Our journey kicks off at the tranquil Hakone Shrine, nestled along the calm shores of Lake Ashi. Dating back to 757 AD, this shrine offers a deep connection to ancient mountain worship. You’ll be captivated by the iconic red torii gate, standing gracefully in the lake, merging spiritual charm with the surrounding natural beauty. It’s a photo moment you won’t want to pass up!

Next up: a playful twist on sightseeing! Climb aboard the quirky Hakone Pirate Ship and set sail across the stunning Lake Ashi. As you glide through the waters, take in panoramic views of the shimmering lake, the torii gate, and on a clear day, the mighty Mount Fuji itself. This isn’t just a boat ride—it’s a fun and scenic way to soak in Hakone’s charm.
12:40 PM Hakone Ropeway(about 30mins, ticket including)
Now, get ready for some high-flying action as we board the Hakone Ropeway! This thrilling ride will take you soaring over the volcanic valley of Owakudani. As you rise above the clouds, feast your eyes on the billowing steam vents and, of course, the jaw-dropping sight of Mount Fuji. It’s a bird’s-eye view you’ll never forget!
13:10 PM Owakudani (about 50min)
Once we touch down in Owakudani, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world, with steam hissing from active volcanic vents all around. Don’t miss the chance to try the legendary “black eggs,” cooked in the area’s sulfuric springs—rumor has it that eating one adds seven years to your life! This dramatic, surreal landscape will leave you amazed by the sheer power of nature.
15:00 PM Yamanakako Swan Lake(about 20min)
Next, we head to the serene Yamanakako, or Swan Lake, one of the stunning Fuji Five Lakes. It’s the perfect place to unwind and snap some incredible photos of graceful swans gliding across the water with Mount Fuji in the distance. This peaceful, scenic spot is sure to fill you with tranquility.
15:40 PM Oshino Hakkai(about 40min)
Finally, we’ll wander into Oshino Hakkai, a charming village famous for its eight crystal-clear ponds fed by Mount Fuji’s snowmelt.

Recommendations and reviews
Kousei was a great tourguide with useful information along the way. He is very calm and not excessive in any way, which was really nice. We got to try cable cars and pirate ship, unfortunately we did not see mount Fuji because of the weather. Just another reason to come back:)
Ciekawa trasa wycieczki, piękne miejsca, sprawna organizacja i bardzo entuzjastyczny przewodnik Jack. Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z tej wycieczki, była ciekawa dla mnie i męża oraz 10 letniego syna.
Very good trip overall. Sadly there was very cloudy weather to where we couldn't see Mt Fuji, but the company can't control that. Jack, our tour guide was very helpful and professional during the trip. He was very communicative and had many helpful tips for each stop we did. The tour takes you to many places around Mt Fuji, doesn't take you to the mountain directly. Would still recomend for anyone visiting. Its much a easier trying to find a bullet train or bus that goes out there.
Merci c'était super !
visite sympathique de beaux lieu à voir la balade en bateaux est vraiment à faire pour voir le paysage qui nous entoure et mention spéciale pour Tom excellent guide 😊
Jack was a really great guide and we had a beautiful day. We were very lucky and had high viability of Mt. Fuji all day.
Very nice tour with beautiful places to visit. The day was very short due to the many places, so we couldn't take the time to visit at our own pace (everything was too fast, about 20mins for each visit). The guide spoke very good English and was very pleasant! Be careful, though, on the return bus journey: we stayed 3 hours without a break so we could at least go to the toilet...
While all the arrangements were great and the tour guide really made sure we would be able to see all the attractions. It felt really rushed and wish our guide was able to spend more time with us explaining history of each of the places.
