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

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

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26,383 reviews · from $163Our pick

This 11-hour tour pairs Mt. Fuji’s 5th Station with a buffet lunch, Hakone Ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, and a Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo. An English-speaking guide such as Sora, Hiro, Momo, or Levin leads the day, with multilingual audio support. Expect a full schedule and weather-dependent stops.

“Really great tour and we saw some amazing sights in a packed day. Spectacular views of Mount Fuji, luckily with clear weather this day. Only wish we could have stayed a little bit longer at some places, but there's a lot to fit into the day so the itinerary moves swiftly. Our tour guide spoke fluent English, was very knowledgeable, and took great care of everyone. Highly recommend this day trip!”
