This is a private City Unscripted experience, designed around you—not a fixed itinerary.

After booking, you'll receive an online Personalization Form where you can share your interests, priorities, and travel style. Your Local Host will then contact you directly to create an itinerary tailored to what you'd most like to experience in Hakone.
Hakone is a destination where weather, transportation schedules, seasonal conditions, and visitor numbers can significantly influence the day. Rather than following a fixed route, your Local Host may adjust the order of stops or recommend alternative transport options to avoid long queues and help you make the most of your time.
When weather and visibility allow, your host will happily take you to viewpoints that offer memorable views of Mount Fuji. However, as these conditions are beyond anyone's control, sightings cannot be guaranteed. If seeing Mount Fuji is the primary reason for your trip, our Kawaguchiko day trip is specifically designed to maximize opportunities for mountain views and may be a better choice.
This is a private walking experience, and no private vehicle is included. Your Romancecar limited express train tickets and Hakone Freepass are included, while additional public transportation or local taxis may be recommended where appropriate. Any additional transportation costs will be discussed with your Local Host before or during your experience.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

A great tour but not for one day

Roger_S, Aug 2018

The tour was great as well as the tourguide. I would suggest to do this tour in two days. For one day to get there and back is to far. But overall a great experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your feedback! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the tour and your guide. Splitting the experience into two days sounds like a great suggestion for making the journey more manageable. Glad it was a memorable experience overall!
