Fun and easy day trip

Paige_S, May 2026
Our tour guide Juju was awesome! She has been in Japan for many years and had a lot of interesting factoids to share with us. We had an easy time getting everywhere via bus. We unfortunately hit some traffic on the way back, so I don’t recommend having dinner plans after this trip, but we got to eat so many snacks and strawberries that we weren’t hungry even at 7:30 when we got back. The ability to see Mt Fuji is very weather-dependent! We got lucky and had a PERFECT view everywhere we went! Highly recommend this trip if the weather is good (wear sunscreen) and I think I still would have had fun even if Fuji-san was shy. :)

Mount Fuji with fall colors

B_G, Nov 2025
Alex is a great tour guide. Enjoy the view of Mount Fuji. Great weather in mid-November. Grape picking allowed to try many different varieties of grapes. Lot of great fall colors, very vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red.

Mount Fuji was far better and more impressive than expected

Elvin_A, Jun 2025
Our guide for this tour was Yuko, and she did a great job. Mount Fuji was far better and more impressive than expected. The breathtaking view from the top of a mountain in front of Mount Fuji, which you reach by cable car, is truly unforgettable. Then, we went to a beautiful garden, where you can take amazing pictures with Mount Fuji in the background. Don't forget to make time to eat lavender and blue flower ice cream in that spot! We had a traditional lunch from that region (I've forgotten the name of the dish), which was so good. You'll also have time to get goodies made from the many fruits harvested in that region. Before we headed back to Tokyo, we stopped to pick and eat cherries—what a better way to finish the day! They were very tasty and fresh. The owners of the farm were so nice and welcoming to us; they showed us and helped us pick the best fruits from the trees. We had a great day.

relaxing and easy experience

Grace_A, Jun 2025
Betty is fluent in English and Mandarin, and went the extra mile to make origamis and teach some young passengers how to fold cranes. Lunch is delicious and fulfilling. Cherries did not taste special but it is not a difficult or bad experience. The trees are filled with cherries, easy to pick. Driver was very kind and made sure to greet each of us when we alight and board the bus. Overall I'm pleased with Betty and the driver's service.

I appreciate the...

Alexus_B, Apr 2025
I appreciate the experience but our guide Umar/Amar was not personable. Rushed the entire group the entire time and made the event unenjoyable. I felt bad for the group who was struggling to keep up with their elderly family member. Honestly may be easier to take the train and do all the events on your own. Guide also never asked about food allergies prior to the lunch, guide also told us it was buffet style/ all you can eat & was not. My sister is allergic to pork and had difficulty getting another meal.

Mt Fuji trip

Brian_I, Feb 2025
Be careful when booking this during the winter. The ropeline was closed due to high winds and the road to the Mt Fuji stations was closed due to icy roads. The park has a great view and the strawberry picking was also great. Mieko was great and was able to find us some other activities in the area, so we weren’t just sitting around.

Funfilled Day!

MARLA_K, Nov 2024
1. We enjoyed picking and eating the grapes. 2. The lunch was fabulous - good variety and everything tasted great! 3. Good views of Mt. Fuji - just very cold. 4. Ropeway ride was really great! 5. Tour guide was friendly and helpful.

Fun tour, lots of great photos, memorable spots

Joyce_L, Oct 2024
I really enjoyed this tour! Perfect for my full day off. It was raining but I still had a great time. The tour guide, Edward, was friendly and energetic. I met some nice people on the bus as well. Many of the guests are Chinese speakers so it's a bilingual tour. We had delicious grapes at the farm, yummy udon on a cold day, and saw great views. I like tours because you don't need to make any plans and you go to multiple places and end up with lots of photos in one day.

My Fuji tour

Patrick_N, Oct 2024
Our guide Peter was very good. Always willing to assist any. Very patient and shared interesting information.

Highly recommend

Leah_H, Sept 2024
The tour was wonderful. We missed a location because of traffic and we had to stay on schedule, but the tour operator was very accommodating. Mt. Fu ji , the surrounding gardens and the fruit picking was a great experience. Tom was very knowledgeable...and funny!

Nice tour but...

Karen_L, Aug 2024
The tour itself was fine, however there were other factors making our time less enjoyable. One was traffic. Since we were stuck in traffic for so long, we had to skip the Mt. Fuji 5th station stop for which we were disappointed. Also, we didn't get back to Shinjuku until 9 pm. Second was the heat. We had to wait in line in the sun for over 30 minutes for the Ropeway...and didn't get to see Mt. Fuji because of the clouds. Otherwise, the tour was fine. Both our tour guide and bus driver were nice. We enjoyed our grape picking, lunch was ok, and Mt. Fuji was beautiful from the Oishi Park. I would do the tour again but with the train from Shinjuku and not the bus.

