The day trip was very good and we had a very good guide Erik around. Erik gave a lot of good recommendations for souvenirs and other useful tips while traveling Japan in general. It was sadly raining so we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji but it didn’t ruin the experience for us.

We had an amazing time. The weather was a little gloomy, raining and cloudy but by the afternoon Mount Fuji made an appearance. This is great if you want to go to all the famous photo spots and as we were travelling with kids, this was a very convenient option. highly recommend!

The tour was very well organized and we enjoyed it, even though Mount Fuji was hidden behind a thick cloud cover. It would be desirable if all participants were informed beforehand via WhatsApp.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The absolute highlight of our Japan itinerary!
Escaping the hustle of Tokyo for a day in Mt. Fuji and Hakone was an unforgettable reset. Seeing Mt. Fuji's iconic peak in person is stunning enough, but the real magic of this tour is how every segment feels like a new perspective:
The Volcanic Vistas: Standing at Owakudani with the sulfur vents below and Fuji rising behind you is surreal. (Don't skip the black eggs!)
On the Water & Air: Gliding across Lake Ashi on the pirate ship offered breathtaking views, followed by sweeping panoramas on the Hakone Ropeway.
Stress-Free Logistics: Navigating Hakone's multi-layered transit (buses, ropeways, boats) on your own can be confusing, but this tour seamlessly connects every piece of the puzzle.
Special thanks to our guide (Yang) and driver for keeping everything punctual while giving us plenty of time to explore. Worth every penny!

Serina is a wonderful person. I was so impressed with her from the get go, having to translate not only into one language but two!! at our first stop the team working on an event at the lake was very rude and Serina was able to find a new spot with swans for everyone to still enjoy there time. I knew mt Fuji wasn't promised to see do to weather but luck was very much on our side and several of the locations we got views.

What to know before visiting Minamitsuru
Minamitsuru District at a glance

Demand on Klook has a strong seasonal rhythm, with clear peaks in spring and much lighter activity through late summer and early autumn.
When to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data shows April is the busiest month and August the quietest. Prices across the year are relatively stable but trend higher around April and through the following spring months; July and August are typically the most budget-friendly. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider visiting in July or August; for the full peak-season atmosphere choose April when demand and prices are both higher.

Tips for travellers from the United States
Most visitors from the United States who book Minamitsuru experiences typically plan about a week ahead, so allow a few days to lock in tickets and tours. Many experiences here are short and flexible, so you can often book last-minute options up to a day before, but booking a few days earlier gives more choice during busy months. Use Klook to compare tours, cable-car rides and attraction passes and secure the options that match your travel dates.
