a great day trip if you are as lucky as we were and got fantastic weather all along the tour. The fifth station is a great viewpoint, it’s so panoramic and spectacular. Our guide was really nice and set clear instructions for everyone to follow. the stop at the retail place I wasn’t looking forward to but as it turned out it was brilliant, got little souvenirs and food. It’s a long day with an early start but if it’s possible I highly recommend.

It's a pity that we didn't see Mount Fuji that day. The platform was full of cars, but the tour guide was very enthusiastic and the overall trip was quite enjoyable. You will be invited to join the group the day before the trip to inform you of the meeting point!

We had enough time for each spot. Lunch was prepared in advance but was kept hot until served. Only few lavander shrubs were full bloom. but there are still a lot of other flowers. Weather in Mt Fuji 5th station is cold and a good refresh from summer weather in the city. Bus temperature is a bit hot though.

We had a wonderful time on our day trip to Mount Fuji! Our tour guide Jorge (George) was absolutely amazing and was an essential part or our beautiful day. I would like to suggest that the tour would follow the itinerary a little better as we missed out on some time in one of the locations and we did not visit in the order that was listed on the booking. Thank you again!
