The tour was very good. The only problem was that there was not quite enough time to spend at each place in order to see everything.

Great day. Weather was nice so I had some great pictures.

Would have been better if we could have been picked up from our hotel.

The tour was excellent. My only disappointment was that we were not returned to our hotel. We were dropped off in the Ginza area and had to return unescorted via subway.

The trip was great and they picked me up at the hotel, but they didn't drop me back off at the hotel and we go lost on the metro back.

Found the tour to be a bit of a rush. Did not get to spend much time at Mt Fuji. Spent more time stuck in traffic.

This tour is good as far as tours go. I would have liked to drive myself but you must have a death wish to drive on Japanese roads.

Wasted trip. Did not manage to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji due to weather. As such, the trip ended much earlier. Should have brought the tour to another site, e.g. the peace pagoda, since the operator known the bad weather at departure.

Nice tour, but we didn't get very close to Mt. Fuji and the trip was very rushed. We could have used more time at each stop.

The hotel pickup and bus station portion is well planned and orchestrated. A very full bus, including very uncomfortable seating for larger passengers and no options for reseating. Trip up to Mt. Fuji was interesting, with nice scenery and a pleasant guide. The mountain was in the clouds, so visibility was limited. Only about 15 minutes at 5th station, mostly a souvenir stop. Lunch was good. Trip to Hakone was OK but not great scenery. No stop in Hakone, and we never saw the hot pot area shown in the promotional page. Boat ride was very short and not on one of the boats shown on the website, just a nondescript large pleasure boat. Walk up from lake shore to ropeway was very brisk, very steep, and too hurried for many in our group. Ropeway also obscured by poor visibility, and we had very little time, and there was nothing to see at the top. Ride back to Tokyo long and in the dark. OK, but it would have been more pleasant with more comfortable seating. Drop-off on a street corner in Ginza or outside the Shinjuku bus station. Guides help prepare you for trip back to hotel, but unless you're familiar a little, it is difficult.

Unfortunately Mt Fuji was covered in cloud and the wind was extremely strong. We enjoyed the boat cruise and cable car ride. It was a long day as we were one of the first picked up in the morning. The lunch was tasty and a in a great venue. Luckily we were familiar with the train system to get back to the hotel at the end of the day.

The tour guide was a little boring. There was no difference from when we had a video introducing places of interest on the coach. The road condition is unpredictable. I'll recommend taking the train back, as we were experienced very bad road jam on the way back, despite it being on a Monday. However, Mt Fuji is beautiful.

The trip to Fuji is great but the rest of the trip was a waste of time. The afternoon is filled with tourist shopping and inconsequential attractions - boat trip is 7 minutes on the water if you are lucky.

It said 'wheelchair accessible' and I have stated in my booking that my mum is in a wheelchair, but the bus arranged is just a normal tour bus. Luckily my mum is not totally immobile, otherwise I can't imagine how we could finish the trip. The driver and tour guide were very helpful. The content of the Chinese pre-recorded tape is not updated.
