Panorama Mt. Fuji, Hakone Pirate Ship & Gotemba Premium Outlets!

Det var uheldig, at Fuji-bjergene blev oversvømmet af skyen. Men jeg er imponeret over den munter og høflige opførsel af rejseguiden og chaufføren. Vi kan virkelig føle deres lidenskaber i deres job! Godt klaret

The trip overall was great. The ship cruise was the highlight and Mount Fuji was beautiful to see from all angles. Lunch with Mount Fuji view was unexpected and really good. The down side was that too much time was allocated to the shopping. More time could be allocated to the cruise or going to Hakone, with slightly less time shopping.

It was my last day tour in Tokyo and boy did I leave the best to last. The weather was perfect. I scouted out the pick up location before the actual tour as I didn't want to miss out on the tour. It was really well located only a five minute walk from Shinjuku station. I think my only criticism was there were mulitple tour companies collecting people for tours so it was a little confusing to start with. We had a great tour guide in Saki and I so glad I did this tour. The bus took a little over 1 hour 45 minutes to reach Hakone and it was great to see more rural Japan. Our first stop was Hakone's Lake Ashi for a 30 minute pirate ship ride across the volcanic lake. It was fantastic with the appearance of an old Pirate Galleon with the modernity of an engine. You could go up on deck to take the ride up there and the weather was perfect. We then took our tour bus which drove to the other side of the lake to pick us up down to our restaurant for lunch. We were so lucky because the clouds had cleared and as we came down the hill the spectacular Mt Fuji came into view. It was breath taking see her up close. Our restaurant had a panoramic view of Mt Fuji and we had a Shabu Shabu lunch with a variety of Japanese dishes on offer. You could eat as much or as little as you liked. Everyone on the bus was given a discount voucher for the shop attached to the restaurant but there was absolutely no pressure to shop. Due to snow on the road we were unable to go to the 5th station so we went to Miza National Park instead. We again had an unimpeded view of Mt Fuji. After this we drove to the Gotemba Premium Outlets. I was happy to have a look around but it wasn't really the place for me. Some very high end brands/ Overall this was a brilliant day tour and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Full day with lots of great photo opportunities. Unusual and interesting lunch opportunity and of course shopping. It would have topped off the tour if a cable car ride had been included at Lake Ashi but they would have had to reduce the shopping time at the factory outlets so understand that we probably didnt have time. Highly recommend this tour.

The activity is recommended for families. We loved the cruise, the shabu shabu lunch, the trip going to the second station with the views of the majestic Mt. Fuji and of course the shopping at Gotemba. We did not go to the fifth station but then we went to Yeti ski park located at the second station. It was so much fun esp. for first timers as we all rode the sled. It was so nice to play and it felt that we were children once again. We took a lot of family pictures with the Mt. Fuji as our background. Highly recommended We were picked up late at the Gracery Hotel in Shinjuku and were asked to walk about three blocks before boarding the tourist bus. We were not told the reason why, as the guide who fetched us could barely speak and understand English. She was nice but not dressed for the yeti park adventure as she was only wearing pants, a blazer and dress shoes with heels. Our guess was she just pitched in for some tourist guide who did not show up that day She was with another guide, a younger one, but could also speak and understand so little English. Both of them are so disorganized since they do not have a banner nor signage that they could hold up so we would know where to locate them. This took so much of our time just waiting for others and cannot proceed with the activities, since some tourists do not show up on time and these guides have to look for them every time we have to board the bus again. But overall, it was FUN!

The day was cloudy which meant our itinerary changed. This tour was just a shopping centre trip. The only good thing about this was the Shabu-Shabu hot pot and the boat trip on Lake Ashi. The bus took us to a very dilapidated snow resort where the warmest place was in the shop. If you wanted a coffee then walk for 5 minutes in the bitterly cold weather. After we then went for 2 hours to a shopping centre! We didnt want to go shopping- we wanted to see Mount Fuji. We had no commentary from our guide along the way. I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone considering it cost 160AUD.

Overall an enjoyable trip, unfortunately the closure of Mt.Fuji 5th station wasn't expected by the organizer is a bit surprise to me. Are we the only group visiting Mt.Fuji 5th station in that week? There should be a bottle of mineral water given by the organizer unfortunately perhaps everyone too excited and forget about it.

It is only this cource that can go to Hakone pirates ship,Mt fuji new 5th station and Gotemba outlet, my recommendation !

Mt.fuji,hakone,outlet, This tour only to go to this three spots .

I am satisfied with the tour, as the content is rich enough. I am able to went to Mt. Fuji, Hakone and outlet in just one day, which I think only this tour can make it like this! Because I can not speak Japanese, so I was a little nervous. But there was no problem at all, as the guide has an i-pad for translation service. An interpreter will come out on the screen of i-pad, which is very efficient.
