Good train experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Lake Ashi, and the ropeway in one busy day, with lunch, an English guide, and a bullet train return to Tokyo.
“Tour guide - Levin - was great. Keep the group laughing and engaged with the tour the whole day. Great way to spend a day in Japan.”
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.”
Visit Mt. Fuji’s 5th Station, ride the Hakone Ropeway, cruise Lake Ashi, and return to Tokyo by bullet train in one full day.
“one of the best tours ever. loved the trip overall and the guide was amazing.”
Review of Tokyo’s Mt. Fuji and Hakone day tour, with the 5th Station, ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, lunch, and bullet train return.
“It was a very beautiful trip, with an excellent tour guide and driver. We visited stunning places throughout the entire tour. I can only recommend it to everyone!”
Ride Japan’s bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto for lunch, Fushimi Inari, Sanjusangen-do, and Kiyomizu-dera in one tightly planned day.
“Fantastic day trip to Kyoto. We had limited time in Japan and had to limit our Kyoto time to one day and this was fantastic. We got to visit shrines, had plenty of opportunities to shop, and have snacks. The meal that came with the tour was delicious and our guide was phenomenal. Recommend this for anyone looking to get some of Kyoto in on limited time.”
Review of the Mt. Fuji and Hakone day trip from Tokyo, with ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, lunch option, coach or bullet train return.
“I find it impossible to rate the experience as fog blotted out Mount Fuji and most other places the whole day. The guide was good and efficient but the weather meant we saw almost nothing. Pirate ship was overcrowded”
See Mt. Fuji, Owakudani, Lake Ashi, and Hakone on a full-day Tokyo bus tour, with optional lunch and bullet train return.
“This was such a great tour, saw so many things. It’s hard to believe that they could offer so much for such a low price. And to top it off we got to ride the bullet train back to Tokyo. We only have 4 days here so it’s nice to fit so much into 1 day,”
See Enoshima, Kamakura’s Great Buddha, Slam Dunk sights, shrines, Komachi Street, and ride the Enoden train on a small-group day trip.
“We had a customized tour for group of 6. Sun was a good guide on time. He explained these details and itinerary as we progressed during our identified spot. Overall a day well spent but we still needed more time to savor the scenery of Kamakura. Thank you Sun for excellent guidance on our trip.”
Ride the bullet train from Tokyo to Nagano for miso making, Obuse chestnuts, and a winter walk to Japan’s famous snow monkeys.
“Definitley the highlight of our trip to Tokyo! I would recommend this activity to individuals and families who are looking to enjoy nature.”
