This was a well organised trip from start to finish, with a fantastic tour guide who did not stop laughing all the way through and kept all of our spirits high! Thanks to the tour guide: she taught us alot about Japanese culture. The day we went on the trip to Mt. Fuji was a very clear day with no cloud cover till late afternoon so we had fantastic views. By the time we got to the cruise and Mt. Hakone it started to snow. One down point, is the length of the cruise, though, as we were told it would be 45 minutes but it ended up being only a ferry crossing for 20 minutes. Apart from that it was a fantastic day out. I would recommend that you do not go for the lunch option, as there is a snack bar near the entrance of the theme park next door to the hotel where you have lunch that serves what we were told was better food and more filling.

Excellent in April as still plenty of snow. The return on the Bullet train was very tame and not nearly as fast as the Maglev in China. I would recommend the tour but not the return by train.

The whole trip was very well organized and everything worked smoothly, like most things in Japan. Despite the bad weather and not being able to see the top of Mount Fuji, the whole experience was worthwhile. The guide was extremely informative and entertaining. We only had time for a one day trip to see Japan, and the variety of the stops and scenery on the tour met our expectations. Thanks for a great experience.
