Bus and Shinkansen day trip to Mt. Fuji and Hakone, with 5th Station views, Ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, and lunch options.
“A great day out with a range of activities. We opted for the included lunch. Great views of Mount Fuji if the weather is clear.”
Full-day Mt Fuji and Hakone from Tokyo with Mt Komagatake ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, drum show, and Shinkansen return.
“The bus ride to 5th station was smooth & safe. Our tour guide, Shige, was a wealth of information for our particular destinations as well as glimpses of life in Japan. Figured at the start that we won’t be seeing Mt. Fuji due to inclement weather, and it’s ok. All in all, the tour was a great start for us in Japan.”
Mt Fuji 5th station and Hakone cruise with ropeway views, English guide, buffet option, and a Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo.
“amazing trip... second time doing it.. Levin our guide was so funny and had great stories about all the areas we visited. the food in the Ninja Village was lovely; wish we had more tkme at all the locations but loved the cable car in Hakone and the boat (not the pirate boat) at the lake was lovely and got so close to the gate... def would recommend this again.”
Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Hakone cable car over volcano, Lake Ashi cruise, and Shinkansen return to Tokyo, guided all day.
“overall we enjoyed this day tour from Tokyo. unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for Mt Fuji, but it was still an enjoyable experience. most of the day consisted of transportation, but that's what was so relaxing about it the stops lasted about 20-45 minutes and went quick.”
Ride the Shinkansen to Kyoto for a tightly run afternoon tour, with top shrines, a statue-packed temple, and a hotel lunch.
“Seeing Kyoto. Traffic was horrible though. Would have liked starting earlier so we weren’t at the last shrine at 5pm.”
Mt. Fuji, Hakone Owakudani, Ropeway, and Lake Ashi cruise from Tokyo with coach Wi-Fi or bullet train return, lunch add-on option.
“This trip was a disappointment- we spent 8.30am till almost 1pm basically on a big bus stopping once or twice for not much more than a bathroom break and souvenir shop, then lunch at a very average onsen restaurant- very little insight or history from our guide. The last hour or two were better on the rope way cable car and ‘pirate ship’ on the lake - but I could have done those two things easily just taking the train from Tokyo. If you like spending a whole day on a big bus, then this tour is for you.”
