I have taken this tour twice already, the first time I went alone and the second time with family. It was wonderful both times. The first time I went at the end of November and the second time end of September. I think the better time of the year is closer to the winter months because you can see Mt. Fuji capped in snow and it is more magical than without snow. I will post photos of both seasons to see the difference.

My husband and I visited Japan the last week of April and we had a great time on our tour. We where picked up/dropped off on time and our tour guides were very professional. We only saw a peak of Mt Fuji since it got really cloudy when we got to the top of the mountain. Once we got up there we saw some snow, rain, really heavy fog, and hail it was really fun. The view of lake Ashi from the top of Hakone was spectacular, and i enjoyed our ride back on the bullet train. I highly recommend this tour, you get your monies worth!

Yokiko was such a fun guide!! She shared so much about the Japanese culture with us on our ride out to Mt. Fuji. We definitely felt that this tour was the best way to see Mt. Fuji!

Exceptional. Trust me when I say going on this tour is easier than doing it yourself. Yes, it's pricey, but it is worth it and more. Hiro-san, our guide, was polite, funny and friendly. The mountain speaks for itself. The bus is huge and comfortable with great air con, and the trip itself was hassle free. Lunch was yummy, and we got to go up in a cable cart to see Mt Fuji from a great view. Elderly people might struggle with some of the walks, but personally I can see any age doing this tour.

The information we learned on this day tour was excellent. We don't usually book group day tours, but we were pleasantly surprised with the professionalism and personality of our tour guide. Unfortunately, I neglected to note her name when she gave it to us at the beginning of the tour, otherwise, I would give her personal kudos for her service. I sent a request through Viator asking the tour service for her name but haven't received a reply. I am posting a picture of her in the event any other reviewer may identify her. It was a dreary, rainy day, from the time we left Tokyo all the way to Mt. Fuji. Apparently, it had snowed on top of the mountain on the day we had scheduled the tour, so although we got to Station 5, we never saw the summit. It was the same story for Hakone National Park and Mt. Komagatake. We took the gondola to the top, but thick fog and clouds kept us from seeing any of the surrounding views. If the guide hadn't been so good, the day would have been a complete washout. She was great! She even walked us to the gate for our return on the Shinkansen bullet train to Tokyo to make sure we got an earlier departure. Other than the weather, which was uncontrollable, I'd give the tour five stars.

The day we traveled to go see Mt. Fuji, we were unable to see Mt. Fuji due to heavy rain. BUT service was excellent. Food was delicious and riding the boat in Lake Ashi was memorable.

Our tour guide, Amy, was AMAZING! Knowledgeable, super friendly, helpful, entertaining, and her English was superb. Even though it was cloudy and rainy on the day we went, Amy managed to make the trip worth every minute. The tour locations and timing was ideal. Just wish it had been a beautiful sunny day in order to enjoy the beauty of Japan even more.

Amazing trip. Lake Ashi and the bullet train were spectacular sights. _br/_ Long day but worth the trip.
Review by: sallykerr, May 2018
This trip was great. Travelling with two kids, it made our visit to Mt Fuji easy and comfortable. We were very fortunate to get clear skies and great views of Mt Fuji. There was some snow at the first stop which was a highlight for my kids who had never played in snow before. The lunch was excellent. Definitely bring warm clothes.

A Must Do when in Tokyo. Remember to wear warm clothes to MT Fuji and take heaps of photos. We took a photo from the top of Lake Ashi gondola looking back towards Mt Fuji which gave a great perspective.

Check the weather forecast before booking This day-trip itinerary is very subjective to the weather conditions on that particular day. While some of you will get lucky like me and get gorgeous views of Mt. Fuji, there is a good chance 50 I'd say that it's cloudy and you don't have a delightful experience - something completely out of control of the organising company. It's recommended that you check the weather forecasts and go on as bright/sunny a day as possible.
Review by: tonyandperri, April 2018
The best parts of this tour were the tour guide, the short cruise, and the meal. Per the description, enjoy time to take in views over Lake Ashi and Mt Fuji you can also take a short stroll along one of the walking trails at the mountain top this never happened. We were VERY rushed, and one of the main points for us was being able to stroll along the walking trails at the top of the mountain. If you're looking for a lazy day, and have kids/older people that don't want to do much walking, in your group, then this is the tour for you. If you're looking for adventure and want to explore I don't recommend this tour.
