5.00Our tour guide Kayo was amazing and took extremely good care of us. Would highly recommend this tour. For tour operators - the time allocated at the lunch venue was very little. If you can increase that time a bit, will help us enjoy the lunch and the Japanese garden with its activities as well.
Great tour, boat on the lake was my favorite part!

5.00Our tour guide Momo was wonderful. Be prepared for a long bus ride, but it is very comfortable. The lunch was good. The cruise was my absolute favorite part! Being on the water in Lake Ashie was magical. Seeing Mount Fuji is not a guarantee as the clouds can cover the top of the mountain. But it is still worth going up to the top to see the shrines and be high up in the clouds. Overall, this was a great tour worth the price and a good way to travel solo or with family.
Day out to Mt Fuji

4.00We needed a day out of overwhelming Tokyo and picked the Mt Fuji tour. An early start, the bus left from the Love Sculpture Square at 740am. We took the train from our hotel crossing the city. The bus was full. Our guide Yui was amazing, with an incredible and bubbly personality. She answered any questions about Japan and the tour. She provided a basic geography and culture overview of Japan, as well as trying to teach us some of the very complex language. It was a lovely two hour ride to Mt Fuji and when we arrived we were driven to the fifth level. The weather was lovely as Tokyo that day was close to 90f and in the 70's at Mt Fuji. The views were astonishing even with some clouds moving in and out. We stayed for about 45 minutes and headed to lunch. Lunch was unfortunately quite lackluster and could have been way better. We then went on the cable car in Hakoni which was really cool and a weird river cruise. We then took the bullet train back to Tokyo. It was a really nice day out. The reason I didn't give stars was the lunch and the river cruise. Huge kudos to Yui and the bus driver who navigated the narrow winding toads so skillfully.

5.00My teenage son and I Absolutley loved this experience. There was enough sit and relax time in the bus, and enough out of the bus time. Our bus driver was excellent and safe. Yui was our tour guide and she was exceptional. She was so nice and pleasant, and fun and informative. Thanks so much for a great experience in Japan for first timers :)!!!
The boat in the picture is not the boat you ride on

3.00Firstly the guide was great, there was some fun stuff on the tour. The boat ride was great, but far too short, and everyone in the group saw the boats shown in the picture, but that is not the boat we went on, the one we went on was less impressive. To be honest we went on two mt fuji tours and this one seemed focused on an ok lunch and gift shops. I wouldnt recommend this tour but other enjoyed it so do your own research.
