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.

    This was a fantastic tour especially because our tour guide, Hiro, was so knowledgeable with not only the culture and history of Japan, but also all of the ins and outs of avoiding crowds and accessing the best lines when boarding the various transportation. We had a memorable and beautiful experience.

  • Fantastic Day in Hakone with Yoshi

    Our tour of Hakone was a highlight of the trip, thanks to Yoshi’s expertise. He provided great historical context at the Hakone Checkpoint and the shrine that we wouldn't have known otherwise. The itinerary is well-balanced between the nature views at Owakudani and the more cultural stops. Having a nationally licensed guide like Yoshi made the day very smooth, and he was able to tailor the pace to our interests. Excellent service and well worth the booking.

  • Mr Hiro was amazing! So...

    Mr Hiro was amazing! So many good and fun stories. He was so efficient and we were able to see everything we planned and even stop for a delicious lunch. Highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to make their Hakone visit memorable

  • Very enjoyable to have a day being toured about with no need for us to do all the advance planning.

    We had Mr. Toshihisa as a guide for a day in Hakone. We might have been able to do the route ourselves but it was great to have a day with no planning, it was all done ahead of time by Toshi. We got an early start to avoid spending too much time in queues, which was great. Toshi is very knowledgeable and shared many explanations, stories and anecdotes with us, which was most appreciated. The Hakone FreePass made it very easy to navigate all of the various styles of transportation - highly recommended. Overall for us, this was a great experience.
