Nice Day Trip to Hakone with Mr. Oishi
wcqrcmv6nw,Apr 8, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00We had a pleasant day trip to Hakone with Mr. Oishi as our guide. He was polite and knowledgeable, and he made sure we stayed on schedule throughout the day. The views of Mt. Fuji were beautiful, and we enjoyed the boat ride on Lake Ashi, the cable car experience, and a relaxing visit to the hot springs. It was a well-organized trip and a convenient way to explore the highlights of Hakone in a single day.
Unforgettable time in Hakone with Mr. Delicious

5.00We had a wonderful and unforgettable day in Hakone!! Even with a rainy cold day that canceled both the cable cars and cruises, Mr. Delicious (our amazing tour guide) took us to some authentic Japanese tea houses and amazing sushi. Fortunately, we did get to go to the shrine, which was beautiful and the hot springs, which was absolutely glorious after our Tokyo marathon on Sunday. I would highly recommend this tour!
