We recently did a Mt. Fuji tour for our honeymoon. Our tour guide, Sawaki, was so knowledgeable, funny, and patient with every guest on the trip. He truly has a passion for giving people amazing experiences and he deserves every ounce of praise for making this trip so memorable! Although Mt. Fuji's peak was not visible on the day we chose, he made origami mountains so that people can "get pictures of the peak". 10/10 service from Sawaki!

The English spoken by the guide wasn't very good, and the explanations about the tours were poor. On the other hand, to tell us to buy ice creams and its all-you-can-eat menu in 40min to eat there we had explanations during 20min ...

Brewski, our tour guide, made this experience fun and also helped us learn more about Japanese culture and history. He was not only pleasant to interact with but communicated well with the guests and helped us move through the itinerary smoothly. I would give the tour itself 4 stars, though. They omitted one of the stops without notifying us in advance. They said "the itinerary changed" the morning of, which just meant they were not taking us to one of the sites. The time allocated for the stops where we can actually see Mount Fuji were not long enough and I felt rushed. However, would recommend this tour if all you want is to see Mount Fuji for an affordable price and come back to Tokyo at a reasonable time to enjoy the city.

Most of the locations were fabulous however the guides english wasn't great. Instructions were uncler or often indecisive about timing which made things confusing. He also rambled a lot with repetitive comments. It would have been nice to get some history and context on locations rather than hop off here and take photos (of a convenience store????). Had no idea why we'd stop to take photos of a convenience store.

The day we went we could not see Mount Fuji because of the weather, we recommend to check before and not to book so far in advance. Our guide did not speak English very well so it was difficult to understand and in the places she did not give us explanations, she just left us there and went to meet us at a meeting point a few minutes later.

May 2025Verified booking
This trip was an easy day excursion with lots of souvenir shop options. Our guide, Jack, was a helpful, attentive guide and was always making sure our group was on time. However, the trip itself felt quite long. 10 hours is a long day and about half of it is sitting on the bus. Jack told us that only 30% of the time can you partially see Mt. Fuji on a tour like this one. I wish I had known that detail prior to booking. That being said, it was disastrous weather the day we picked, full of rain and clouds, so we saw exactly nothing. Of course, we knew that was possible when booking a trip like this, it was just disappointing regardless. If possible, I recommend booking not so far in advance, so that you can look for a better day weather-wise. Ironically, the day before was lovely sunny weather. Not being able to see Mr. Fuji meant that the trip became a souvenir shopping extravaganza, which is great if that's what you're looking for. It is quite crowded, even on a bad weather day, so be sure to have cash on hand and try a black egg (delicious). I did like the Mt. Fuji water that you can drink straight from the source. It felt very special and unique. The tour was mostly self guided, so you hop off the bus and can explore until a designated time. Because the trip is such a long day and lunch is at 2 p.m., I recommend bringing a 7-11 snack with you. Overall, I think Jack did a good job keeping us going and I think, with the weather cooperating, this would be an extra nice experience for anyone looking to see Mt. Fuji. Just maybe buy a lottery ticket first!

The restaurant we went to was awful; a disappointing note on an overall good experience. It would have been better if we were advised of our options to purchase food at the stop after the restaurant, which appeared to be better quality and less expensive. Others on the trip also remarked on the poor quality of the food. Had we known, we would not have ordered it and would have waited.

we did find rhe guide in the morning but it was a very hectic experience with so many tour guides, all with yellow flags in the same place when we were not told anything beyond look for a yellow flag. the guide was good but she often would disappear quickly before we could follow her. i understand she had to buy the tickets, but it would have been helpful to have two tour guides so one could grab the tickets and another could round up the group. also the tour guide mentioned trying to contact me through what's up but there was no indication that we should download it before the trip. i would have also liked to spend more time in the little town than we did. otherwise the trip was overall good just a bit hectic and stressful. i would like to shoutout the guide as on the way back i had a bathroom emergency and she was quick in stopping to ensure i could use a bathroom.

Tom was very friendly and professional but the timeline of the whole experience was too fast paced and made me feel rushed and I didn't feel like I could fully enjoy the places we visited. I understand it's not Tom's fault but I would suggest to let whoever designed the tour to cut a couple of stops and allow more time to visit the other plscesy. Lake Ashi was very beautiful and Hakkai was absolutely stunning.

