Itinerary
At 2300 meters above sea level, Fuji 5th Station offers a panorama of the Fuji Five Lakes area below, as well as a breathtaking view of cloud sea. There is also Komitake Shrine and quite a few shops snacks or souvenirs. From late December to mid-March, you can experience snow sledding at the 2nd station of Mt. Fuji (we will not go to the 5th station).
As the flagship store in Japan, Gotemba Premier Outlet is perfectly located where World Culture Heritage Mt. Fuji could be seen from a real close distance. It also has the largest number of stores among Japan’s outlets. ・If the schedule is delayed by more than an hour due to traffic congestion, the Gotemba Outlet may be cut off.
Visit Owakudani with the scene of rising volcanic gas containing hydrogen sulfide! Will you try the famous black egg here? Take a ropeway ride to overview the valley up in the high!
Last stop of this tour will be taking Pirate Ship on Lake Ashi. Lake Ashinoko was formed up in the caldera of Hakone volcanoes about 3000 years ago, and total circumference is about 20 kilometers. The gorgeous torii, green trees by lakeside or the reflection on the lake will be spot on during your “pirate excursion”.

We waited in the exact area they told us to meet at There was a picture of where to stand and everything Stood there for 40 minutes in the freezing weather and no one ever came
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had. We are very sorry that you waited at the designated meeting point in the freezing weather and were unable to meet our staff. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. As a result, we have issued a full refund for your booking. We truly regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback, which will help us improve our service in the future.
This was a fantastic day out!! Communication in advance was excellent; a day change was easily accomplished. The meeting at the bus in the morning was effortless. Our tour guide, Rena, was first class; her English was great, she was enthusiastic and always full of energy and useful information. She was even thoughtful enough to warn the group that motor vehicles come from a different direction than many of us are used to. The bus driver was extremely safe and the ride was first class. The day’s activities were extremely well managed. The one-way boat trip and one-way cable car (rope) trip were such a good idea, with the bus meeting us at both destinations. We were blessed with wonderful weather and great views. This day trip was well worth the very reasonable expense and I would highly recommend it for international visitors to Tokyo.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a great day with Rena and our driver. Your kind words truly encourage us. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan.

Amazing day trip - managed to see Mt Fuji as well! Our guide, Ayumi, was great, very cheerful and friendly. Definitely recommend.
It seems that you were satisfied. I'm glad. There are still many famous tourist spots in Japan, so please come again. Thank you.
i had missed my original scheduled trip and contacted Viator. They were responsive, flexible and competent. I received a replacement trip two days later and Yasu-san and Yamada-san (guide and driver) were glad to see and receive me. Yasu-san was a competent guide delivering discipline, knowledge and good humour simultaneously. Yamada-san drove smoothly and beautifully. The weather held. The schedule was well-paced. All in, a great day was had by all. Would I sign up again? Of course! Keep up the good work and keep on trekkin'.
Hello! Thank you for joining the tour and sharing your experience! As the host company, we are very happy that you were very satisfied with the tour.
Great experience in fantastic weather - Mt. Fuji super visible both on the mountain at 2,200 meters altitude and from a distance. Kenji San is a super friendly and informative tour guide
Ich freue mich, dass Sie zufrieden waren. Es scheint ein schöner Jahrestag gewesen zu sein. Ich hoffe, ich bekomme bald wieder eine Gelegenheit dazu. Danke.
Amazing experience!! The tour guide was really helpful and polite. Very knowledgeable about the tour. Made me back on time when I used to go for school tours. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The pirate ship was the best did not expect that 🤩. Thanks for making our 5th Anniversary so special 😊
I'm glad that you were satisfied. It seems like it was a good anniversary. I hope to have another opportunity. Thank you.
Despite the fact that we could not see Mount Fuji due to bad weather , the ride that our guide Seiko offered us amused us
Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Japan and please return again in the future. We will be more than happy to assist you again in any way we can. Kind Regards
Cloudy day so didn’t see Mt Fuji in all her glory but can’t help the weather unfortunately. We also didn’t do the ropeway or pirate ship as “too windy” which were the reasons why we chose this tour option. Tour guide was ok nice enough and good English. Basically the trip ended up being a bus ride to souvenir and outlet shops - we did get a voucher though! A bit disappointing and would have been nice to get a heads up re the weather and possibility of not seeing Mt Fuji and option to reschedule due to weather. Would be a great tour if conditions were perfect I guess!
The bad weather had a major impact on this tour, and we are very sorry that you were not satisfied. We hope to participate again next time if there is an opportunity.
The sights visited and activities included where all good, however the guide’s English was poor and he gave very little to no information/explanations. Also the sound system on the coach was not working properly so what little information he gave could not be heard! The lunch boxes had not been refrigerated so were warm and the food was starting to sweat so we felt it was safest to not eat it, which resulted in us having to spend all our time at the outlet mall getting lunch - which actually was delicious, would recommend the Italian there!
Thank you for your valuable feedback. Approximately 30,000 people participate in this tour every year, and it is conducted safely. We will continue to take great care in operating the tour.
