Great day trip while in Tokyo. Beautiful bus drive, about two hours. My. Fuji was 100% visible so we lucked out! We were told by our wonderful tour guide that it’s usually 30%. Tram ride and boat tour were nice and relaxing. Lunch was great buffet of traditional Japanese foods. Well organized. Bullet train back was the way to go as only 30 minutes. Highly recommend.

    Disappointed Trip That Went Ahead

    Trevor_B, May 2026
    Experience should have been cancelled due to terrible weather. Couldn’t see Mount Fuji at all. So bad it might not have been there. Cable car ride and boat trip, again should have been cancelled due to not being able to see anything due to rain and mist. Bulletin train ok. Considering our previous positive experiences with Viator, surprised this trip went ahead. Very disappointed.

    Mt. Fuji

    Carolyn_L, May 2026
    It was a full day of the Mt. Fuji tour. Lisa our tour guide fed us with a lot of pertinent information. However due to the clouds Mt. Fuji was not totally visible. We had a great time and we highly recommend this tour.

    Poorly Organize and more bus travel than tour.

    David_R, May 2026
    Meg, our guide seemed nice but it went downhill from there. She told us a 9 AM that Mt Fuji was busy so we are having lunch at 10 AM, This is way to early to have lunch. We had 30 minutes to eat and use the bathroom for a bus load of people. In addition the fried food served was cold and inedible. Then we get on the bus and she says we are skipping the gondola because the lines are to long. We spent 30 minutes at Mt Fuji which was way to short. Instead she gave us 800 yen vouchers to use at a souvenir shop she took us to. The tickets for the gondola are 3,000 yen and 800 is an insult. So with missing the gondola, we spent most of our time on the bus. The boat ride was ok. Having such a short time at Mt Fuji and missing the Gondola was so disappointing. I reached out to the company and after 5 days, no response. For such an expensive tour I could have seen Mt Fuji for less and had more time there. I would skip this tour company.

    Thank​ you​ for​ your​ feedback. We​ appreciate​ your​ words​ regarding​ the​ matter.​ It​ is​ unfortunate​ that​ the​ activities​ that​ took​ place​ on​ the​ tour​ day​ did​ not​ match​ your​ expectations. But​ since​ Mt.​ Fuji​ is​ about​ 100​ and​ few​ kilometers​ away​ from​ Tokyo​ and​ also​ our​ tour​ incorporates​ traveling​ to​ Hakone​ area​ (another​ prefecture​ from​ where​ Mt.​ Fuji​ is),​ it​ hence results for​ the​ bus​ ride​ to​ get​ a​ little​ extended.​ With​ this,​ our​ tour​ takes​ you​ to​ 3​ different​ prefectures​ in​ one​ day​ which​ if​ one​ had​ to​ do​ on their​ own​ would​ not​ be​ possible​ at​ any​ cost.​ We​ appreciate​ your​ understanding​ on​ the​ matter​ and​ wish​ you​ a​ lovely​ stay​ for​ the​ rest​ of​ the​ period​ here​ in​ Japan.​ Best​ regards, Japan​ Panoramic​ Tours

    Barney_B, May 2026
    Kazu was the best tour guide! Super informative of the history and landmarks he talked about. Even taught us phrases to use in Tokyo and Osaka. Unfortunately Mt Fuji was not viewable due to the clouds, but nonetheless Kazu made our tour so fun.

    Too many clouds but interesting all the same

    Rosalinda_T, May 2026
    Our Guide Levin was entertaining on the bus, He was informative and answered questions. It was disappointing to have clouds and only get a quick view of the mountain. I will say land, sea and air was a unique way to get a sight of her, Mt. Fuji. But we did get one!

    Great 1-Day Tour to Mount Fuju and to Hakone

    Edward_G, May 2026
    It was an amazing 1-day tour to the mnt. Fuji, crater, river cruise and more. The tour guide Levin made this trip unforgettable, very interesting, informative and fun. Levin is the top guide who I would highly recommend to book this tour or any other tour if you can. I appreciated the difference even more when I had tours with other guides in Japan who lacked that experience, expertise and just attitude.

    Mt Fuji yes! Cable car and pirate boat - not so much.

    ANGEL_C, May 2026
    Mt. Fuji views were awesome. Cable car and lake pirate boat were kind of underwhelming. Would have preferred to visit the Owakudani volcanic eggsand maybe .spend more time in Hakone itself.

    What A Day!

    Paige_E, May 2026
    Full day but so nice to have a tour scheduled with a guide to tell us where to go and what to do (after several days of self-guided exploration). The downtime of the bus ride was great & Fuji put on a show for us! The team had glorious views and the pirate ship cruise was a fun way to end. The bullet train is definitely worth it! Fun (and SPEEDY) experience! Our guide, Meg, was delightful & helpful. Our group of four was exhausted but so glad we went!

    Sadie_H, May 2026
    We had an amazing time on this tour! The bus ride was a bit long, but our tour guide Hiro took the time to teach us all about life in Japan! I feel like Hiro really made the trip, if was so knowledgeable about not only the places we visited but the culture and lifestyle in Japan. He even gave us a small Japanese lesson during the ride! The pirate ship was great, and seeing Mt Fuji up close was insane. Our favorite part though was the cable car. Definitely recommend, and hope you get Hiro as your guide!

    A throughly enjoyable adventure to Hakone!

    Shonnan_S, May 2026
    If you have the time, definitely book this experience. It was fun, informative and at points breathtaking. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji throughout the day, including with the sunset as we shot through the mountains on the bullet train back to Tokyo. There was a mixture of historical, geographical and local information, including some excellent recommendations for all of Japan (not just Tokyo!). This tour extends beyond a trip to Mt. Fuji (which would have been excellent in itself), including plenty of stops to immerse yourself into different parts of Hakone. Thank you for a great experience!
