All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

We had a wonderful time on this tour, our tour guide mayumi was kind and giving details on the places we visited, we also had a safe trip.

Overall experience was great, we took a lot of pictures and mt fuji was so beautiful. In Lake kawaguchi we were amazed by the colorful leaves and beautiful scenery.

Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and relatives.

Thank you for this experience.

It was a superb trip. Everything went on as planned with right time pickup. The guide was excellent. All places were visited as per the brochure. Lunch was very good. OnlY the weather was very bad.

It was well planned and the places we visited were wonderful. Yusuke san, the guide was helpful and entertaining all the way. The only thing which was upsetting was that some of the visitors from other tour groups who joined in the Lake Kawaguchi Cruise threw their plastic wrappers into the lake for convenience :(
I hope there are stronger measures to stop this littering to help preserve the beautiful lake.

Despite me losing my wallet, I must still compliment the guide Ms Akiko, the bus captain and Mr Zhang a staff from their Osaka back office for trying to help me locate my lost wallet.

The service is simply outstanding. Despite the fact I didn’t recover my wallet, my family and I still really enjoyed the trip. Thank you...

Ken and Ishi made our day very special.  We appreciate their efforts very much and would highly recommend them for their knowledge and professionalism.
Ishi was a most excellent driver in heavy traffic.
Ken answered our questions about the tour sights, as well as many about Japanese culture. He also amused us with a Japanese lesson during the long drive. When weather prevented us from seeing Mt. Fuji, they substituted other sights to compensate. The Hoto restaurant they chose for lunch was also excellent. We could not have had better, more attentive guides.
We give them the highest recommendation.

The western lunch package is very nice. Three course meal and you can take photo outside of restaurant.

The tour was very well organized, meeting place and all instructions are clear, receptionists and tour guides spoke very good English. The activities are given enough time to enjoy and appreciate Mt Fuji from the 5th Station to the Ropeway and the Cruise. Lunch buffet was at a hotel near Fuji Q with a wide variety of food.

I read a lot of reviews complaining about not seeing Mt Fuji - it’s not the tour agency’s fault. Luckily it was very sunny and we saw Mt Fuji in all its glory.

The tour guide and driver are so nice and friendly, they made sure everyone had a great time. Not to mention the restaurant they took us for lunch has an epic My Fuji view!

We wished the boat cruise was longer down the river and the viewing at Mt. Fuji station 5 was longer. Restaurant food was really good, again we wished we had about 15 minutes longer to enjoy our meal and view. If the bus left an hour or two earlier from the starting point we would have had more time to enjoy the sites and not be so rushed.

Good experience. English speaking guide was informative

We traveled with a 2 year old baby and we were not provided with proper informations regarding baby related informations.
Dont take the rope tour we were just chucked in the cart like a sardine and were not able to see anything on the way up and down.
The tour guide were not friendly.
It was a rush at every stop.
The bus journey and bus driver was good.
With all said it was a worth it journey because Mount Fuji is just too beautiful to be missed.

Very friendly guide and perfectly planned trip for people who want to be taken to all important places. I think i would recommend it to the ones tired with walking for too long :)

I was very satisfied with this tour. Bus was modern and comfortable. Everything was very well organized and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend

I have doubts about Veltra since there are only a few reviews, I didn't know whether it's trusted or not. My tour was on Sunday and there was no phone number available on Sunday in case I have questions. However, I got an email with instructions and directions to the meeting point, and yes there they are! On-time and clear activity schedule. Recommended!

The trip was absolutely amazing!
First off the bus that is provided is very comfortable. It is very clean and a smooth ride.

Our guide, Yusuke, was very kind and informative. Constantly pointing out landmarks and giving tidbits as we were riding towards Mount Fuji. His English is good, so feel free to ask questions!

The first part of the trip, they took us very close to the summit of the mountain. It was an amazing view. The day we went, it was very clear to see Fuji. Gorgeous!

Afterwards we were brought to a French restaurant. The food was good. I'm personally not big on French cuisine, but both of us enjoyed it.

The ropeway is probably my favorite part of the trip. The view that it brings you was absolutely mind blowing. The mountain was full view along with the city.

The cruise was fun. We timed the cruise to coincide with the sunset. The sunset along with a clear view of the mountain is fantastic. It was about a 15 minute ride so theres plenty of opportunities to get some good pictures.

Finally, you are given a voucher for some soft serve ice cream. We both chose the lavender flavour, surprisingly delicious :)

We highly recommend this day trip, especially if you just want to see the mountain and don't plan on staying in the area longer than a day.

