Mt Fuji and Hakone Day Trip: Sunrise Tours Motorcoach Excursion

Mt Fuji is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to Japan. There are several ways to travel there from Tokyo. I joined a motorcoach excursion through Sunrise Tours, which was billed as a full-day Mt Fuji and Hakone tour. The group gathered at the Keio Plaza Hotel in the Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo and drove for 2.5 hours to Mt Fuji. The itinerary was to visit Mt. Fuji, eat lunch, cruise Lake Ashi, and take the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway. The itinerary changed slightly due to high winds, so the Komagatake Ropeway was exchanged for a different one. After the tour, we were taken to the train station and rode a Shinsanken train back to Tokyo Station. Mt Fuji is certainly a majestic site and the surrounding area is equally gorgeous.
For Senior & Solo Travelers: It was a simple and safe excursion, with only slight elevations and moderate walking. If you go on this excursion, bring a warm jacket!

Thank you for your video. How much did it cost you for the excursion?

Good question. I worked with a travel agent that booked it and it was all wrapped up in the entire trip. I've asked for a price breakdown from her, but haven't seen it yet. I'm not sure if the price she would have received, after booking several tours through the same company, would be transferrable to a one-off, though. It was booked through Sunrise Tours, so you might be able to just look it up online. I would also compare it to the tourist train (not sure what it is called) that goes directly from Toyko Station to views of Mt Fuji. If I had a do-over, I would probably go that route.
