Overview

Take a day away from the business of the city and spend a day with a local who has the same interests on this day trip to Hakone from Tokyo. Hakone is a small town in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, which is known for its hot springs and excellent views of Mount Fuji over Lake Ashinoko. As your host shares insights into local life, stroll though the national park, see the red Hakone Shrine, and soak up the rejuvenating waters of a traditional onsen (hot spring bath, at own expense).

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!
