    We were so lucky to experience Mt. Fuji with a snow cap and all the fall colors. It was a great day out!

    Great experience, it was well put together and informative, really easy to navigate. Tour guide Koji did an excellent job and would book again simply based on his knowledge and expertise.

  • Not a tour just a coach ride and overridden view of Mount Fuji

    2.00

    The first place ie the temple to view Mount Fuji was overridden and has tourist trap food. This really didn't help for energy or anything for the rest of the day. The tour to the craft place was a gift shop. The village was not bad but it just wasn't authentic although the people there seem honest and they actually had some interesting things to look at. I think the walk by the lake was the best. If you're going to have tourists spend almost a day doing a tour make sure it's actually good and that it's a tour.

  • Nice tour but depends a lot on the weather and traffic

    The pickup location and information provided beforehand were detailed and great. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of time at the single stops. If you are not a fast walker you might not be able to walk to the top to the pagoda or see everything at each stop. We spend a lot of time on the bus due to traffic which was inconvenient (2,5 hours getting there; more than 3 hours on the way back). The tour itself is nice but only worth the time if the weather is great. Check the weather forecast beforehand! The guide and drivers were very friendly and the bus was comfortable :)

  • Disappointing Tour — Didn’t Deliver What Was Promised

    Angelica S,

    Nov 10, 2025

    - Review from Viator

    1.00

    I chose this tour exclusively because it included viewing the autumn leaves, but the trip was simply shortened because it was a holiday and there would be traffic on the way back. If I had known it wouldn’t be completed as planned, I would have chosen another one. I don’t recommend it to anyone — there’s nothing special about it, and it doesn’t deliver what’s promised. To make matters worse, the return trip took four hours in traffic without even a stop for the restroom. It was a terrible choice. Choose another tour that offers options like a lake cruise or even a return by train — much better.

  • Good - Not great

    Nice tour but don’t expect too much information and involvement with your host. Very basic tour to what I’m use to. Our host greeted us told us where we were going and what time we had to be back. That’s basically all she did. I have gone with other aviator tours and she had given no history or details of places we were passing at all. Disappointed but the places we went to were spectacular.

  • Great experience, well worth it

    Great spots, good lunch (wagyu beef). I feel like we had enough time at each spot. Mount Fuji had some clouds around it, but it was still nice.

    Nice day trip but not much of explanations by the guide. It felt more like transportation then a guided tour

    Good fortune delivered perfect weather and a 4 fo 4 location view of Mt Fuji. Our guide Koji was outstanding. A very well prepared and efficient group manager. Offered 10 star consideration toward 2 plus 70’s challenged by some terrains. The lunch was a fun and delightful experience. Highly recommend this option to all our fellow travellers.