Thanks for the tourist guide that made a pleasant trip and all time was kind with us

Meeting point was easy to find and pick up was on time. Bus was comfortable. Staff Akito was friendly, though her English was not easy to understand but she was helpful. We had a short toilet break halfway. Weather was great that day, we got lucky. Stopped at the 5th Station for around 40 mins. Very cold, beware. 3 course lunch was nice. Cruise was short but nice. Same area was the ropeway ride which we spent an hour at the top waiting for the foggy weather to clear but it didn't. We got the ¥300 worth voucher, u can redeem either an ice cream or a souvenir. Left at 4.30pm and got to Shinjuku around 6.15pm.

We had a wonderful day out with our driver, Tuk and our local guide, Yuko. We saw a quick film of Fuji and the information centre then went to fifth station to visit the shrine and to admire a closer view of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. We then visited a local restaurant for delicious noodles and sake. We then continued to Arakurayama Sengen Park to take photos of Mount Fuji with the Pagoda and continued to enjoy the local markets and stalls and the Autumn Leaves Festival at Kawaguchiko. We were able to take phots of Mount Fuji from a variety of different locations and our day was well paced as we have young children (3, 6 and 11 years).
Our day was pleasant as our guide and driver were very knowledgeable, polite, friendly and accommodated our preferences. Highly recommend this tour if you like your own space and you’re travelling in a small group.

Overall this was a well run bus tour with our pickup from Shinjuku. Very comfortable bus departed around 9am and drove around 2 hrs before first activity of the day. While some of the stops felt a bit rushed, the upside is not only going half way up Mt Fuji to 5th station, but also including a few other fun activities.We were fortunate to have a clear day with just a bit of cloud, and got a great view & photos of Mt Fuji peak, which is not always possible due to weather conditions. Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village were pretty & interesting, and the lunch was an exceptional buffet, far better than I expected and absolutely worth the small extra charge. The Fuji 4D simulator ride at the theme park was unexpected and good fun. Personally I felt that the extra time required for the Lake Kawaguchi stop was not worth the effort, too quick and really just another pretty lake for a quick photo. I would recommend a separate trip to Lake Hakone area for this purpose.
Guide Guilia was very enthusiastic and informative, and while the trip was conducted in English, I noted that she spoke several other languages fluently.
The only issue I had with the day I chose, was that it was a public holiday, and the easy 2 hr morning trip took over 4 hrs on the return because of very heavy traffic. In fairness while this was totally beyond control of the tour company and I offer no blame at all to them, they actually managed to minimise a bad situation as the bus driver skilfully negotiated B roads back to Shinjuku and by avoiding the expressway likely achieved the 4 hr return instead of a 5-6 hr disaster. I would not recommend doing this day trip on a public holiday, but I would not hesitate to otherwise recommend this tour to friends travelling to Tokyo in the future.

Pick up was efficient but the time was an hour later than that advertised in the literature, Mount Fuji was great, lunch was fine then it rapidly deteriorated. The post lunch itinerary was changed due to volcanic activity at the advertised ropeway. The lake cruise was forgettable, it was overcast and wind, it was very poorly supervised by the guide who gave garbled instructions that we couldn’t understand The ropeway was left to last by which time it was getting dark and the wind was getting up so we gave it a miss and poodles around for an hour in the souvenir stalls.

The return was chaotic we wasted ages dropping off people returning to Tokyo by train then it was a crawl even though the congestion wasn’t bad. It took more than 3 hours to cover the 70 km from the ropeway to our hotel

Hicimos este tour los primeros días de Octubre y lamentablemente nos toco nublado y
No pudimos ver e Monte Fuji. La guía muy amable, pero si ya no puedes ver El Monte Fuji todo el tour pierde su encanto. No se confíen de las predicciones del tiempo!
El almuerzo buffet fue regular. Pudimos regresar en el
Tren bala pagando un adicional, tour muy caro sobretodo si te corres el riesgo que te toque día nublado

Perfect way to see the best of TOKYO in one day. The Odaiba cruise and inclusive lunch was a plus.

On the day after Tokyo's massive typhoon and large earthquake, Ken Takahashi met us at the Yokohama port to provide the day tour in Tokyo we had reserved, originally planned the day earlier. Ken took us to all the places we wanted to see, with a few of them off the regular tourist path, with Tuck, our driver. We were so pleased to see the usual places tourists want to see, as well as take us to a bamboo forest. My wife also wanted to find an artisanal fan, and Ken found an excellent shop with wide choices with a 5th generation owner, and he helped her purchase one with a stand. Ken also took us to a tea ceremony, and then a tempura lunch, the best tempura we've ever eaten. He has an excellent knowledge of history and of the city, and with his experience, and our interests, he curated an active and meaningful 8-hour day. After the day, he created an edited video of our day (taken with his Go-Pro camera) and promptly sent it to us along with a journal of the day. One of the things we found most thoughtful was the coordination of Tuck's dropping us off close to the places we wanted to see, and then magically Tuck picked us up at a very close location, to maximize our valuable time that day. Wonderful day with Ken, and proactive communication with Veltra (Taiji) when we all realized that the typhoon was going to hit Tokyo on exactly the day we had planned our tour. We were so grateful that our tour could be pushed back one day.

