My wife & I took this tour, and were not disappointed. Great weather allowed our group to reach the 5th Station (highest) lot on Mt Fuji. Our guide, Kazu, was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

The experience was very good. There was a 2 hour coach trip to the Mt Fuji 5th station which provided incredible views. The tour guide was excellent throughout and the boat across the lake was very pleasant. Unfortunately the queue for the ropeway was too long and we were unable to experience this part of the tour. Instead we did some sake tasting which was great fun and I think should be included in the tour as standard.

The day started like any other excursion, but it was well organized. The bus was comfortable — which was a good thing, since you spend most of the day in it. The excursion itself has a lot of potential, but unfortunately that’s about it. Our guide, Levi, was a bit of a lame jokester who talked a lot about his Filipino background, was very loud, and constantly needed to be the center of attention. You know beforehand that you’ll be spending a lot of time on the bus, but we didn’t expect everything to be so rushed — “make it quick” seemed to be the motto of the day. Visit to Mt. Fuji with explanations given on the bus: 40 minutes. Lunch at a Ninja restaurant with a Japanese garden: 1 hour — the garden and the ninjas added no real value. Cable car: 30 minutes waiting to go up, exactly 9 minutes to take photos (“make it quick”), and another 30 minutes waiting to go down. Then 20 minutes waiting to check in for a 20-minute boat ride. At 4:15 p.m. they drop you off at the station — and that’s it.

Trip is very much enthusiastic We saw Mt.Fuji very clear. Clouds were moving some time clear view and some time covered. Our Tour guide Miss Aya was excellent. She was giving us many information of local, history, food and many interesting informations regarding Japan.

The tour was amazing to experience. Kazu was a great tour guide for us as we explored Mt. Fuji and Hakone. An all day trip with plenty of time to take pictures. At this time of year it might be a little chilly once the sun goes down but it was worth it. If you have the time and want to see Mt.Fuji, this is the tour to take. I greatly appreciated the ride!
