Awesome tour and experience

5.00Kazu was an excellent guide; he shared his knowledge of the areas we visited with humour, making it very engaging. He also helped us by giving recommendations for the rest of our trip, even of feeding to help us book other tours. We were lucky to get a great view of Mt Fuji in the morning and during lunch. Plus the return train ticket allowed us to be flexible and explore Odawara before heading back to Tokyo in our own time. Highly recommend this tour.
Must do day trip in Tokyo

5.00It is a great 1 day trip. Very relaxing experience. Mt Fuji was great. The cable car experience was amazing. The pretty ship cruise in Lake Ashi was relaxing ( a bit crowded). Yuri was our tour guide. She was amazing. Very understdable English commentary. She kept us engaged n entertained with lots of stories n interesting facts. Bullet trains experience was amazing n mind blowing... High value for money. Highly recommended for solo or families..
Efficient way to see these sites in a day but lots of bus time and a little boring

3.00This tour was fine. If you want to drive by Mt. Fuji and see the Hakone region and only have a day, this may be your best option and fairly economical. But I found it boring with a lot of time in the bus and the stops were short and rushed. I also don’t love the large group aspect. If I were to do this again and wanted to see this region I would probably book an overnight and do a small group tour. But as a last minute thing this was a fine activity.
No guarantee that you...

5.00No guarantee that you will see the peak of Mount Fuji but the experience of being on the volcano is once in a lifetime. The trip took us to activities that we would never have done independently. Great way to see parts of Japan with a very knowledgeable guide. Worth the money.
Tokyo day excursion
