Flawless Tour from Start to Finish!
An absolute 10/10 experience! The entire tour was flawlessly organized from start to finish. Riding the Hokusai Special Train and the Shinkansen was seamless, and the Shizuoka wasabi farm was fascinating. Even though Mt. Fuji was hidden behind clouds, the trip was worth every second. Our guide was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day unforgettable. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm cost?
+
Prices start at ¥22,000 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 Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm?
+
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 Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm?
+
Around 18 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm 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), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. 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.
What is included in Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm?
+

Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm?
+
Meet your guide holding a JTB Sunrise Tours sign at Tokyo Midtown Yaesu B1F Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu B, in front of the Information desk. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Mt Fuji Views Tour by Bullet Train Hokusai Train and Wasabi Farm if the weather is bad?
+
