Experience Japan like a local, far from the crowded and usually frequented places. Focus on relaxation and well-being without neglecting scenery and culture. We will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Hakone, one of Japan's most beautiful hot-spring towns. From there we will take scenic roads only, bringing you to magnificent panoramas of Mt Fuji, Hakone, the Sea of Japan, lakes, and temples.
Once the hunger settles in, we will reach a special place where you will be able to experience delicious authentic Japanese cuisine (no bento box on a plastic table, except if you want to, of course) and indulge in some of the region's best onsen.
After this relaxing time, we will once again take the road and finish our day at an incredible nearby museum, open air with a beautiful garden if the weather permits, or mesmerizing architecture if it rains.
As this is a private tour (with a private guide), you can tailor every step and detail to your preferences, or leave it up to us.

Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Fuji at several places during this day, along with many other surprises.
Hakone Turnpike Daikanyama Parking lot
We will begin the trip with one if not the most scenic road of the Fuji/Hakone region. The road itself has many panoramas and from the top observatory, there is an incredible view of all the valley, Hakone, and Fuji. Even in case of rain, it is so foggy and green that it is an incredible atmosphere.

Cannot say enough good things about Elie and this tour. Super comfortable vehicle, very knowledgeable driver and beauty that we did not expect to see. Would absolutely do this again and take another tour with Elie! The trip to the Pola museum was also great!

We had an outstanding tour of Hakone with Elie. Although the fog prevented us from seeing Mt. Fuji, the experience was excellent from start to finish. Elie was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable, making the day both enjoyable and informative. He also went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs, ensuring that suitable food options were available throughout the tour. His flexibility and attention to detail truly enhanced the experience. Even without a view of Mt. Fuji, the tour was memorable and rewarding thanks to Elie’s expertise and thoughtful guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a visit to Hakone.

Great private experience off the beaten track. Very individual and flexible. Lots of background information about country and people. Ideal for those who like it comfortable and relaxed. We would book this tour again anytime.

We had a great experience we Elie during our Hakone tour. He was very responsive and proactive, knowledgeable and extremely patient. He even provided us with extra time, even tough he was aware that it would cause for a longer commute back due to traffic. The sites are out of this world and the experience was amazing. Defiantly one of the highlights of our trip.

Luca was our guide for the day and was very kind and informative about the temple we saw near Lake Ashi. He was very flexible about the schedule, as we wanted to skip the onsen to be able to see the Pola and Open Air Museums. I HIGHLY recommend making time for the museums, as they were wonderful. Lucas was so kind and even waited for us outside the Open Air Museum with umbrellas as it started to rain. All in all, this was a nice last day of our trip, and again can't recommend seeing the museums enough!
