest and least fit hikers, but this was super frustrating. It took us 6 hours to get from 5th station to 8th station. We stopped every 20 minutes for breaks. During our sleep over in the hut at 8th station, everyone was literally given a space to sleep in that was 2 feet wide (about 60 cm). This was awkward and impossible. Finally, my group never got to summit the mountain because there was poor weather the morning of our summit. Other independent hikers were summiting, however, we likely didn’t because our guides were concerned about the inexperienced hikers in our group.....I mean, one guy was actually hiking in skinny black denim jeans!!! In conclusion, I could have summited and descended back to 5th station in around 7 hours. This group reaches only 8th station in 6 hours. If you are a meditate level hiker or better, just do this hike independently.

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

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: LeZakAttack, 2019/08/26

Outstanding from beginning to end.

The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and spoke IMPECCABLE English.

There was heavier than usual traffic and the guide kept us updated on ETA and impact on schedule.

All the activities were excellent, including the substituted activities that were neceisstated due to closures of part of the original activity (due to volcanic activity).

Mt. Fuji 2-Day English-Guided Climbing Tour from Tokyo or Fuji 5th Station

Had expect something different

Reviewed by: Pauline, 2019/08/25

The information gave that it was a beginners trail. To me it was more than beginners. I found it quite a challenge. I ended up not going to the summit, because the climb to the 8th station wore me out. Also the sleeping arrangement could be better. There was 7 girls next to eachother and the whole time I tried to sleep I could feel the two girls next to me. I would appreciate a little more (private) room. 6 girls on that same space would have been more than enough. I found the information before the trip incomplete. More info could have been given on the trail, the sleeping arrangement and the cold an rain that can be expected.

Great tour experience

Reviewed by: Russell NY, 2019/08/23

The guide was terrific - friendly and knowledgeable. She kept the group engaged and interested. It's a shame that Mt Fuji was shy and hiding from the tourists but that's no fault of Veltra. We had a wonderful time on Fuji and the rest of the tour anyway.

Bad weather destroyed this tour. The operator was aware of the typhoon that hit Japan but decided to go ahead with the tour. The weather did not improve, we could not see mt fuji at all. Instead we saw a museum and a pathetic aquarium.

Mt. Fuji 2-Day English-Guided Climbing Tour from Tokyo or Fuji 5th Station

Peace of mind and memorable moments!

Reviewed by: Shay Zak, 2019/08/19

Veltra is a first class tour company. They ensured my needs and the needs of the other climbers in the group were met. The guides clearly communicated the itinerary, meeting times, and expectations. Our safety was paramount. As a group we were well prepared. We had the correct gear to ensure a successful climb and memorable experience. Despite the less than favourable circumstances with the large number of other climbers they never complained or displayed a negative attitude. I felt confident in my guides climbing expertise and knowledge of climbing and the area.

The group tour was very well organized from start to end.
Climbing Mt Fuji with a group tour is the best way to do it since logistically everything is taken care for you. Essentially, worry free.
It was worth it.

Mt Fuji 2-Day Climbing Tour from Shinjuku Station with Optional Crater Tour

I had a good experience

Reviewed by: Angela Thibedeau, 2019/08/15

I enjoyed the trip, however the details were not very clear in English.

The guide was awesome and did a great job of checking on people and how they were doing.
I had to turn back and couldn't finish the climb but the guide still searched me out the next day to check on me and encourage me to try again.

I will be coming back again!

If you are lucky, you are gonna see the most beautiful scenery including lakes, Flower farm with Mount Fuji at the backdrop. The grape farm was so nice experience with sweet grapes.

Please check the weather before going. For vegetarians, veltra arranged special food for me.

Budget-friendly Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Chureito Pagoda & Oshino Hakkai

Very rushed.

Reviewed by: Nad, 2019/08/14

Due to the holiday season, there was a jam towards our destination. What usually was a 90mins drive became a 3 hours drive up and 21/2 hours drive back. So we had to cut short the time spent at all our pitstops. 30 mins each at the first, 2nd and 3rd. There were 7 ponds we should visit at the last stop, but by the time we walk from the bus bay to the first pond, it's time to walk back towards the bus. We only had 1hr at the premium outlet. Again we were parked a distance away, which left us with 45mins to shop and to queue to pay. Totally ridiculous. It felt like we have totally wasted our money on this tour. Rushed and ran the whole time. And with a child in tow, it certainly took away all the fun. Maybe it is just the wrong time to go during the holiday season.