Was a great day. Weather was kind to us so we got a great view of Mt Fuji. Kazu was a great guide. He was very organised, attentive to everyone’s needs and kept everyone on time, in the right locations and up to date with the itinerary and instructions. The trip included all stops exactly as described and just enough time to see without lingering. If you only have a day, this tour fits a lot in given the distances you need to cover. Don't forget to take something warm. Was only 10 degrees at Mt Fuji and also cold and windy at the Ropeway and boat rides.

It was a great experience despite no sighting of Mt Fuji. The lunch & cruise was good. A bit of rush through at station 5 & the rope way with so many other tourists. The English speaking guide Kayo Chan was an excellent guide. She speaks good English, was helpful & gave relevant information of the tour & Japanses culture & etc.

Thank you very much for the whole organisation. I appreciated the fact that you contacted me by whatsapp one day before. We loved the stops and all the places we visited.

Laila, our guide, clearly wanted to make our trip to Mount Fuji something to remember. She was very well organised and communicative. When I felt car sick, she asked the driver and arranged for me to sit in the front. But from the description of the tour we expected to get some information about the area, as it was sold as a "guided tour", but we did not get that unfortunately. We were let out of the bus at the designated stops to explore for ourselves. Despite this, we had a really nice experience. The time to explore at the stops could have been a bit longer (maybe 1 hr 15 minutes instead of 1 hour), but we appreciated that we went back relatively early and got back in time.

It is a value for money experience, the guide was very good, the excursion includes multiple beautiful places to take pictures and appreciate the scenery. The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because the driver was driving a bit dangerous and the food was slightly cold. 100% recommended to have Damon Guo as a guide, very good guide with a friendly, patient and funny personality.

Pros: 1) Organized tour to the mountain and two lakes 2) Informative guide 3) Nice boat trip Cons: 1) The lunch was just terrible. When we arrived the food was already sitting on the table. I do not know for how long. But my fried chicken was hardly warm and it tasted horrible. I love any food in Japan but this was just bad.

This trip was an easy day excursion with lots of souvenir shop options. Our guide, Jack, was a helpful, attentive guide and was always making sure our group was on time.
However, the trip itself felt quite long. 10 hours is a long day and about half of it is sitting on the bus. Jack told us that only 30% of the time can you partially see Mt. Fuji on a tour like this one. I wish I had known that detail prior to booking. That being said, it was disastrous weather the day we picked, full of rain and clouds, so we saw exactly nothing. Of course, we knew that was possible when booking a trip like this, it was just disappointing regardless. If possible, I recommend booking not so far in advance, so that you can look for a better day weather-wise. Ironically, the day before was lovely sunny weather.
Not being able to see Mr. Fuji meant that the trip became a souvenir shopping extravaganza, which is great if that's what you're looking for. It is quite crowded, even on a bad weather day, so be sure to have cash on hand and try a black egg (delicious). I did like the Mt. Fuji water that you can drink straight from the source. It felt very special and unique.
The tour was mostly self guided, so you hop off the bus and can explore until a designated time. Because the trip is such a long day and lunch is at 2 p.m., I recommend bringing a 7-11 snack with you.
Overall, I think Jack did a good job keeping us going and I think, with the weather cooperating, this would be an extra nice experience for anyone looking to see Mt. Fuji. Just maybe buy a lottery ticket first!

Chow was a great tourguide. Explained everything properly and the whole tour was fun. Everything was great however the 2 hours outlet shopping was a lot.. Way too many people and it just seemed forced..

Very nice outing in complete safety, with a very friendly guide (Laner Jin) who explained the day very well. Plan to do the "Onsen" activity in the afternoon, a truly immersive Japanese experience!

I love the fact the tour guide we went with had last minute spaces available.
We had a choice of shopping or hot springs however that was only 2 hours. I would have liked 3 hours. The lunch was extra we had to pay. We had the unagi was disappointing. Bland.
Perhaps the ramen would have been better.

I loved the kachikachi ropeway and the matcha making experience.
The tour guide was very helpful and welcoming, and was great at explaining what was going to happen at every stop.
