Absolutely terrific trip. A bit of a chore having to drop off overnight travellers at their hotel, but thoroughly enjoyed it even though the weather packed up and views to Mt Fuji in the afternoon were nonexistent. Great guide, great concept and great value for money!

Fantastic trip, guide was very enthusiastic and informative. We were lucky that Fuji was completely clear when we went, the guide was telling us that it is rare for that to happen. Note that you will be on the bus a lot. Hotel to bus station to Fuji Visitor Center to 5th station to Lake AshiHakone Komagatake Ropeway to Odawara Station is all by bus. Time to shop for souvenirs at each stop. Taking the bullet train back was a nice finishing touch, although you may arrive back at Tokyo Station during rush hour. Tip 1: You can take pictures of Fuji at the Fuji Visitor Center, but one the widest, least obstructed views is on the bus ride over, so you may want to sit on the left side and have your camera ready. Tip 2: You can use your bullet train ticket to transfer onto a JR train to get back to your hotel, as there is no drop off service. Tip 3: You can opt to use your bullet train ticket to travel elsewhere in Japan. One couple brought their luggage and used it to go to Yokohama.

It was by far the easiest and best way to see Mt. Fuji. The guide was very good and very informative on the way there. We chose lunch on our own and were very rushed to get on the bus. The Italian restaurant took a long time to get our pizzas out. It was a wonderful day and had a great time. It was a great taste of it all. It was a better price than others listed.

Take the Mt. Fuji tour; it is worth it. Make sure you do the bullet train back to Tokyo. It's a once in a lifetime experience. Skip the lunch meal and bring your own or eat at the restaurant there. It's much cheaper to do it that way, instead of adding the food.

This tour has a great value, and we would recommend to anyone. It would have been impossible to visit so many places on my own in a day. I would do this anytime when I am in Japan.

Our tour guide was adorable! There's a separate driver, so she was able to entertain and educate us on the long drive to Mt Fuji. Our tour bus was able to bypass the LONG row of cars stuck on the roads going uphill. Many tourists, including locals, on Mt Fuji. The food stands there are yummy. The ferry ride was gorgeous - I felt like a model with the wind blowing in my hair as we snapped pictures. When the day ended, we were confused about which transit line to take to the hotel. Our tour guide came along with us through several transfers to make sure we ended up on the correct line. That was so generous of her - the people there are incredible. Excellent experience! Plenty of sights & activities to list!

Whilst we did not get a picture perfect view of Mt Fuji, it was breathtaking! The tour guide was really informative and made the journey seem much quicker than it was. The cable car was amazing. I would strongly recommend to anyone.

A very good trip, though there were long bus rides. We had an unusual clear day to view Mt. Fuji. The Japanese lunch was interesting--I added it at the restaurant. The bullet train ride was a great experience. Very good guide.

The tour was definitely worth every cent. I would recommend to any of my friends going to Japan to definitely book a tour with this company.
