You do need to check some activities as to whether they are in Japanese only. We got caught with one activity that was in Japanese and we didn’t understand it. Apart from that we loved it!”

Mt Fuji and Hakone 1-Day Bus Tour Return by Bus

10.Mt Fuji and Hakone 1-Day Bus Tour Return by Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 929 reviews · from $136

This 11-hour Tokyo day trip combines Mt Fuji’s 5th Station, a Japanese buffet option, Hakone’s ropeway, and a Lake Ashi cruise. Guides such as Yui, Sora, Hiro, and Aya lead the group, with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and multilingual audio on the bus. Check your date carefully, since weekend returns often end at Odawara Station.

“Cruise trip was very short, Ropeway/cable car ride was cancelled due to mismanagement. JPY 800 coupon was given to shop only at the store which would profit that dedicated store where prices are already very high compelling you to buy at that price. Must have provided at least one bottle of water. Overall experience was waste of time and money as 90% of the time was spend travelling in the bus.”

He had really great advice so that we could enjoy our stay in Japan, not only during the tour.”

15.From Tokyo 1-Day Kyoto English-guided Tour by Bullet Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 376 reviews · from $452

Travel from Tokyo to Kyoto by reserved Shinkansen, with station escorts at both ends. After a hotel lunch, guides lead you to Fushimi Inari, Sanjusangen-do, and Kiyomizu-dera. Guides such as Yumi, Tammy, KC, and Momo have earned praise for clear, lively explanations, though Kyoto time is tightly packed.

“A rushed day full of waiting was a bit disappointing. Was looking forward to an authentic lunch and was simply in a hotel at the station, but it was good food but not authentic. Might be better to stay in Kyoto and not do it in 1 day.”
