We had a great time on this tour and despite a substantial amount of traffic we still managed to see a lot of great views of Fuji. Our guide could have communicated better about the itinerary and also give some additional information about the area. I still enjoyed the trip!

Trip to Mt. Fuji
The guide Mateo was informative, polite, very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I would highly highly recommend booking with this as we loved it! The driver was equally great.

Mt. Fuji day trip
The tour was well planned and executed. Pickup through Tourist Japan required some clarification to the exact spot, but was easy once I arrived, with the transport van arriving on time and all persons in the group present. Time to Mt. Fuji was about 90 minutes, stopping at a local spot at Lake Kawaguchi, with an ice cream shop with local flavors, a souvenir shop, and a wonderful, walkable garden to the lake's edge. Cloud cover obscures much of Mt. Fuji, but the clouds shifted during the trip to get a full view of he summit while in the area. We also visited Fujiyoshida, with the iconic view of its pagoda with Mt. Fuji in the background, had lunch at nice restaurant with my first experience eating Wagyu Beef, and ended the trip in Oshino Hakkai and the 8 sacred ponds. Everyone enjoyed the trip, with an easy activity level with the most strenuous trek up Fujiyoshida, allowing visitors to use either the switchback trail or steps to the observation deck. It was a nice break from the hectic pace of the city to see some of the natural areas surrounding Tokyo.

Thank you for this wonderfully detailed review! We're delighted our Mount Fuji day tour from Tokyo gave you such a relaxing break from the city, from local ice cream flavours and the gardens at Lake Kawaguchi to the iconic Chureito Pagoda view in Fujiyoshida, your first taste of Wagyu beef and the sacred ponds of Oshino Hakkai. We're especially glad the clouds shifted to reveal Mt Fuji's summit! Tourist Japan tours use central meeting points so every group can start on time, and we appreciate your note about the pickup spot, which we'll share with our team to make directions even clearer. Thank you for touring with Tourist Japan, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Recommendation!!! Please be sure to book, thanks…
The lovely Fuji is a nice, friendly, likable guide with a lot of heart and empathy. We had an interesting, outstanding tour, easy to understand, and every question was answered competently; even afterwards, there was an offer to be welcome to get in touch. Helps/supports with any uncertainties, a real special feature and not something you can take for granted. The excursion was unfortunately very rainy, but the lovely Fuji still carried us along with her good mood thanks to her sweet soul. Always attentively addressed all needs. Saw and experienced quite a bit. We had a lot of fun and felt completely comfortable. The surprise made us indescribably happy. Even when unpacking at home, I had to hold back tears at so much warmth. It was a great honor for us. An absolute recommendation! Fantastic day and an unforgettable time, simply dreamy. Made our already perfect trip to Japan even sweeter. We also thought it was great that the guide put extra thought into tips for his city. A thousand thanks for everything!

Stunning!
Wonderful day tour to several stunning sights. The ice cream with views of Mount Fuji was a highlight! Our tour guide, Sofia, was so friendly, patient and kind. Seeing the mountain is not a guarantee due to the weather, but the surrounding area is beautiful and well worth it!

Thank you for sharing your day with us! Ice cream with views of Mount Fuji is hard to beat, and we're so glad Sofia made the tour so friendly, patient and kind. You're absolutely right that Mt Fuji can be shy depending on the weather, which is why our Mount Fuji day tours are built around stunning surroundings that make the trip worthwhile in any conditions. Thank you for touring with Tourist Japan, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Terrible tour
Do not book this tour. Everything in the explanation was a lie. We had 3 stops that totaled 2 1/2 hours. Today is a holiday -Silver Week. There never should have been tours available on this day. We were informed the night before that we were leaving 1 hour early. Meet at 6:50 am. The operator lied and said they're was a typo in the description and when I complained, they later admitted that the time change was because of a national holiday. By the time they told us this, it was too late to cancel. We had a 4 hour drive to get to the 1st stop and at least 4 hours to get back to the meeting spot. So far we have been in this van 12 hours and we are not back at the meeting spot. The only highlight was the guide. Sofia was kind and knowledgeable. She was very sympathetic to the description not matching the tour at all. The 5th station is closed at this time of year. That was the only reason we booked this tour. That could be noted in the description. We enjoyed the brief stops and the weather was great. You do not go on the mountain or even near it. You are lucky if you see the mountain top in the distance due to weather and clouds. We were lucky enough to see it. We travel the world and this is the worst tour we have experienced. Do not book this tour!

Dear Brenda,
We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we’re sorry this tour didn’t meet your expectations. We apologise for the technical shortcomings on our side that meant you were notified of the Silver Week schedule change too late. Because of the public holiday, we started the tour an hour earlier to do our best to avoid the heavy traffic and other holiday related disruptions, but we understand that receiving this news the evening before didn’t give you a fair chance to plan around it. Regarding the conversation you mention, this didn’t take place with our company, so unfortunately we’re unable to confirm what was said.
We’re sorry the holiday traffic made for such a long day on the road, even with the earlier start. Thank you as well for your feedback about the 5th Station, which we’ve shared with our team so that seasonal closures are made clearer to guests before they book. Visibility of Mount Fuji is often limited by clouds and weather throughout the year, so we’re really glad you were lucky enough to see the summit on the day.
We’re so happy to hear Sofia looked after you so well. Her knowledge and kindness are the standard she brings to every one of her tours, and we’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to her.
We hope to welcome you back to Japan and give you the experience you were looking for.
Warm regards,
The Tourist Japan Team

Fuji is simply great, a must for Japan fans ^^
Spent a beautiful day in Japan today. Picked up on time at the meeting point. Sofia was our tour guide today: Italian heart meets Japan, super sweet and nice. Good recommendations for food ^^ nice tour, we had top weather, just a small tip: don't do this during Golden or Silver Week, then the trip takes considerably longer. But the view of Fuji is simply bombastic, you have to see it ^^ Many thanks to Sofia! Top, keep it up :-)

Disappointed. Don’t go to the restaurant the driver suggests
Pickup was very early due to bad weather, still we didn’t see mt Fuji due to the heavy rain. The tour should have been cancelled since the whole point is to see the mountain. We sat in the car most of the time and even at the stops we didn’t get much information on the spots. For lunch the driver took us to a place he suggested but it was average quality and very expensive and accepted cash only. We only saw tourists there. The driver himself didn’t eat there…. In general underwhelming experience. Only advisable if the weather is clear. And don’t trust your driver/tour leader if they suggest this restaurant: 八海櫻

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Mount Fuji tour.
Your tour fell during Silver Week, one of Japan's busiest holiday periods, when the drive from Tokyo to Fuji can take twice as long as usual. We moved the departure earlier to help you get ahead of the crowds and shared the new time with you in advance.
Mount Fuji is famously shy. Cloud cover keeps it hidden on many days of the year, and it can vanish even when the sky elsewhere looks clear. Because the weather around the mountain can turn within hours, we always give our guests the chance to catch it, but unfortunately the clouds didn't lift that day.
Our guides are handpicked local experts who know the Fuji area inside out and love sharing its stories, and we've passed your comments on to the team so every stop delivers that insight. Knowing the region so well, they're also happy to point guests toward local places to eat along the way.
When you reached out after the tour, we were glad to arrange a complimentary Sumo Experience in Kyoto for you, and we hope it added a memorable highlight to the rest of your trip.
We hope to welcome you back to Japan, and to Fuji on a clear day.
