Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Such a great experience!

Reviewed by: Cary

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!

This tour is spent mainly on the bus. The stops are not more than 30 mins. The lunch place was awful with no atmosphere. Due to mist the cable car and boat trip was a waste of time.

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

Unforgettable Experience!

Reviewed by: Stars

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

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!

Good but very rigorous.

Reviewed by: Sofia

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.

Mt. Fuji Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise and Ropeway Ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya

Good day out!

Reviewed by: Olivia

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.

We had a great experience on the mountain. Very safe and the guides were excellent. Our translator was teke and he was excellent. Experience overnight in the heart was very good as well.

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

Breathtaking sunrise hike

Reviewed by: Ian

The Fuji hike was everything we expected it to be – amazing, fun and challenging! The tour started at Shinjuku station and we arrived at 5th station before commencing the hike. Make sure you stock up on food and snacks, and bring plenty of Japanese yet with you as you will churn through water and snacks, and rest stations only accept cash.
The hike itself was a bit of a challenge, but fun. You have the option of renting out hiking gear. We opted not to as we had our own hiking boots and weatherproof clothing. Depending on your level of fitness, hiking sticks may or may not be worthwhile. If you are unwell or think you may be at risk of altitude sickness, may sure you bring some anti-nausea medication, purchase the oxygen they sell or try for some lower altitude climbs first, but the sunrise from the top is definitely worth it! The hike day itself was a bit cloudy, but we were fortunate enough to see the sunrise clearly! It will be an early start to ensure you hike to the top in time. The guide was great and was able to communicate well enough in English with us. There may be heaps of other groups hiking to the summit but you definitely will have plenty of space to enjoy the view on your own and take some beautiful snaps.
Following the hike down, we were taken to an onsen for lunch and to relax – perfect way to rest and revive the soul. Whilst the guide following the hike had limited English skills, it was still enough for us to communicate and get by. Overall it was an amazing experience, which I would recommend and do again! (Maybe after I rest up)

Disappointed tour

Reviewed by: MTP

Tour was not well organized. We were scheduled to be picked up at Royal Park hotel, then bus didn’t come there. One tour staff member came and got cabs for us to go to the other hotel where the bus parked there. The tour guide lady told us that tour was full that day and there were only 3 seats left for us but not together! Why they couldn’t assign seat number? Some activities were canceled.

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

Not a hike in which you get to stop and smell the roses.

Reviewed by: Greg

I was honestly looking forward to this hike. I asked many questions about the hike because my intention was to be able to enjoy the hike. I wanted to take pictures, take my time, relax, etc. and just generally enjoy the hike. Unfortunately, the guide seemed like he was on a time frame. Due to that, this turned out to be a miserable experience. Rest breaks were few and far between and it was a push, push, push to get to the 8th station.

My recommendation is that if you want to enjoy the experience, then don’t do a group hike. If you really want to actually enjoy the hike, then do it on your own.

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

Amazing experience!! A must do while visiting Japan!

Reviewed by: Kiko & Min

I don't know where to start this review except to say this is one of the most amazing experiences in Japan and I wouldn't suggest doing it any other way. I went with my friend and we had an absolutely amazing time. I would like to mention that even the directions about where the meeting location is was very clear. The bus ride was also more comfortable than we expected it to be. We were both a little worried about the hike as we are not too experienced. However, our guide was so kind and helpful and he kept making sure that everyone in our group was feeling okay and that we were all staying hydrated. Our guide was also very good at speaking English so we didn't feel left out at any point. He knew the answers to all of our questions about Mt. Fuji which kept us entertained throughout some of the tougher parts of the hike. We rented a bunch of gear which we highly recommend as it was a very smooth and convenient process to rent and return and the equipment was definitely necessary! I would definitely recommend bringing warm clothes and enough snacks and food as it can be quite expensive on the mountain, or bring enough money as you need to pay to use the toilets as well! The hot spring after the whole climbing experience was a very nice addition and made the trip that much more memorable! Overall, we loved the whole experience and highly recommend it as it was very professional and well-planned which helped ensure it to be a wonderful experience.

Unfortunate weather but really excellent guides

Reviewed by: Kent and Luc

So we didn’t summit due to unfortunate weather. The guides however were top notch. They took such good care of us. We were leading the pack and the guides always caught up to us to make sure we were ok and then went back down the mountain to help others. They even called ahead for us to let the mountain hut know we were coming so we wouldn’t wait in the pouring rain and blistering wind. When we came back down, the guides (Ken and Taichi) provided excellent directions. Later on I was caring a bag of trash around and he took it from me and got rid of it. It’s those little attention to detail that made us feel we want to come back and try again in the future. Ken and Taichi are the best. Thanks for taking such good care of us.

Challenging and rewarding

Reviewed by: S Williams

Climbing Fujisan was an unforgettable experience. It was a physical challenge and should not be taken lightly. The guides were excellent and took care of every member of the group. It may feel frustrating at times because the walking pace is slow with frequent breaks, but the guides are experienced and know that this is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Take it easy and enjoy the experience!
Be prepared. It's VERY cold up the top. Take plenty of layers, wrap up warm to make sure you can enjoy the sunrise over Japan.
The trip was a good way of climbing Fujisan since everything was taken care of. The pick-up and drop-off from/to Tokyo was easy, the accommodation and food at 8th station was all arranged for us, and we knew that we were is safe hands with our guides.
The Onsen on the way back to Tokyo was a treat, and helped with recovery after a tough two days of climbing!
It was a very challenge but a very rewarding experience. And the views were spectacular.

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

Memorable experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: Jenny Liu

We decided climbing Mt. Fuji was one of the must-do things in Japan. We booked with a guided tour with Veltra, which took a lot of the stress off of planning logistics (transportation, lodging, safety). The climb was difficult as we thought it would be, but the tour made things much easier as we had company and guides who were very knowledgeable about the mountain, including safety tips and sites with deeper spiritual meaning. The hike was difficult as expected, but the guides made things as painless as possible such as giving us breaks when needed and going at a decent pace. My favorite parts of the experience were seeing the beautiful sunrise at the top and learning about different aspects of the mountain that I would not have known going by myself. Mt. Fuji in Japan is a must and although challenging, you feel a sense of accomplishment reaching the summit. To top it all off, we were treated to a nice onsen afterwards. If you are thinking about going, I would bring enough snacks (they help rejuvenate you and make the hike less miserable), good hiking shoes, warm layers, and around 2 liters of water as well as enough money for the bathroom and food at the top. The guides gave us some gloves, which proved to be crucial as it is very cold and you do need your hands for climbing at some point. I would also consider investing in a hiking stick that you can buy at 5th station; it made the hike MUCH easier for me. All in all, Mt. Fuji was a memorable experience and I am so glad to have had company who made the hike more pleasant!

This climbing tour is wonderful because I can step out of my comfort zone. I am not an active person with frequent exercises so this climbing tour is a challenge for me. The long-term walking and cold weather were required for me to overcome. However, with the support of professional tour guides, I went to the top of the Mt Fuji and enjoyed a good view of sunrise. Although the course was exhausting, the result is exciting and worth it. I enjoy this wonderful tour.
