★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 236 reviews · 10 hours · from $54

Spend 10 hours exploring Mt. Fuji’s best-known viewpoints from Tokyo. Ride the Kachikachi Ropeway, prepare matcha beside Lake Kawaguchiko, stop at the Lawson Fuji photo spot, and visit Oshino Hakkai. Guides such as Sawaki, Laner, Peter, and Brewski are praised for keeping the busy day friendly and well organized.

“We had a great day on Mount Fuji. Our guide, Sawaki, was really excellent: very friendly, well organised and attentive to everyone’s needs. He was able to create a friendly atmosphere and make the outing alive. The excursion was interesting, but unfortunately the timing did not allow you to fully enjoy the lake. The meal was good, but with few options for those who do not eat meat; a menu based on fish and vegetables would have been appreciated. Despite this, we highly recommend this outing!”

We ended up having an amazing day touring Sao Miguel Island. The pictures do not do justice…”
