This is the ideal tour for travelers wanting to discover Hakone's highlights efficiently in a private vehicle accompanied by a government-licensed and experienced English-speaking guide! Join us to visit the beautiful mountain resort town of Hakone. Nestled in the mountains, Hakone is a place of natural and artistic wonders. Visit Owakudani to see the ever-rising sulfurous gasses from the active volcano that provides heat to the many hot springs nearby. Try the area’s famous black-boiled eggs; turned black and infused with the minerals from the spring. Ride the ropeway down the mountain to Lake Ashinoko for a beautiful view of Mount Fuji. Sail across the lake to visit the Torii gate by the Kuzuryu shrine to the area’s 9-headed dragon deity. If you are an art fan, try visiting one of the many art museums in Hakone.

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 a symbol of Hakone. The lake's shores are mostly undeveloped, except for small towns in the east and north and a few lakeside resort hotels. The best views of the lake with Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone and from the Hakone Detached Palace Garden.
Hakone Shrine
Hakone-jinja Shrine is a tranquil place of worship with a history stretching back more than 12 centuries. Its buildings have been destroyed by fire and rebuilt several times, yet the shrine and surrounding forest retain an atmosphere of both peace and mystery.

Great private tour of Hakone with our guide Ryuta. Ryuta was very knowledgeable about the local history and sites and was very flexible to arrange our tour around our family’s interests. Would definitely recommend to other families.

This review is strictly for our tour guide, Kumi Aoki. Originally we scheduled for a private all day tour and vehicle in Hakone but a few weeks before our trip we were informed that the tour company could secure a vehicle for the day. We were given the choice of cancelling or to keep our tour guide and be responsible for transportation. Luckily, we decided to keep our tour guide, Kumi, because she was amazing and totally made our trip to Hakone a memorable one! She also helped us arrange transportation to the train station after our tour. I highly recommend a private tour guide, especially when travelling to another country. With Kumi, she made sure we hit all the important sights and that we stayed on schedule. She was able to knowledgably talk to us about each location that we visited and taught us things we would have never learned on our own. She was so friendly and caring. She was great with our two young children and my elderly mother. If you are in Hakone and have the choice, make sure to request Kumi. She is the BEST!
