What To Expect
Travelers will glide high above Hakone’s stunning landscape aboard the Hakone Ropeway gondola. As they ascend from Sounzan to Owakudani, they’ll witness dramatic volcanic steam vents and the unique scenery of the “Great Boiling Valley.” On clear days, the view opens up to the majestic Mt. Fuji and the sparkling waters of Lake Ashi below. The entire ride offers a panoramic journey through Hakone’s natural beauty — a perfect mix of adventure and breathtaking sights.
Owaku-dani Valley
Owakudani, known as the “Valley of Hell,” is an otherworldly landscape formed by volcanic activity. Here, travelers can witness steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and the dramatic power of nature up close. A highlight is tasting the famous “black eggs,” boiled in the hot sulfur springs and said to add seven years to your life. With its surreal scenery and cultural quirks, Owakudani offers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that is both thrilling and uniquely Japanese.

5.00Our guide Keiji was a funny, smart, and personable, making him exceptional on this tour through Hakone. He passed on deep knowledge of the history and customs of the region, and of Japan in general, in fun and interesting ways, using his experience living both in Japan and abroad to help connect Japanese history and customs to global history. Having an expert to guide us through the many different forms of transportation made the day easy and let us see lots of Hakone with minimal fuss. Plus he parted the clouds magically so we could see Mt Fuji!!! Highly recommended.
Wonderful tour

5.00Our tour guide Tak was awesome! We did a private tour with him and he took great care of us! He even made sure Mt. Fuji didn’t have any cloud cover for us! 😉 he was very knowledgeable and showed us around the Hakone area. It was nice to not worry about where to go or how to get there.
Breathtaking

5.00This is a breathtaking tour, made far more interesting by our guide, Hina. In addition to the breathtaking Mount Fuji, the temple in Hakone and the lake cruise (on a pirate ship no less!) Hina guided us to small temples and shrines near Fuji, the black eggs cooked in hot sulphur springs and the best bakery on the lake shore. The scenery is every bit as spectacular as expected and we hope Hina's grandmother enjoyed her black egg!
