I booked the Fuji Mountain 5th Station tour a couple of months ago, as it was one of the few options available to reach the 5th Station. Unfortunately, due to medical issues, I was unable to join at the last minute and had to let my 16-year-old son go on the tour by himself. The local Limon team could have discouraged me, but instead they respected my decision while assuring me they would ask the guide to pay special attention to my son, since he is a minor. To my surprise, my son turned out to be the only participant on a bus designed for about 40 people. Despite that, the Limon team kept their promise and provided the full experience, including the 5th Station, ropeway, and Kawaguchi cruise. They took good care of him throughout, and he truly enjoyed this special one-on-one tour. I also appreciate that they proactively helped me initiate a refund for my ticket, even though they still delivered the entire tour for my son. This thoughtful support made me feel reassured. Although I wasn’t able to participate myself, it was a very positive experience overall. I’m truly grateful to the Limon local team for their care and professionalism, and I will definitely use Viator and Limon again in the future.

Pros : Accomodating and service oriented tour guide in the name of Anju. Very comfortable trip as Limon tour dispatched a big bus for us inspite of we are only 6 tourist. Cons Unfortunate that we didnt see the beauty of mt fuji because of the thick clouds. It rained when at the top of kamakaguchi ropeline until decent. Overall a satsfying tour experience compensated by the tour provider and the tour guide.

The tour was supposed to be an English guided tour of Mt Fuji. Our tour guide only informed us of the times we had to be back at the bus. When I inquired about an area, I was completely ignored. The restaurant we went to had poor reviews, the company perselecred the eggplant and mozzarella dish for me. When I informed the waiter that I don’t eat eggplant, he said that’s what the ordered for me and I couldn’t substituted for another meal. So, I had to buy myself a pizza and the restaurant changed me for the meal I already paid for. We never went on the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

This tour was a welcome break from our busy days in Tokyo. The bus was comfortable and cool even in the warm Japanese Summer. And the staff was amazing. Our tour guide, Anju, was both professional and welcoming as she guided us around the different mountain communities and provided us numerous recommendations on where to get good food and coffee, which there was plenty. And our drivers did an excellent job making the drive feel comfortable and safe for my daughter and I. The lunch we had during the middle of the trip (provided at a hotel contracted by the tour company) was a delicious 3 course Italian meal that was high level restaurant quality. And the various stops along the trip, gondola ride, and boat provided us great opportunities to take pictures of the beautiful scenery surrounding Mount Fuji. Overall, this tour is a bargain at the price they offer it at. Not only for an entire day of beauty on Mount Fuji, but really because of the kind and welcoming people running the tour. Thank you very much, Anju, for making our time in Japan so special.
