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.

    It was mid. Long day on the bus

    Theresa_N, Jul 2026
    It was a Saturday, where visibility was projected to be very good. However, not only did we go, but many many other visitors from Tokyo also decided to go; therefore, there was heavy traffic on the way to Mount Fuji. What was supposed to be a two hour shuttle bus ride turned into almost a four hour bus ride. We ate lunch first as soon as we got there, and it was good. But we had to rush to station 5, then to the lake. We did catch glimpses of Mount Fuji and it was beautiful.; but again, it was very, very rushed and most of the time was spent on the shuttle bus. Due to the delay, we were not able to go on the gondola ride, so we feel somewhat cheated on this tour.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    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

    Sharon_S, Jul 2026
    The sites where beautiful. Would have been nice to have been able to spend some more time visiting each destination. Mt Fuji we got about 30 minutes. Ropeway was very limited time. Would love to have had time for photos and a visit to souvenier shop. I would say about 80% of the time is spent on the bus. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Lovely a an amazing guide

    Sounder_A, Jul 2026
    Super easy meetup. Great directions. Bathroom break before leaving on a 2 hour bus ride. Lovely, our guide, was amazing. Super funny and engaging the whole tour. Lots of fun facts and lots of personal stories. Mount Fuji was excellent, about a half an hour at station 5 which was plenty of time. Lunch was ok, decent food buffet style. At the lunch spot there is a beautiful Japanese garden and ninja games. After that was gondola and boat tour. Gondolas were awesome, great views and spectacular sights. The boat tours was quick, 25 minutes, but a highlight of the tour. Super great information and communication from Lovely, your was amazing and relaxing. The your was well worth the price paid, we would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Our tour guide, Sora is amazing. Learned a lot and she made it fun. She is an asset to your company. Thank you Sora and Watanabe-san (driver) for a wonderful day. It’s just unfortunate they the weather did not work in our favor since it was foggy and raining.

    Poor weather

    Thomas_W, Jul 2026
    In all fairness the weather wasn’t good. Thankfully Yuta was great but without question we simply weren’t allowed enough time at the 5th stage on the mtn. When you arrive there are numerous buses and the facilities are overwhelmed. Had the weather been good it would have made the experience better. I thought we were gonna ride on the pirate ship which we did not but all in all nice trip. Heck I want to hike Mt Fiji 😎

    We covered a lot of area and had a tremendous guide who kept us well informed and was available for any and all questions! We got several glimpses of Mt Fugi, a rare occurrence. The bullet trip back to Tokyo was only 30 minutes but worth the additional cost and two hour bus ride.

    I recommend the experience, NOT the company.

    Carlton_S, Jun 2026
    The weather was extremely bad, and I made several attempts to reschedule the tour for another day. While I understand your 24-hour cancellation policy, it was very obvious before the tour even began that we would not be able to see or experience any of the attractions we paid for. Instead of allowing us to reschedule, your company assured us that you would "make the best of it." Unfortunately, everything included in the tour was canceled. We saw none of the advertised attractions and instead spent the day gift shopping. We were even told this doesn't normally happen, yet our tour guide just so happened to previously mention a random castle that we end up seeing when everything was canceled. Blaming the experience entirely on the weather is poor customer service when it was clear from the beginning that the tour could not be delivered as advertised. I will be contacting all appropriate parties, including my bank, to request a full refund. The bus was packed and many of the people were quietly looking over their documentation to make complaints. I am sure it is normally an amazing tour, but the company knew what they were doing. This was just WRONG!

    Guide Yuty was the best (saikou)!

    Melissa_G, Jun 2026
    Our Mt. Fuji day tour was fantastic and one of the highlights of our trip. Yuty was an excellent guide with strong English skills, making it easy for everyone to follow along and learn about the area. He went above and beyond throughout the day—even running around the station to find our group when Mt. Fuji briefly emerged from behind the clouds so that no one would miss the view. He also helped multiple groups figure out their individual next travel steps with various trains and buses, even walking us to our nearby bus station. His dedication, energy, and enthusiasm made the experience both memorable and enjoyable, and we highly recommend this tour!

    Everything was just as advertised, this obviously excluded the weather with was pants! Raining and cloudy all day, which normally would not be an issue but when you are going up Mount Fuji and the Hakone Ropeway! Spoils it a little bit that that’s what you get in June ! Did not spoil it at all, we had a fantastic time throughout the day, best bits the tour guide AYU who was the best 5 stars all the way thank you so much. Next best bits riding the Shinkansen back to Tokyo what a piece of brilliant engineering! Cannot wait until 2038 when the UK gets our cut short model. Viator thank you
