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.

The guide David was the best. Unfortunately there was a lot of traffic and it took a long time to get to the places. Tour information is not clear and leads to confusion

Our guide was amazing. When we got to the pick up location, a lot of other guides were there and initially we couldn't find David (our guide). Once he arrived, he stated his name, he even had a name tag displayed. This made it easier to identify him, as there were many other guides with the yellow flag. He gave clear instructions and made the journey smooth and enjoyable. My concern, and I realized after purchasing my tickets that there was an issue with the actual tour. The time spent at the first stops were long. There was nothing there to see really because the flowers were not in full bloom. At lake Kawaguchi, we didn't have much to do either because the sakura were not in bloom. When we got to Arakurayama Sengen Park, we had less than 1 hour to climb over 300 steps. Plus we had a 30 minute walk back to the bus. I found that to be ridiculous and I strongly believe there should be some adjustments. Most or everyone were looking forward to getting to the top of the park, so that was disappointing. Now if I want to see it, I'll have to make another trip and that's still not guaranteed. Thumbs up to David but I believe the time could be better managed.

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.