Reviewed by: Michael , 2019/08/13

We enjoyed the tour overall, but it felt a bit rushed.
It would have been more enjoyable if we could have had more time at the 5th level of Mount Fuji and at Oshino Hakkai and less time at the Gotemba outlet shops.

Yoko was such a fun and helpful tour guide! From the informative bus ride, the beauty and awe of Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi, and the Ropeway, to the ride back to Tokyo on the bullet train, this was a fabulous excursion. I highly recommend this day-trip.

Yoko even guided nearly our entire tour group from Tokyo Station to Shinjuku Station after even though the tour ended at Tokyo Station. Such a helpful and kind person!

Mt Fuji 2-Day Climbing Tour from Shinjuku Station with Optional Crater Tour

Unforgettable Experience!

Reviewed by: Stars, 2019/08/06

I've joined "Overnight Mt. Fuji Climbing Tour with Bus from Tokyo (July 1-Sept 7, 2019) / Yoshida Route Plan / Designated 8th Station Lodge" last weekend.

It was most fun experience I've ever experienced!
To climb up Mt Fuji from 5station is kinda tough but, to see the sunrise on the highest mountain Japan, it is worth it.
I also joined crater tour on the summit, the price is only additional 500yen and i’m so impressed.
You will be able to see the shadow of Mt.Fuji which called “Kage Fuji” if you are lucky.
I strongly recommeded this tour itself and additional crater tour!!

Mt Fuji 2-Day Climbing Tour from Shinjuku Station with Optional Crater Tour

Excellent tour to scale Mt. Fuji!

Reviewed by: Samuel, 2019/07/31

Great tour for first-time climbers of Mt. Fuji! All-in-one package and fuss free, which was great!

Meeting point was at Shinjuku (big train station, so do arrive early to find the meeting point!). As part of the tour, we stopped by a Yamarental shop to collect hiking equipment.

After which, we were taken to lodge at 5th station (approx. 2300m above sea level), where we could put things not needed for the summit in lockers (JPY 500 for each locker).

Our group was a mixture of ages. The guide was great; he set a good pace that all of us could follow, taking frequent breaks so that we could acclimatize to the increasing altitude. We started the hike at 1pm, and reached the 8th Station (approx. 3400m) by 7pm.
Thankfully, as part of the tour, the mountain lodge was already booked and we also received a hot meal.
The mountain lodge bunk beds were cramped but overall it was a good and warm place to rest before summiting.

At about 1am, we set off again to climb up to the 9th station and the summit.
We reached at the summit (approx. 3600m) at about 4am and caught the sunrise. Our guide was great because he knew of an empty spot, and so we were able to capture great photos of the sunset away from the crowds.

One tip is to bring sufficient funds if you want to buy the Mt. Fuji Walking Stick (JPY 1000-2000) as a memento, because you will pass plenty of mini-rest stops where they will offer to brand the walking stick with a unique design (from JPY 300 - 500). As there are about 20 of these different designs, bring sufficient money!
Also, the food/drink at each rest stop becomes progressively more expensive the higher you go; good to have a large supply of candy/snacks/isotonic drink with you. Also, the use of toilets on Mt. Fuji (at 5th station and all other stations) require JPY 100 - 400 to access.
Finally, 5th station also has a number of souvenir shops that sell unique Mt. Fuji-themed souvenirs, so do bring more money for that too!

Reviewed by: Sofia, 2019/07/28

It was a breathless tour, with very limited time in the actual landmarks. Lunch was rushed as we had to wait for our soup/bowl to be cooked. Lovely presentation but we had 30 minutes only at the restaurant.Going into a theme park for lunch caused delays going in and out. Not really well thought from the organizing company. Our tour guide was lovely and he took us by the hand to help us buy or JR pass on our return to Tokyo.

Good day out!

Reviewed by: Olivia, 2019/07/27

To anyone that hasn't been to Fuji before, whether it be on this tour, any other tour OR just your own, please understand that you might not see the summit at all. This is no fault of the tours company. I've been on two of these tours, I saw a faint outline of Fuji the first time and none of it the second time, that's just the luck of the draw.

My trip was in the summer also, Fuji is far more visible in the winter because the clouds are higher.

As a day out it's very nice. The food and the garden at the restaurant were lovely, the boat ride and the cable car are both very fun, and the wood crafts and souvenirs in Hakone (yosegi zaiku) are some of the most beautiful in Japan in my opinion.

Everything you do on this tour could be done alone with enough pre-planning, but it is nice to be around other English speakers once in a while if you're on a long trip.
