Things to do in Gotemba

Great experience! Laner Jin was an awesome tour guide, very knowledgable and helpful when we had questions! We got lucky with the weather today and Mt. Fuji showed herself to us a few times! She was playing hide and seek with the clouds but we were able to get a few pics with her. We also were able to pick up some souvenirs and even brought back some water straight from Mt. Fuji! The Gotemba Premium Outlets was a plus and we got to kill two birds with one stone with this day trip! Good stores and really good deals! Would definitely recommend if you want to sightsee and shop!

When planning our trip to Tokyo with the kids, I was very careful in choosing a tour. My choice turned out to be absolutely excellent. Meeting our guide, Kanazawa Seiga, was also incredibly fortunate. Our meeting point was Tokyo Station at 8 AM, and since our accommodation was in the Ariake area, I was worried about being late even though we woke up early to prepare and took the bus. However, I was so grateful that the guide kept in touch via KakaoTalk, providing updates, and even came to pick us up from the bus stop to the meeting point. Thankfully, we made it onto the bus right at 8 AM. During the journey, the guide smiled brightly and shared many interesting stories. I thought our second child wasn't paying attention, but it turned out they listened to everything the guide said and even recounted it to me, which made me proud. I thought we wouldn't be able to see Mount Fuji, but it was incredibly clear and visible, making this a truly satisfying tour. The guide also took many enthusiastic photos and provided excellent information, which was wonderful. I will definitely book this tour again next time! Thanks to you, it was a very happy tour.

We were a bit confused because the guide couldn't speak English well, but she put in the effort to translate using Google Translate, and we really appreciated it. We were very unlucky as it rained heavily yesterday with a typhoon, so we couldn't see Mount Fuji at all. But overall, we were very satisfied with the places we visited, especially the Mount Fuji 5th Station where it was so cold, and the best part was shopping at Gotemba Premium Outlets. Hope to visit again next time when we can finally see Mount Fuji!

We had a wonderful experience on this Fuji one-day tour. The tour guide were friendly, cheerful, and always full of positive energy. They provided clear and interesting explanations which made the journey even more enjoyable. We initially had some difficulty finding the meeting point at Ueno Station, as the directions to Ueno Park were a little confusing. Fortunately, the tour team was very understanding and allowed us to join at the next pick-up point in Shinjuku. We are especially grateful to the bus driver and both tour guides for patiently waiting for us even though we arrived slightly late. For Muslim travelers, halal food options were limited at the designated meal stop, but there were vegetarian options available. If those do not suit your preference, there is a FamilyMart and 7-Eleven just a short walk to the left, where you can find additional food choices. Thank you to the driver and tour guides for making this trip so memorable. Highly recommended!

To our tour guide and driver, Master Wang LH David: Hello! We are writing this letter to express our sincerest gratitude. Your attentive and thoughtful service throughout the entire day made everyone in our group extremely satisfied. When we arrived at Gotemba Premium Outlets, you understood our shopping needs and extended our stay, allowing us to browse and shop at our leisure. Later, when a group member was nearly twenty minutes late, you handled the situation calmly and professionally, without rushing anyone. You ensured the entire trip proceeded smoothly, demonstrating both consideration and professionalism. Thanks to your accommodating and meticulous service, we had a comfortable and enjoyable day trip. We sincerely wish you safe and smooth journeys on all your future tours, and all the best in everything you do!

We highly recommend this tour! Haroon reached out to me the day prior to confirm the itinerary and pick up times. I had asked for an English speaking driver and his language skills were impeccable. He was able to make a suggestion for an earlier pick up to avoid crowds which was extremely appreciated. What the description doesn’t note is how lovely Haroon was and how he was able to take family photos for us at key stops. He knew exactly where to get the best shots and was extremely helpful. His suggestions, thoughtfulness and patience really made the day a 5 star experience. On the way home there was an accident on the highway which added an extra hour to the drive and he was the most patient driver. I highly recommend the tour, and if possible Haroon as the driver. My teen children commented on how it was the best day ever (Haroon was even able to recommend an amazing lunch spot and speed boat activity!!). We’ll never forget our Mt. Fuji day!

Had an awesome Mt. Fuji private tour! Stress-free! Rana is our driver. Travel is smooth, no hassle and fun. Rana is an excellent tour guide. He even helped take phtots and videos for us. Very accommodating and respectful too. We highly recommend Rana for your Mt Fuji private tour. Car is a 6-seater, clean and spacious. We are a family of 4.

We had a great experience with Bek as our driver. He was very accommodating to our requests and was happy to follow our customized itinerary instead of a fixed tour route. There was a small hiccup at the beginning of the day with about a one-hour delay because our original driver became unwell and had to be replaced. While it was an inconvenience, Bek handled the situation professionally and ensured the rest of the trip went smoothly. Our route was exactly as we had planned: from the hotel to Chureito Pagoda, Oishi Park, Lake Kawaguchiko, Shiraito Falls, and finally Shibuya. Bek drove safely, was punctual at each stop, and gave us the flexibility to enjoy each location at our own pace. Overall, despite the initial delay, we were very satisfied with the service. Bek’s friendly attitude, flexibility, and professionalism made the trip enjoyable. We would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating driver in the Mt. Fuji area

The tour guide was very approachable, patient, and friendly throughout the whole trip. We were able to visit all the places listed in the itinerary without feeling rushed. The weather was also great during our trip, which made the sightseeing even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a well-organized and memorable tour, and we truly appreciated the guide’s effort in making the experience smooth and fun for everyone. Highly recommended!
