Mt Fuji and Hakone 1-Day Bus Tour Return by Bullet Train

1.Mt Fuji and Hakone 1-Day Bus Tour Return by Bullet Train

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26,383 reviews · from $163Our pick

Leave Tokyo by coach for Mount Fuji’s 5th Station, a buffet lunch near the mountain, Hakone’s ropeway and a Lake Ashi cruise. An English-speaking guide leads the day, with audio guidance in several languages. You return to Tokyo from Odawara by bullet train. Clear weather makes a big difference, and the 5th Station and Hakone rides can be affected by road and weather conditions.

“Tour itself was great, not only thanks to weather, but also to truly dedicated guide super-Hiro. One star down for the lunch, bento box would be a better choice compared to this "buffet lunch".”

5.Flagship 2-Hours Official Street Go-Kart Tour – Tokyo Bay Shop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,974 reviews · 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $64

Take a guided street-kart ride from Tokyo’s Shinkiba area, with costume and kart rental included. The roughly two-hour route features Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge, and runs on public roads among regular traffic. Guides such as Gia, Bryan, Pam, and Jordan have been praised for keeping groups together and taking photos. Drivers must bring the correct Japanese driving documents.

“This was a really fun experience overall! Unfortunately, I was stuck behind the same slow driver for the entire tour, I started in position 6, then moved to position 2, and finally ended up in position 4. Because of that, I couldn’t really enjoy the speed I wanted as the same driver was always infront. There was a big gap between the people in front. I’m a bit disappointed because I know this could’ve been so much better under different circumstances. I’d recommend doing the Tokyo Bay 2-hour tour instead of the 1-hour Shibuya one for a fuller experience. The tour guide was great friendly, professional, and made the whole…”

She taught me how to make a wish and properly pray in the temple too. Priceless! Thank you Aya!”

“We booked a Shinjuku food tour for our family of four—two adults and two children—and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant selection was excellent. Our first stop was a restaurant with incredibly fresh fish and great sake. The second place was a famous tonkatsu restaurant that has been in business for over 64 years, right in the heart of Shinjuku. The pork cutlets were amazing and full of flavor. Next, we tried Okinawan cuisine, which was delicious and something new for all of us. Even our kids loved it. The final stop was for taiyaki—waffle-like cakes with fillings—which was a perfect sweet ending. The whole…”
