5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this tour that we took on 27th Aug 2025, from the get go the three lovely ladies which included the coach driver were just fantastic and fun, this was a day packed full of experiences. We were lucky to catch Mt Fuji unveiled while at the 5th Station and also from some points while driving, the optional lunch was traditional and delicious, the rope way to the top of Mt Hakone and down to Lake Ashi was fun as was the pirate boat, topped off with optional Bullet Train ride back into Tokyo, we were also supplied with a ticket for a connecting train back to Shinjuku or in our case Shibuya which was on the same line. This was a great value tour that we highly recommend.

1.00My wife and I were very disappointed with our experience, which felt like a waste of a full day that could have been spent doing something else. The planning was poor, and there was a lack of time management. We left the meeting place 15 minutes late and then hit traffic, which should have been anticipated. Mount Fuji was obscured by clouds, which was expected given the weather. I would skip lunch because they ran out of food, and the food lacked flavor. By the time they refilled some of the chafing dishes, they were rushing us out to board the bus. Our guide was very sweet, but her English was too limited for her role as an English-speaking guide. We consistently had less time at each stop than we expected, and we didn’t even stop at the Hakone Ropeway. We should have been given the option to choose between the lake or the ropeway. The boat was so crowded that most of our group would have preferred to go on the ropeway instead. While our guide was kind and apologetic—she must have said sorry for the traffic a hundred times—I believe they should have factored in the possibility of traffic, especially since it was a weekday. I should have listened to my niece, who told me that when she went in May, it was a wasted day.
A Full Day!!

5.00This experience was very easy to find unlike others we have attended. The tour guide was very knowledgeable although sometimes during the journey she was difficult to hear fully. The option we chose with the lunch included (which was very good) meant it was a jam packed day of travelling and visiting the sites. The ropeway was a wonderful edition due to the great views and photos although the sulphur was particularly pungent..🤣
