All Reviews for Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tours

the tour was great and the lunch as well. its a must experience here in Japan

We had an excellent day tour to Mt Fuji and Hakone. Our tour guide Yoko San was informative and interesting and our skilled bus driver made the journey very smooth. It was a full day but felt very well paced. Everything ran on time and we saw so much - beautiful scenery and perfect conditions for viewing My Fuji and surrounds. We would highly recommend this tour.

Tour Guide is great

Tour was well organised but our stop points could have been much longer. The stop at Mt Hakone was very short especially for those who took the later gondola. By the time we reached the top, we had only barely 10 minutes to explore before the next scheduled gondola, as the bus will be leaving by then. It will also be good to cater halal lunch instead of vegetarian lunch for Muslim tourists. Thanks!

Tour guide was really animated and helpful.

Awesome experience and what an awesome guide we had (Mayumi). The tour was smooth from bus transfer to Mt Fuji etc till we rode back to our hotel via Shinkansen. Won't hesitate to book any tour someday with City Discovery.

Mt. Fuji and Hakone tour is great experience in Japan. Super enjoy. The tour guide is knowledgeable to her job interesting no dull moment when we're the way to mt. fuji. The food is too simple but its ok, but the nature that you see can full your eyes wow!!! superb!!!!. Make it sure you bring along your powerbank so you will not miss all the pictures and videos that you want. The only think that we do not want in all our tour is the service way back to our hotel... We are all tired for the whole day tour but we have to go back on our own to our hotel... Should you have a pick up and transfer back to hotel for the comfort of the guest? its a suggestion. The food and transpo is much expensive than other countries. Tokyo Station is much complicated thou there are signages...But overall thanks to City Discovery..we really enjoy the tour...

Loved the tour and the way it was organized. The guide was wonderful and kept us entertained all through out. The lunch was great, and finally the breathtaking views of Mt fuji. We couldnt make it to the 5th station because of the snowfall a few days back, but it didnt dampen the tour at all.

We were lucky on the day we visited. Sky was clear and we were able to see Mount Fuji and also visited the Owakudani Valley (and eat the Black Egg!). Our tour guide, Kana-san speaks good English and clear. She also gave us alot of visitor information on Japan. We did not make any lunch reservation therefore we ordered food from the hotel on that day itself - not too pricey, for about 1300yen and you will get a quite decent bowl of Hot Udon with tempura.
Worth going for this tour!

Unfortunately with the traffic, touring by Coach was not a good idea as we spent most our time travelling. May be going by bullet train and meet at the station would have been better, Drivers and guide were very nice.

Our trip started with going to Gotemba outlet first due to a change in the schedule. It was a blessing in disguise as we got to view and appreciate a "very shy" but beautiful Mt Fuji for about 1hr at Gotemba before clouds & visibility obscured her from being viewed. Also, we got to see the sulphur vents blowing steam at Hakone which was also special as it doesn't always happen. The all you can eat yakiniku lunch was a real treat too. So a very fun daytrip out of the city

The tour is good. We have Aikko as our tour guide, and she was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent. But the time to do things is limited. We had only 45 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.
Overall the tour is good, the weather is good, the variety of traditional Japanese lunch is good. I will be going to Mount Fuji again in winter, hope we can spent more time there.

We were lucky to have seen Mt. Fuji without the clouds blocking it. It was gorgeous. We had Tomoko-san as our English speaking guide. She was very nice and accommodating. She even escorted us to the train station going back to the hotel. Overall the tour was really worth it.

The tour was great and Japanese lunch provided was yummy too! Special commendation to our guide, Nana-san! She was well-prepared and detailed. She brought samples of local produce to show us, and all her instructions for meeting locations were illustrated with drawings! She was very professional and made sure we know her guests knew their way back to their hotels after her tour. She came to each of us personally with handwritten instructions which JR line and train to board. We completely enjoyed ourselves!

Since we only had 5 days to explore Japan, we needed to plan our itinerary well. Thankfully, this tour brought us to many amazing places in just one day.

Although mostly cloudy during fall, we were able to sneak a great view of Mt. Fuji at the 5th station. The bus ride was also very smooth, and our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and informative. The tour is also great for elderly since not much walking/trekking is involved.

