What To Expect

1

Lake Ashinoko

Lake Ashinoko (芦ノ湖, Ashinoko) was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano's last eruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone. The lake's shores are mostly undeveloped except for small towns in the east and north and a couple of lakeside resort hotels. The best views of the lake in combination with Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone (a few steps south from the sightseeing boat pier), from the Hakone Detached Palace Garden and from the sightseeing boats cruising the lake.

  • Wonderful tour with Hiro!

    Hiro was an exceptional guide—deeply knowledgeable and incredibly friendly, sharing captivating insights into Hakone’s culture, Japanese history, and Kanji characters. The pirate ship cruise on Lake Ashi and the gondola ride to Owakudani were exhilarating, with Hiro’s savvy shortcuts securing us the best seats. He introduced us to a yosegi-zaiku craftsman for unique souvenirs, elevating our experience. Hiro’s expertise and warmth made our tour seamless and memorable—highly recommend!

  • Limited knowledge leading to sub par experience

    Unfortunately, this tour did not meet expectations. The guide was not from Hakone and had limited knowledge of the area, local attractions, or timing—which led to confusion and delays. He also arrived late to meet us. Prior to the tour, we were asked to suggest what we wanted to do, which meant I had to research the area myself—defeating the purpose of hiring a guide in the first place. I would have given 2.5 stars but am rounding up to 3. Regrettably, I can’t recommend this experience.

  • Great tour and great guide!

    Excellent tour - Hide was an amazing, informative guide, with a nicely curated itinerary, which covered all the places around Hakone that i was interested in. We covered alot of ground, but it was all done with nice conversation and informative facts about the local surroundings. I would highly recommend this tour.

  • Great experience in Hakone

    Our Hide guide was excellent. Very patient, professional, friendly and concerned that we lived all the possible nature experiences that Hakone offers and its spectacular views on each tour. One day it was too little to explore the beauty of Hakone nature. A day is also needed for museums (which are very special) and rest time in the ONSEN hot spring baths. Great tour super recommended.

  • Sights, culture and history - awesome tour!
