Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Really Good day. Great tour guide who was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately due to the weather, we only got as high as the fourth station and the view wasn't great. However the tour guide kept was apologetic (although she couldn't do anything) and made alternative plans when we couldn't go on the cable car either. I learnt a lot about Japan, got to see some great scenery and had a quick, but unforgettable trip on the bullet train.

Doing what: Kyoto and Nara 2-Day or 3-Day Rail Tour by Bullet Train from Tokyo
This was a great tour! We were picked up at our hotel, escorted to the bullet train (actually put us in our seats), picked up at the Kyoto station (a host was waiting on the platform) and taken to lunch. After lunch we started our Nara tour with a knowledgeable guide. We were returned to our Kyoto hotel by the tour bus.
The next morning, the bus picked us up at the hotel and we did the morning tour and afternoon tour of Kyoto. The bus took us to the Kyoto station and the host put us on the bullet train back to Tokyo. We arrived in Tokyo and we were met by another host at the platform. He escorted the group to cabs, which returned us to our hotel.
The only recommendation we have is that the lunch breaks should be a little shorter. This would have provided us more time at the Kyoto sights.
Everyone related to the tour company was friendly and extremely competent. We highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Excellent, but very long day as we were staying at Haneda Airport hotel. Fortunately the weather broke to give us some views of Mt Fuji. The "Bullet Train" was awsome and it was really a bonus to see the Cherry Blossoms in full bloom. Thank You Viator for a great day.

Very well organised. Our guide Su, was very informative, interesting and fun to be with. We had a very good day and are glad that we went on the organised tour. Anyone wanting to see Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi and return on the Bullet train, this is the best way to do it because everything is arranged for you.

Hassle-free! I recommend to take the bullet train going back to Tokyo so that you'd have more time to explore the city at night. We got to visit the 4th station and it had a nice view from the top (aside from seeing the the white cap of Mt. Fuji up close). The serving for lunch was small but I think the other tourists enjoyed it. We opted out for the included lunch and tried the hotel buffet instead. It was so-so.

If you only have a short stay in Tokyo this tour is a must. A very well organised day in Tokyo / Mt Fuji. I can see that this would be a hard tour to get right 100% of the time but they have lots of back up plans so that you get great value for money and experience the mountain to its maximum potential on the day. The tour guide was very informative and very helpful throughout the day. The coach was very comfortable and the lunch was a very nice Japanese experience. The only thing that I can highly recommend is to finish the day on the bullet train as it is a long day and it is a lot faster way of getting back to your hotel rather than going home on the coach, as I saw this tour without the bullet train on offer if you wanted to save $40.

I loved the tour, Harry our tour guide was the best! He was very informative about the places we visited and just on Japanese culture. Luckily we were able to get to level 4 that day, so we had magnificent views. Since I've been back I've told everyone about the tour and it and if they have a chance to visit Tokyo, they should book this tour. The boat ride on Lake Ashi was fantastic, was able to take great pics and see wonderful views. The cable car ride up the mountain was good too. I love being able to see Lake Ashi and the Pacific ocean all at the same time. And to end a great day was the ability to ride the Shinkansen (bullet train) back to Tokyo. I would definitely go on this tour again.

Very well panned out. The tour employees are very welcoming to the tour employees. Too bad they don't have an option for first class bullet train both ways.

The tour was excellent. We went on a crystal clear day and although it was cold, the views were spectacular. Highlight was bullet train ride back to Tokyo. Our tour fuide Harry was very knowledgable and full of information.

Doing what: 2-Day Mt Fuji, Hakone and Bullet Train Tour from Tokyo
A lovely trip. First day you see Fuji, Hakone, Boat and cable car ride. Scenic's are gorgeous (on a sunny day). Bullet train that night (for 1 nighters), or stay overnight. Next day, you're on your own, hard if you don't know Japanese. But the sights are wonderful. I say worth the 2 days.

I highly recommend the trip. Lunch was great and so was the return via bullet train. I'd strongly recommend. The guide was also very knowledgeable.
