All in one day
Yong was an amazing tour guide! Patient and knowledgeable. Had so much fun! Highly recommend, we got to see Mt Fuji which is dependent on weather but today was a great viewing day. Definitely try Fuji Apple in Fuji and their fresh fruits. The walk up the shrine /pagoda was a hike, wear comfortable shoes. Yong made the trip east by telling us where to meet and texted us about the itinerary the night before. 10/10!!
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you had a great day exploring Mount Fuji along with Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka. It’s fantastic to hear that Yong made the experience even more enjoyable with his knowledge and patience, and that you were lucky to have clear views of Mt. Fuji. Great tip about trying Fuji apples too We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another memorable tour!

The Fuji was beautiful
Laner was a great tour leader, she was attentive and patient, very pleasant and warm and made this day really good. I would say that it wasn’t clear in advance that we can’t go into the onsen because of the tatous.

Great views of Mt Fuji
Christy was an excellent tour guide and the driver was fast. The company was called gogo day, and I think at least the majority of their tour guides are tri-lingual in Chinese, Japanese, and English. Christy did the tour pretty much all in English. We visited 3 sites, Kogamasao Memorial Park by Lake Kawaguchi, Arakurayama Sengen Park, and Lake Yamanakako (with a boat ride). There was also an option to goto a hot spring Onsen. All were lovely and had great views of Mt Fuji. The tour description did not match exactly the online description so be aware (a 1 day trip really only had time for 3 stops). Lunch and the Onsen or boat ride cost extra and you needed cash (website was clear that lunch and onsen you needed money). Lunch was average (pick a cheaper option for best value), however the speed was excellent (and ensured we spent more time sightseeing). Each stop was like 45 minutes, so a bit short, please keep that in mind. To go up to the observatory at Arakurayama Sengen Park we had to get a taxi to catch up to the tour bus (about 6000 yen). Tour ran all day. The booking was confusing, the email did say they tour guide would provide information the day before, it was more like night before (about 9pm). This was because the tour guide wasn't free until then (she was doing a tour that day as is). This caused some anxiety due to the late information, however I think you just need to be prepared for that. I would recommend, it was a really nice day trip. Check Mt Fuji forecast if you want to actually see it. Thank you Christy! (And the driver too)

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour?
+
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 Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi & Lake Yamanaka Onsen Day Tour 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 Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. 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.
