It was good that I was able to purchase the tour even with only 1 day before the date I wanted. However, we were not able to see all the locations and finish the tour at the time described in the itinerary (we had to reschedule our next appointment because we were late) Because of GW holiday, I think that delay is expected but could be prevented or improved, not only by constant reminder of the tour guide to be on time, do not be late or you will be left (It was really emphasized throughout the tour), but also by adjustment of the meetup time (7am instead of 8am) or buying the entrance as a group tour (included in the tour cost) to save time.

There were people came from at least 11 different countries on the bus, but the tour guide spoke in English and Mandarin. What happen to other countries? The tour guide should speak only English. Not adding Mandarin and forget every other countries. This is not right.

Arrangement was very good and our guide, Mr. David was awesome. His communication and social skills are fantastic and managed the tour very well. Heads up to Mr. David. Would love to have his company when we would visit Tokyo next time.

Very well organised and great communication from guide. We were lucky with the weather so had some great views of Mount Fuji from where we were taken. Only 4 not 5 stars since the itinerary seemed to change halfway through, it seemed there were several itineraries sold for the same trip. We missed out lake Kawaguchi and we went to an English garden layout which wasn't really in bloom yet. However, we enjoyed the day.

Your Experience

Mt. Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes

Kickstart your adventurous day away from the bustling Tokyo cityscape with a convenient pick-up at either JR Marunouchi, Tokyo Station or SMBC Bank, Shinjuku-Nishiguchi. Your expert guide, fluent in English, will take you to Mt. Fuji area. As the journey unfolds, you'll ascend to the mountain's 5th station, each turn revealing a different aspect of Fuji's majestic beauty. Whether it’s a blushing cherry blossom spectacle or a vibrant autumn foliage display, the mountain's seasonal transformations are sure to captivate you.

Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka

Post the mountain's visual treat, the tour heads to Lake Kawaguchi, the largest of the renowned Fuji Five Lakes. Known for its mirror-like water reflecting an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji, the lake is a photographer's paradise. Boat rides, cultural sites, and scenic walks along the shore, subtly narrate the tales of the lake's deep-rooted heritage. The tour's final stop is at the highest of the Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Yamanaka. The lake, also known as 'Swan Lake', offers you a dip into natural hot springs while you bask in the picturesque views of Mt. Fuji and the distant Mt. Hakone. Interestingly, the name 'Swan Lake' originates from the swans seeking warmth during the colder months. The winter also witnesses the awe-inspiring 'Swan Lake' ice sculpture festival, a sight that’s not to be missed. The entire journey is made comfortable and hassle-free with air-conditioned transport, ensuring an unforgettable exploration of Japan's scenic and cultural marvels.
