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.”

the SUMO show

4.the SUMO show

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,960 reviews · from $89Top rated

Meet retired sumo wrestlers in Tokyo for a lively show, hands-on bouts, sumo lessons, photos, tonkatsu, and chanko soup.

“This was a fun and entertaining experience. The host was great and the wrestlers were entertaining and friendly. I wouldn't say it was a deep dive of sumo but a cursory history and overview which I didn't mind and knew going into it. I appreciated the opportunity to engage as much or as little, along with the photo op for my family. The food was good and I only wished I could have ordered a huge bowl of the soup vs the tonkatsu because it was so tasty.”

Learned a lot about Sumo from two very entertaining wrestlers and the MC who had pretty much perfect English. Got to dress up. The geisha dance was gorgeous. All the tiny movements. I think I understand the appeal of Sumo and Geisha now. The souvenirs were lovely too, and we bought a few more. I wasn't expecting all the photos and filming which was very helpful. We are not used to being the centre of attention but they…”
