Additional Information

Mount Fuji, with its impressive height of 12,388 feet (3,776 metres), holds the title of Japan’s highest mountain. Its beautiful conical shape embodies elegance, making it a sacred emblem for the nation. Numerous temples and shrines are scattered around the mountain, adding to its spiritual significance. ‘Fiji’, the English equivalent, refers to a type of plain-weave silk clothing fabric originally crafted in Japan.

Great tour from Tokyo - Views of Mt. Fuji from the Pagoda and visiting one of the Temples off the beaten path and not on the your itinerary. That made up for the closure of the 5th Station at Mt. Fuji. David was very personable and accommodating.

Superb Tour To Mount Fuji and Surroundings - The lead up to the tour was very well done, with plenty of up front communication between the tour company and us regarding our needs and preferences. The tour itself was very well thought through, organised and professionally conducted. Shah, our driver, was very professional and knowledgeable and attentive at all times. He really put himself out for us and also made a great restaurant recommendation for lunch. Top man.

Go with another outfit. - Great to see Fuji and go to the 5th station. And while our driver David did get us from our hotel to the mountain, he was clearly inexperienced and lacked the interpersonal skills that most drivers/guides I’ve personally experienced in the past possessed. From his incessant complaints about his domestic situation to his choice of lunch destination (cheap and low quality spot)– he lacks the professionalism and competence of a true professional tour driver. I chose this tour, which cost a little more than many others, thinking it would be of higher quality or comfort, but that certainly was not the case. Average at best, and at times bizarre.

Disinterested driver who spoke barely any English. Mount Fuji was amazing! - This is the tour to do to ensure you hit the best viewing locations for Mount Fuji in comfort. Good shoes are needed and don't forget a sunhat! We also saw lots of birds of prey. Clearly some people are blessed with a fabulous driver, we were not. Having had some very terse WhatsApps about ensuring we're ready on time the evening before, the driver was late due to an accident. Fair enough, he also went to the wrong hotel... So he was an hour late picking us up. At each site the driver walked ahead, no chatting and no information, thank goodness for Google! Then at one location we got a WhatsApp asking why we were not down from the viewing platform! The driver was very tight about our return time, despite his lateness... And on the way back was watching videos on his phone while driving. To cap it off he then tried to return us to the wrong hotel, blaming me for booking a hotel in the same chain. So be warned, comfort and views great. Drivers not always what is promised.