We had such an awesome time with this Mt. Fuji tour. The activities are well-organized, we enjoyed walking around the villages, taking photos with Ninja and beautiful Mt. Fuji almost every where we went to. The lunch was super delicious and since it was a buffet so our 4 kids enjoyed all their favorite food. Ami is such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, we loved the way she taught us how to make a small origami and I like her poems too. The price of the tour is higher than others but it is worth the money.

The tour to mount Fuji overall was great. Tour guide is very nice, scenery was beautiful and so much fresh air comparing to city. The sky was abit foggy but it cleared up near afternoon. The ropeway is very crowded, didnt get a good view but Kawaguchi lake cruise was relaxing and fun. Would love to go on more of these.

I went on the tour with my sister two days after the October typhoon. Due to a landslide caused by the typhoon, we had to take a detour, which resulted in additional travel time. Unfortunately, we were not able to travel up to the 5th station due to the change in schedule/timing. We were also not able to see Fuji-san due to the cloudy weather. But we understand that this is beyond the tour company's control. On the flip side, the tour guides were extremely friendly and tried to make up for cancelling the 5th station trip by providing some snacks, which were quite thoughtful. Overall, I like how the tour guides were organized and upfront about the change in schedule. They also incorporated some humour when interacting with us, which made us feel welcomed. The ice cream at the end of the tour was a nice touch to complete the experience (we recommend having the peach flavour!). I can imagine that the itinerary would be perfect if the weather was accommodating. We will definitely come back again, perhaps during spring time when Mt. Fuji is more visible.

Brought mom on this tour today! It was her first time in Tokyo, and I was quite worried how the tour would turn out given the weather forecast (rain!) and the reported closures of certain attractions caused by the recent typhoon. As it turned out, our worries were unfounded! While it was indeed raining as we were boarding the bus this morning, the weather started to clear as we head closer to Mt Fuji. The tour agency also made very good arrangements for us to have a great time. Coupled with the enthusiastic tour guide Jane, I would say our whole bus-load of people truly had an unforgettable day out! And guess what we found at Mt.Fuji? None other than Mt.Fuji!! I know this may not make sense, but you'd be surprised how many people went to Mt Fuji without seeing it...mainly due to weather issues. Well, we thought we wouldn't be able to catch it, but we did...snow-capped no less!

Really appreciate the quality of the tour, the seamless arrangements from one destination to another, and the professionalism show by the tour guide, and our bus driver. Couldn't have asked for more. Thumbs up!

A very well organised day trip to Mount Fuji, including lunch, lake cruise and cable car ride.
Fantastic experience, although we only had a brief view of Fuji San (you can't control the weather!!).
Lovely light lunch at a "French Themed" restaurant in the theme park at the base of Fuji.
20 minute lake cruise and a cable car ride, with cracking views of Mount Fuji (if weather plays ball!!), expertly guided by Hiro!!
Thoroughly recommend this trip.

The overall impression of the experience was great and everything was on time.
We're a couple and liked the most about the mountain and scenery nearby. However, it depends on the weather as well. We're a bit unfortunate because we could not see the top of the mountain as it was cloudy (indeed, we could not predict the weather accurately, because we booked earlier based on forecast and it supposed to be sunny). But, we had enough time to walk and explore at the 5th station. The staffs were all great and friendly: from the lady who welcomed us, the guide who speaks both japanese and english, and of course the driver. We expected to have a light lunch provided, but the trip included a proper course lunch which was great and delicious. Also, they have options for special dietry and you must make sure to let them know. We can advice future participants to book in advanced as the tour can easily get fully book, please state clearly if you have any special dietry for lunch, and enjoy your trips! Overall, it's highly recommended especially for those travelling with kids, couple, and old people. All the seighseeing, lunch, cruise, cable car, and return transport are included.

This trip was in general very good. It was easy to find the meeting spot and the person who was standing there waiting was very helpful and made sure that everyone got on the bus etc. The bus was very comfortable and when arriving at the fifth plateau it was unfortunately cloudy. However the bus driver stopped at a second stop that was not in the plan and there we were able to see the top. Very appreciated! The lake cruise and the ropeway ride was okay, would probably be more fun if it was sunny. The time at this stop was too long as well. In the end, everyone was standing around and waiting for the bus to go back to Tokyo so maybe reduce the time there during the off season. But in general, a very good 1-day trip that I would recommend.
