Mt Fuji & Hakone Cruise, Drum Show Bullet Train 1 Day from Tokyo

1.Mt Fuji & Hakone Cruise, Drum Show Bullet Train 1 Day from Tokyo

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 7,413 reviews · from $149Our pick

Review of Tokyo’s Mt Fuji and Hakone day tour, with 5th Station, Lake Ashi cruise, Komagatake Ropeway, drum show, and bullet train return.

“The bus ride to 5th station was smooth & safe. Our tour guide, Shige, was a wealth of information for our particular destinations as well as glimpses of life in Japan. Figured at the start that we won’t be seeing Mt. Fuji due to inclement weather, and it’s ok. All in all, the tour was a great start for us in Japan.”

She was well prepared, organized, and knew exactly how to structure the day so we could see a lot without feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly, and the communication was easy from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Aya to anyone who wants a well-balanced, enjoyable, and professionally guided day in the city.”

You get to taste many of the essential flavours that make up the Japanese cuisine. Drinks constantly flowing. Hosts were attentive and friendly but also left you alone to enjoy the meal and views. Overall a great experience.”

“Great day very well organised. Our guide Tina was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful. Hakone and the valley are magical places. Personally I would have liked to spend more time there and cut short the visit to the shopping mall (but that's probably me not being very fond of shopping).”

See Mount Fuji, cruise Lake Ashi, ride the Hakone Ropeway, and visit Owakudani and Oshino Hakkai on a packed day from Tokyo.

“This trip was exactly what I wanted—to see as much as possible in the short time I had left in Japan. Mizuki made it happen. The weather was great, and everything was well organised and perfectly timed so we could see all the key sights. I would definitely recommend it. It is a very full and busy day, so I’d suggest bringing water and snacks for the stops, or trying the street food near Hakone Shrine or in the village.”
