Overview

Begin your journey in comfort with a private car or chartered coach, accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide who brings the region’s history and culture to life as you travel through the scenic landscapes of Japan. The tour starts with a visit to Hakone Shrine, a serene Shinto shrine nestled along the shores of Lake Ashi and surrounded by dense forest. Its iconic red torii gate rising from the water creates a peaceful and photogenic setting, offering a perfect introduction to the spiritual heritage of the Hakone area.

From there, enjoy a relaxing cruise across Lake Ashi, traveling from Moto-Hakone to Togendai. As the boat glides over the calm waters, take in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and, on clear days, even a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the distance. The tranquil atmosphere of the lake provides a refreshing break and a chance to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the region.

Upon reaching Togendai, continue your adventure aboard the Hakone Ropeway, an aerial lift that carries you high above the volcanic landscape. The ride offers breathtaking views as you ascend toward the dramatic terrain of Owakudani Valley, an active volcanic zone known for its steaming vents, sulfurous fumes, and rugged scenery. Here, you can explore the unique environment and sample the famous black eggs said to bring good luck and longevity.

After taking in the striking contrasts of Hakone’s natural wonders, the tour concludes with a scenic drive to Shimizu Port. Along the way, enjoy views of the countryside as it transitions from mountainous terrain to coastal landscapes, marking a fitting end to a day filled with cultural discovery and unforgettable sights.