Response from Host, Sept 2024

Hi Karen, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you found the tour itself enjoyable and appreciated the efforts of our tour guide and bus driver. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the traffic and the heat, which unfortunately led to skipping the Mt. Fuji 5th station stop and a late return to Shinjuku. We understand your disappointment and will take your feedback into consideration to improve our scheduling and logistics. We are pleased that you enjoyed the grape picking, lunch, and the beautiful views of Mt. Fuji from Oishi Park. We hope to welcome you again on a future tour for a more comfortable experience. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing our tour.

Great experience!

Angeles_R, Jul 2024
It was a great trip! The sightseeing spots and activities were amazing. The tour guide was very nice and he had a lot of fun facts to share. The food was really good too and quite filling. Overall a very pleasant experience! Highly recommend.

Not worth it.

Emily_K, Jun 2024
It was a cloudy day so views of mt. Fuji were limited. Our guide, Shin, was unenthusiastic and taught us very little about Mt. Fuji and the area. He talked way more about souvenirs and ice cream. It felt like we were rushed at our stops and yet got back late to Tokyo. The cherry picking was boring and a stop I wish I didn’t have on this trip. Overall, I would not recommend this trip to anyone.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Wonderful Fuji plus trip

Christie_V, Jun 2024
Great trip! Our guide Peter was wonderful. Loved it all and well worth the price! The cherries were so good and the farmers were so nice. While it was a cloudy day once we got to the viewing spot, we were able to see Fuji perfectly!

Great guide.

Lauren_M, Apr 2024
Fantastic experience with our tour guide! Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the trip truly memorable. They expertly navigated us through each destination. The fruit picking was fun. It was a shame about the dull weather which meant we couldn't visibly see Mt Fuli, but it was so beautiful and amazing none the less. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Mount Fuji with Viator

Santanu_S, Apr 2024
The trip had a good route around Mount Fuji but the tour guide spoilt the experience. He had no sense of time, was 2 hour late to complete the tour, at least one our attributed to his lack of ability to convey tour participants to be back on time. His english was broken, knowledge limited. Food in lunch was low quality (except for the strawberries). Overall a poor experience.

Rainy day

Samantha_E, Mar 2024
It was raining the whole time, but we still had fun on the tram and in the village shopping. Got some good stuff too.

Wonderful time

Dalton_A, Mar 2024
The view of Mt. Fuji was breathtaking. Our guide was incredibly fun and friendly. I would absolutely suggest this to others.

Not to be missed

Katrine_H, Jan 2024
I loved all of this trip. From the scenic cable car up to the spectacular view point of Mt Fuji to the Japanese lunch, to the strawberry picking, then the view of the mountain from the lake... there were another 2 stops which i was a bit too tired to enjoy. This was an amazing tour well worth taking. Our tour guide Thomas kept the long drive interesting and I loved the Mt Fuji song that he taught us.

Amazing

Lena_E, Oct 2023
My friend and i were lucky to get to see Mt Fuji. The weather was so good we managed to see it. So much fun n memories!! Thank you,Japan. With love!

Seeing Mt Fuji up on the 5th station when it was very foggy that day. They say that one only gets a 30% chance of seeing her

Overall average experience

Sandeep_S, Jul 2023
Good overall. No WiFi in bus. The narrator sound was not reaching the back of the bus so couldn't hear her narrative. They need to fix this to be 5 star . Lunch fantastic, sights beautiful

It was fun to cherry pick...

Tanuja_R, Jun 2023
It was fun to cherry pick as we missed the cherry blossoms, the areas were scenic, cable car was nice. It was a little cloudy otherwise was a nice view of the country side…. would have been nice to be given little more general information by tour guide

Superbe visite

MIRI_L, Apr 2024
Tous les arrêts valent le coup...les différents points de vue du mont, la cueillette de fruits... le seul bémol, les gens qui ne respectent pas les délais à chaque arrêts, pénalisent les autres sur les autres sites.

La profesionalidad y el compromiso de la sra. Midori y el conductor.

Elsebeth_A, Feb 2024
En el trato con todos por parte de nuestra guía Sra. Midori y el conductor del autocar, comprometidos, responsables y grandes profesionales nos hicieron disfrutar de una nueva experiencia visitando el monte Fuji. Recomendada para todos nuestros conocidos interesados en vivir una experiencia similar.
