This 11-hour coach tour links Mt. Fuji and Hakone with a professional English-speaking guide, buffet lunch, Ropeway ride, Lake Ashi cruise, and Shinkansen return to Tokyo. Guides such as Sora, Hiro, Momo, and Levin have earned praise for clear explanations and good humor. Expect a busy day, changing weather, and limited time at each stop.

“Our guide Momo was wonderful, and the tour was wonderful, especially since Mt Fuji was as clear as a bell. The variety of the bus ride, Fuji, the cable car ride, the Ninja restaurant, Lake Hakone, and the Bullet train back to Tokyo was very nice. The offered meal was very tasty, but the way it was served or buffeted was less than Japanese esthetic.”