The only downside is the limited time to do things. We had only 30 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.

But considering the locations we were able to visit in a day, I would say it was worth it. We arrived back in Tokyo around past 6 pm giving us enough time to enjoy dinner.f

Tour worth doing. The guide was very friendly and informative. The bullet train ride was a great way to finish the tour.

Great day. Had a great guide who gave us lots of interesting info on Japan and it's people on the way. Kept with us right to theto the end

We loved the tour. It was designed well and really enjoyed the view from 5th station. It was foggy but cleared up for a while to enjoy the view. I would definitely recommend the tour while in Tokyo. The pick up and drop off was great and lunch was great as well. Enjoyed !

It was great - the food, the guide, the trip, everything was really good.
So why not 5 stars you might ask? - well, there has to be room for improvement, the bus could be nicer (thats a queation of price i understand that), but why do i still need to print my confirmation, and why do i have to call to confirm when i have paid in full and so on. It's actually quite difficult to call, the number dont work from a mobile phone - du you think a tourist travel with a printer and land line....... off course most hotels offer that, but it's a hassle you can't do everything online, or through the app. But please understand that it is a very very small complaint - the trip was really really good, and the price was low.

The meal was nice and a good variety of Japanese foods.

Convenient and well organized tour to Mt. Fuji and Hakone from Tokyo.
Recommended for first timers!

Our guide's name is Tomoko who speaks perfect English. She educated us on Japanese culture, how to count in Japanese, and much, much more. You need to have more guides like her, as she is absolutely WONDERFUL.

Definitely go to this tour when it is a nice sunny day! We went when it was foggy and cloudy so we did not see Mount Fuji at all. The lunch menu isnt that great as the tour brings you to one hotel restaurant. Average price per meal was at least 12,000 YEN. I would suggest to eat at the first pit stop restaurant that is attached to the convenient store. Me and my BF had a ramen bowl that was pretty good for only 500 YEN! We also ate at another restaurant at the Mount Fuji pit stop. That ramen bowl was pretty descent as well! About 700 YEN. Also when the tour is over, I would highly suggest riding the bullet train back since it only takes about 30-40 minutes to get back to Tokyo compared to the bus ride that takes about 2 and half hours. Overall, the tour was okay and I was disappointed that we did not see Mount Fuji and this tour lasted 8+ hours.

Even on a rainy day it was a good trip, as nobody is responsible for the weather! The guide (Yoko) was very optimistic and managed to keep us hopeful all along the journey. She accompanied us everywhere and gave good advice and explanations.
Unfortunately the meal was very basic and a disappointment for me. I had made the same trip some years ago and the choice of the restaurant and the lunch had been much better.

Convenient bus and Shinkansen tour to visit both Mt Fuji and Hakone in a day from Tokyo. Many people but worth it. Convenient pick up from hotel.

Excellent tour to visit both Mt Fuji and Hakone in the day from Tokyo. Convenient and fun. Easy pick up from hotel. Highly recommended!

It was raining and traffic was bad during our visit. We did not see Mt. Fuji and we had to skip the cable car ride. I think we should have skipped the 5th station so we could've taken the cable instead. Although the food was delicious, I had hoped the food they prepared for us was Japanese and not Western food. Make sure to check the weather before booking this trip.

The tour was awesome. It was very well organized and we manage to see and do many things within a day. I would say that the cost of the tour is very cheap considering that there are alot of activities within it. The food was splendid and the tour guide was very helpful. Just love it !

Very much on time and tour guide was nice. Great experience and good experience

If you are a gambler go in summer as you have to be very lucky to see Mt Fuji because of mist and clouds. Our would not tell us how many days you could see Mt Fugi in summer she would not say but when one goes up the cable car the recorded message says you cannot see the mountain due to cloud! We were very lucky to see the peak for a few minutes from station 5. Our daughter went the week before and saw nothing. Best to go other times of year. Cable car ride was not very good as no view because of the cloud and the temple at the top was closed. Boat trip and lunch were both good. Advise catching train home as only 30-40 minutes compared to several hours that our daughter suffered on the coach because of bad traffic. Catching the bullet train was an experience in itself. Shima, our guide was good.
