Most of the tour was delightful, with the exception of the rain and the inability to see Mt. Fuji. That is no fault of the tour, just the weather. I was however not impressed with the lake cruise. I wish that they had some commentary on the boat to let you know about the lake and the scenery. All in all a good tour.
It was raining, the guide was OK, lunch excellent, although we did not see a bit of Fuji :) check the weather forecast before booking!
Great guide and good trip despite bad weather.
Excellent tour. Very well organised with great tour guides. I personally found the first day quite taxing and could have happily visited either the Owakudani Ropeway or Lake Ashi on the Pirate boat, both of which were interesting, but possibly not both. After that, the ride on the Shinkansen to Kyoto was nice, but in the dark and stopping at almost every station (in spite of being a "superexpress train", having to change trains at Nagoya, and not getting to the hotel until around 10 p.m made it a very long day, as I had to be up at 6 a.m. to get to the beginning of the tour. The Righa Royal Hotel in Kyoto was very comfortable and good quality for a tourist class hotel, but I was surprised to have to pay extra for breakfast at 25,000 yen each day for a buffet breakfast, even accounting for the high prices in Japan as a whole. Generally a good trip and to be recommended. If you travel, as I did, on your own, one of the highlights of the trip may be meeting others from many countries taking the same trip. I found that part very pleasant and interesting.
One o f the best day trips I've ever done. Highly recommended. Be prepared for a really full day of touring. Excellent value. Our guide (?Ako) was excellent.
Great day, the skies cleared so we had a great view of Mt Fuji. Our guide was fantastic, and she even had the bus stop at an undesignated stop when the cloads cleared so we can see the mountain.
It is difficult to rate our experience as the weather did not co-operate so we didn't get to see Mount Fuji, no view on the 15 minute boat ride and did not go on the cable car. We also had a quick lunch that was average. Our guide was very nice and tried to everything she can by taking us to the art museum where we found out photos were not allowed which was another dissappointment. Getting on the bus at the central bus station was organized and I liked the fact that seats were ore assigned. The Mt Fuji visitor center was extremely crowded and seemed to cater to visitors who spoke Mandarin. In comparison to other vistor centers in other Countries, I feel that the experience at the visitor center can be improved. It is not consistent with the high qualities that Japan often demonstrates.
there was a spring storm during my trip and we did not get to mt. fuji. I would rather that the trip was cancelled and our tour re-booked.
It was rainy day thus it was off operation for cable car station. Unfortunately we cant go to Mt Fuji. Though the stn closed, but i think tour guide should at least stop us at some where that we can see the mount fuji and take some pictures as memory....
Ok but not as exciting as we thought it would be. Would have like to go higher up mt Fiji .lake ashi disappointing. Too much offer of shopping.
Bullet train ride back great !!!

Three and a half star! It was a very fun trip and most of the sights were wonderful. I recommend that you bring food with you though, because the lunch portions were very small. We were lucky enough to get good views of the mountain on the day we went. Overall I think this tour is over priced and that's why I didn't give it four or even five stars.
Tour guide was great and very informative and pretty easy to understand. We lucked out and got to see some Cherry Blossoms along the way to Mt. Fuji. Hotel in Hakone was very nice, but the local bus stops running at 7pm so we didn't have time to go out anywhere to explore and there is nothing close by. Next time would love 2 nights so we'd have more time to explore the area. Beautiful!!
