We aren't really into big motorcoach trips with hoardes of tourists if there is an option to avoid that. In South Africa we did a tour in a minivan with a couple of other couples and it was certainly the best way to do it.

I've found a few websites on Google that have overnight trips including a hotel and such but we'd like to see if there is anything we can do in a day. We are both first time visitors to Tokyo and being out of the city for two full days isn't ideal.

If anyone can recommend an operator for such a trip to Fuji-Hakone-Izu I'd greatly appreciate it. If a motorcoach is the only way to see it we'll live with that!

If it helps out with info we are staying at the Conrad in Shiodome.

Thanks for your help!
