Fun day at my Fuji
We had an amazing day, We got to see the top of Mt Fuji through the Clouds, it was so amazing. Our tour guide was Anna, she was amazing. Very knowledgeable and very funny. Thankyou
via Viator
Mt Fuji is Gorgeous
We’re fortunate to have Mt Fuji on show for the whole day. Spent only 20 minutes at 5th station which was disappointing, but yet 1hr20 at the shopping centre at the end. Yes there was traffic but surely Mt Fuji was more important. Guide did not provide any information about Mt Fuji, the areas we went to or engage.

Mount Fuji and onsen
Highlights were views of Mount Fuji and hotel onsen experience. The hotel onsen had indoor and outdoor pools and was fantastic, but the tour description should make clear that the experience is for a hotel onsen, only because “hot springs” can be confused with natural outdoor hot springs. The meal that comes with the tour can be upgraded - when we arrived at the restaurant, all the pre-ordered meals had already been plated and served at the tables, so the food had cooled a bit.

We got a perfect day with...
We got a perfect day with a complete view of Mt Fuji. We know this does not happen always. Onsen was beautiful and very calming. Anna had a lot of information and stories. We did end up having to get back to the hotel on our own instead of being dropped off where we were picked up. This meant we had to pay for and take an extra subway ride.

Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mount Fuji 5th Station Arakurayama Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
