Take a day trip from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji and Hakone, featuring a journey up Mt. Fuji, a thrilling Hakone Ropeway ride, and a serene Lake Ashi cruise. Discover Japan's natural beauty and cultural landmarks with an expert English-speaking guide.
Your day begins at the Shinjuku LOVE Object, a notable Tokyo landmark. Here, you'll embark on your journey in a comfortable bus, setting the stage for an exciting day ahead.
As you travel along the scenic Subaru Line, anticipate the arrival at Mt. Fuji's 5th Station, perched at an elevation of about 2,300 meters. This location offers stunning views of the mountain and its surroundings. Should any adverse conditions such as bad weather or road accidents, occur, the tour will adapt to visit the highest accessible elevation point.
Around midday, take a break for lunch. As this tour does not include a meal plan, you have the flexibility to explore local eateries or enjoy a meal you brought along.
Next, the tour heads to Ōwakudani, a region showcasing Japan's volcanic activity with visible fumaroles and sulfataras. Here, you can try "kurotamago," distinctive eggs boiled in sulfuric waters, a unique highlight of Hakone's geothermal landscape.
Experience the thrill of the Hakone Ropeway, stretching from Owakudani to Sounzan. This ride offers a unique perspective of Hakone's volcanic landscapes.
A highlight of the afternoon is a peaceful cruise on Lake Ashi, providing a different vantage point of the area's natural beauty.
The tour concludes at Shinjuku, providing a convenient endpoint for your adventure. However, you also have the option to end your guided journey earlier at Hakone Yumoto Station or Odawara Station if you prefer to continue exploring independently or start your journey back from these locations.
