5.00I went to Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, which is difficult to visit on other tours. There were few tourists, and it was a very quiet place surrounded by seven cedar trees over 1200 years old. You can also experience wearing a kimono (Japanese clothes) and taking pictures with a panel of Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, and five-story pagodas on your back.

5.00I wore a kimono for the first time in 40 years. While it was somewhat embarrassing, I felt like I experienced Japanese culture. I recommend it to everyone.

5.00This is a full and satisfying tour of Lake Kawaguchi and Hakone in one day. It was a comfortable bus and the guides were very interesting and informative. Lake Kawaguchi, kimono experience, flower garden of Oishi Park, especially Asama Shrine surrounded by large cedar trees was less crowded and it was impressive to be able to visit quietly away from the bustling resort area. Owakudani in Hakone is amazing and I wish I could have stayed a little longer. It's not often you get to experience this much on a day trip. I think it is especially recommended for those who don't have time but want to see both Mt. Fuji and Hakone at once.
We had a great time here

5.00It was very convenient to be able to visit Mount Fuji and Hakone together. Seeing Mount Fuji multiple times was truly moving! In Hakone, the black boiled eggs we ate at Owakudani were very yummy.

5.00I have been to Hakone before, but seeing the beautiful Mt. Fuji up close was a great memory of my trip to Japan. It was difficult to arrange trips to Mt. Fuji and Hakone separately, so I was glad to be able to visit them together.
Odakyu Mt. Fuji tour is soooo good !

5.00The weather was great, and not only could we see Mount Fuji clearly, but we also learned about its history, which was wonderful. In Hakone, we enjoyed the ropeway. I think it was a very convenient tour to go together.

5.00I saw the perfect Mt. Fuji. It is also nice to be able to go to both Fuji Five Lakes and Hakone. Travelling from the Fuji Five Lakes area to Hakone on your own is quite difficult, so this tour course is valuable.
Amazing tour of Fuji-San
