The Mt Fuji 5th Station & Hakone Cruise Bus Tour is a group coach day trip priced at $154 per person that combines a Mount Fuji 5th Station stop with the Hakone Ropeway, a Lake Ashi cruise, and a one-way bullet train ticket from Odawara Station back to Tokyo. Pickup is from Matsuya Ginza or the Shinjuku Love Statue, the coach has on-board Wi-Fi and multilingual audio guides, and an English-speaking tour guide travels with the group. It suits visitors who want Fuji and Hakone's two signature experiences — the ropeway and the lake cruise — in a single day without arranging transport between the two areas themselves.

What's included: Fuji, ropeway, cruise and the train back
The fare covers coach transport from Tokyo to the Mount Fuji 5th Station, tickets for the Hakone Ropeway and a Lake Ashi cruise, an English-speaking guide, on-board Wi-Fi, multilingual audio guides, and a one-way bullet train ticket from Odawara Station back to Tokyo — so the return leg is faster than the outbound coach ride. A buffet lunch is included only if that option is selected at booking; tips and hotel pickup are excluded.
Why pair Fuji with Hakone
Hakone is the closest major add-on to a Mount Fuji day trip: the ropeway crosses Owakudani's volcanic valley with Fuji views on a clear day, and the Lake Ashi cruise adds a second, very different vantage point of the mountain from the water. Combining both into one coach itinerary avoids arranging separate transport between the Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone, which are not directly connected by a quick train.
Price vs. booking separately
At $154 this sits between the group bus tour ($63, Fuji only) and the private tour ($256, more stops but no Hakone or bullet train). Booking the Hakone Ropeway, a Lake Ashi cruise and a bullet train ticket separately, on top of a standalone Fuji tour, would mean coordinating three separate bookings and transfers instead of one coach itinerary with a train ticket already included for the return.
Who this tour suits
Travelers with one day to spend outside Tokyo who want both Fuji and Hakone's signature experiences, rather than choosing between them, get the most value here. Anyone planning multiple days in the Fuji Five Lakes area, or who wants to reach Gotemba Premium Outlets near Hakone, should compare this against the private tour or plan Hakone as a separate day.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Mount Fuji and Hakone combo tour worth it?
Yes for a single day trip outside Tokyo that wants both areas — the price sits between the Fuji-only bus tour and the private tour, and it bundles a ropeway ticket, a lake cruise and a bullet train ticket that would otherwise need separate bookings.
How do you get back to Tokyo on this tour?
By bullet train, one-way, from Odawara Station — included in the price — rather than the coach used for the outbound leg.
Does this tour visit the same Fuji stops as the bus tour?
No. This tour stops at the 5th Station only; the standard group bus tour also visits Lake Kawaguchi, Chureito Pagoda and Oshino Hakkai but does not include Hakone.
