We felt cheated to some extent for 2 reasons:
The main one was the tour was supposed to be a Lake Ashi tour, but we ended up taking a cruise at Lake K (unsure of spelling).
All the stops are too short, just at most 30 mins each. The stop at Station 5 Mount Fuji should be at least 1 hour.

Our trip was absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful tour guide and she made everything so much more interesting. We actually got to see Mt. Fuji which is a rarity thanks to clouds. Lunch was an adventure with a beautifully laid out bento box. And the hike up to the springs above Lake Ashi was exhilerating and the black eggs so much fun (seven more years of life). Over all it was a wonderful day and I'd highly recommend it.. I'm so lucky to have found the Viator site. They made everything so easy!

We had a well knowledgeable guide who was very kind and kept us informed. It was a difficult trip because it was snowing and because of the snow and the haze we didn't get to see what we paid to see...Mt Fuji. But all in all we got to still ferry on Lake Ashi and ride the cable car up. Lunch was exquisite and if you don't pay for it, you miss out ... BIG...!! It was presented beautifully and tasted just as amazing as it looked. The Place wasn't crowded even though it seemed as if it would be and it was great Would recommend everyone to try it out regardless of the season.

Our guide Tadashi was amazing. He kept us entertained through the long drives with lots of stories about Japan and an origami lesson. Everything was very punctual and efficiently organised and the trip itinerary itself was very good.

We have great tour leader who speaks good and clear English.Kudos to Ms Toko.She is really good at her stuff.Total experienced was really good.We enjoyed the tour but it could be better if we are able to stay longer at Mt Fuji and enjoy the scenery longer which same goes for Lake Ashi cruise.Time taken is much shorter than what sated in the itinerary.Lastly,it would be great if the participants are at least be given a bottle of water each as the journey was long.We have paid hundreds of dollars so I think just a small bottle of water doesn't occur loses to the company. Please do take my suggestion into consideration, GREAT JOB people.

This trip was absolutely amazing. We saw so much in one day. Enjoyed the lunch at the very smart restaurant at the bottom of Mt Fuji. Loved the boat cruise on Lake Ashi and the ride in the cable car even though the weather was poor. Another good guide. The only suggestion I would make is when Mt Fuji comes into view, the bus stop so we can get a good photo of it from a distance. Otherwise, the opportunity can be lost.

It was Ok but could have been better. They could not visit us Lake Ashi. I suspect they always tried to escape telling the road/traffic conditon/driver not good/judgement etc. but they should take care this point in future. Specially they took much time during returning and it was around 4 hours. They could use highway road! Anyway, finally thanks for the tour and I hope better one in future.

Good tour to see Mt Fuji and Lake Ashi. Cable car trip to the top of the mountain at Lake Ashi is well worth it to see the views of mt fuji and the surrounding areas.

We only had good views of Mount Fuji from afar on the motorcoach. Due to the fact that it was winter, we were only allowed to go up to the fifth station and did not see much up there. Luckily the weather was clear but very cold, so be prepared with warm clothes and our guide had informed us that on rainy days, the views would have been much more limited. The cable car ride and the lake cruise were okay, but nothing special. Lunch consisted of many small items which were tasty but not very filling overall considering the extra price. This trip is certainly worth doing, but perhaps the views would be much better in the summer or spring. It would have been good to have more time to browse in the shops near Lake Ashi, instead of giving us a break halfway in the middle of nowhere during the coach journey back.

This trip is a lot of travelling with not much time to get off the coach. I was expecting the boat trip on Lake Ashi to be longer than 5 minutes! That was disappointing. The views are great but everything just felt a bit rushed.

Felt a bit ripped off as we didnt go up to the 5th Station of Mt fuji as planned. Also didnt get to go to Lake Ashi and do the cableride or the cruise at Mt Ashi. We ended up going to Laka Kawasaki and the old cable car ride there as a substitute. View was great for the weather we were having. Was disappointed re the Japanese lunch. I didnt think it was worth that much, and it was just a cold lunchbox with one piece of sashimi tuna. It wasnt that filling, and I'm a girl! But overall, it was a good tour, got some great photos.

Everything was so organized. The tour guide was great and knowledgeable of the history of the places we toured, the traditional Japanese lunch was superb. Very nice and interesting views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi.

The tour was awesome. The day was clear and perfect for seeing Mount Fuji. It was also beautiful seeing Lake Ashi and going up the cable cars to get a panoramic view - breathtaking.

The day we went it was raining so didn't see anything. Couldn't see Mt Fuji. Cable car ride was cancelled, too windy. Lake Ashi could only see one metre ahead on the boat. All in all a terrible experience. I am sure if the weather had been better we would have rated this trip highly. Therefore I recommend that you do not book this trip ahead of time, but check the weather at Mt Fuji numerous websites once you are in Tokyo. If the weather is good try and book. Yes you may not be able to get a seat if you leave the booking so late, but if there is a hint of rain at Fuji, you cannot see anything. Check weather before you book!!!!!!!

Japan has many things to offer. However, nothing compared to this trip which I enjoyed most to Mount Fuji and Lake Ashii. It is the best experience ever with breathtaking views from the moment the tour bus departs. The whole tour was very well organized with friendly ground staffs. Absolutely highly recommended!
