We Got Lucky with Mt. Fuji!

5.00It was raining when we left Tokyo, so I wasn't expecting much. I told myself that even if we couldn't see Mt. Fuji, I would just enjoy the day trip. The guide was very friendly and shared lots of interesting information during the bus ride, which made the journey enjoyable. To our surprise, the weather improved as we got closer to Mt. Fuji. When we reached the 5th Station, the clouds had cleared and we had an amazing view of the mountain. Seeing Mt. Fuji appear after such a gloomy start made the experience even more special. It turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Japan.

4.00We were picked up at our hotel and then experienced many different activities which was excellent. Should note that Gotemba Peace Garden is on top of a very steep hill. Only challenge for us was understanding the guide. He was very nice, helpful.
Fuji and cherry blossoms!

5.00Really beautiful to get out of the city and see Japan's beauty! Our guide was very good and our driver was fantastic, driving us up narrow switchback in a giant bus. We had an amazing detour because the Hakone Shrine was closed. Instead we went to Fuji Heiwa Park. Absolutely breathtaking with the cherry blossoms and Fuji as a backdrop. Although a little hazy, it was still quite a site! Honestly, for a trip like that, let someone else drive and you enjoy!
Mt.Fuji & Hakone trip

3.00We started out at 8.45 am from the designated pick up point. At 10.30 am we were just out of Tokyo. And we were told the Hakone visit maybe cancelled. On our way we could see Mt.Fuji clearly but as we got closer, the clouds built up. We should've gotten there sooner. At about 12 noon, we got a restroom break. Since it was cloudy at the peak we were not taken to the 2nd station (versus the 5th station as mentioned in the tour). At 1.45 pm we were taken to a restaurant for lunch. Lunch was okay. At this point, we were wondering what this tour was about. Then the Hakone trip was back on track and the visit to Peace Garden gave us a good view of Mt.Fuji albeit topped by a few clouds. The rest of the trip was good although the Hakone Shrine was given a miss. The guide Tomimoto (Tommy) was not coherent at all and would leave the sentence mid air. He meant well but his English is not clear at all.

1.00The tour guide was lovely, very informative but the long queues, being 1 hour then 35 minutes, at the cable car (which was a waste of time due to dense cloud cover and rain), caused us to miss the pirate boat ride. We were refunded a measley one thousand yen each. It would have been better to skip the cable car all together and just head to the boat. This, along with no vision of Mt Fuji (nobody’s fault) made the very very long day, a waste of time. The Peace park, replacing the canceled shrine visit was okay.
All great sights and...

3.00All great sights and professional tour operator- but all felt too rushed to fit into a day. I would opt for a bit lighter on activities next time.
