Awesome Views, Personable host and great vibes!!

Maxwell_H, Jan 2025

Incredible, didnt get to go to the 5th station because of the weather and the fact it was snowing on the way lol, but it was an awesome trip and really loved the stops along the way and had a clear and pristine view of Mt. Fuji.

Roger_D, Jan 2025

Good opportunity to see countryside Mount Fuji and Hakone. Very enjoyable but weather dependant and be prepared for crowded locations. This maybe particularly true for weekend trips.

Excellent tour, great tour guide!

Clement_C, Jan 2025

I booked this tour for the last day of my Japan trip and it was well worth it. Yume was our tour guide, she was enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor. She managed a large tour group quite well. The only negative about this tour activity was that the snow level of Mt Fuji was too low for us to visit the 5th Station, the backup plan was a touristy village - which was a bit of a disappointment. But I understand weather and snow levels are beyond anyone's control. Yume also provided very good instructions to use the Shinkansen from Odawara Station - it wasn't my first time on the Shinkansen, but I wish someone had given me the same guidance. Overall, I enjoyed the tour and would recommend this activity and Yume as a tour guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the great review for our tour! We are glad to hear that you made an amazing memory with your tour guide. We hope the rest of your stay in Japan will be wonderful! Best regards, Japan Panoramic Tours

Disappointed

Darwin_G, Jan 2025

This trip should have been cancelled. Do to weather we were unable to go to stop 5 for photos of mt Fuji and we were unable to go up on the rope gondola. So we basically went for a bus ride and a boat ride. Lunch was horrible, even the guide ordered other food.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for joining our tour. We are sorry to hear that you had such an experience. We shall share your opinion in our company and will work for improvement for the future. During this season, in the case we can't go up to the 5th station of Mt Fuji, we will visit alternative place 'Oshino Hakkai' which as mentioned on our product page. If ropeway stop or not was something unpredictable because it's depends on the weather. Even if it was operating in the morning, it can be stopped because of wind or strong rain etcetera. Thank you for your understaning. Best regards, Japan Panoramic Tours

Entertaining, relaxing travel to Mt. Fuji and Hakone!

Easy and fun way to see Mt. Fuji and Hakone. Angela was funny and made a long bus ride interesting and enjoyable. Great way to see sites outside of Tokyo.

Angie was such a delightful tour guide! Her humor, insights, and knowledge of the sites and Japanese society really helped to make the tour fun. I'll tell others to try to book with her.

Starting the year with Fuji

Brian_P, Jan 2025

We were fortunate enough to have clear skys for our tour on the new year. I enjoyed the fact that Masa-chan gave us brief history and science behind every stop. Although l this was a Hakone tour, Masa-chan'z drawings of the deer she met at Nara convinced me to plan a trip there in the future. 新年おめでとうございます

Sidhanth_G, Jan 2025

Enjoyable tour led by our excellent guide Hiro. We were fortunate to visit Hakone/Fuji on a relatively clear day and were able to get excellent views of the mountain. As a bonus, Hiro helped us track down our bookbag which we left on the gondola and had some important travel documents - thanks again Hiro!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Disappointing Trip. No pictures taking.

Yuan_C, Jan 2025

If we had known that: 1. if we chose to eat lunch then we wouldn't have the time to take pictures at a great spot where Mount. Fuji is close and complete in the picture. 2. the trip had very limited and strict time at every spot where the tour guide would tell you "No pictures" while he pats on you and rushes you to hop on the bus. I would have never booked it. Buffet lunch, restroom break, souvenir shop in only 45 minutes at a great spot to take pictures with a great view of Mount. Fuji was pretty impossible. I understand that I chose a tour group, however, the train back to Tokyo station was on a free schedule, it was not booked for a specific time, why can't you spare ten or even just five more minutes for us to take some pictures? Then I realized that if we chose to go for lunch, then we did not have the time or privilege to take pictures at a great spot where you can see a close and full picture of Mount Fuji. You should've noted it in your options. The tour guides might go on Mount. Fuji every day or every week, I understand, it's their job. However, I spent my money and my holidays to be here; moreover, the weather is not always sunny in Tokyo and what frustrated me the most was, the day of my trip was a sunny and beautiful day! We could only see Mount. Fuji but couldn't take pictures. I was asking for just one picture and the tour guide told me "No pictures!", he kept patting me and my husband and rushed us on the bus. He told us it's already the time to leave. We were not late, we were right on time. Would one more picture really delay the whole trip?However, in the morning, he spent 10 more minutes to wait for other people to hop on the bus. Why couldn't he spare one minute for me to take just one more picture? Then we went on the afternoon schedule, the clouds came and covered some part of Mount. Fuji. We arrive at the train station around 16:30-16:40. We could hop on any train that goes to Tokyo, the tickets were not booked for a specific time, I have no idea then why so rush?

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your tour. We especially regret that you did not have enough time to take pictures and fully enjoy the view. We understand how important these moments are and will work to ensure future tours offer more flexibility for guests to capture the scenery. We truly appreciate your insights and will use them to improve our services. Best regards, Japan Panoramic Tours

We were lucky and we got...

Tony_C, Jan 2025

We were lucky and we got to see Mt Fuji with no cloud cover during the early part of the tour. We were able to go up to the 5th station up Mt Fuji which we were told would normally be closed this time of the year. The lunch at the Ninja Village was a nice surprise and the view of Mt Fuji from there was phenomenal. The cable car ride up from Hakone-en and the Lake Ashi cruise were fun. Tsubasa-san was our guide and he was a great. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He kept us on schedule without being pushy, explaining everything we need to know and do at every stop of the tour. Would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a taste of the countryside in your Tokyo focused vacation.

UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES FOR THE FAMILY!

Belinda_M, Jan 2025

Our family of 6 had an amazing day with Tommy and Suzuki! Tommy greeted us before we left for an adventure filled day with Suzuki our trusted driver. During our ride to Mt. Fuji, Tommy shared history and stories of Mt. Fuji along with phrases in Japanese. We arrived to such chilling temperatures at the top with an EPIC VIEW rarely seen of the chocolate covered peak sprinkled in pure white sugary snow. Lunch Buffet was a feast and loved every morsel. Then off to the lift to top of mountain with PANORAMIC pictures all around. Our cruise around the lake was tranquil and perfect way to finish our AMAZING day! ARIGATO and Mahalo Nui Loa Tommy and Suzuki!

Great tour

Morina_C, Dec 2024

Was great tour. Good value of money, well organised and informative about Japanese history and culture! Sights were magnificent. Lunch was a great buffet spread. Tour guide Lisa was very helpful and attentive. The driver was friendly and polite. One recommendation would be to supply at least a bottle water for the journey.
