What To Expect
Hakone Shrine: Hakone Shrine, situated on the shores of Lake Ashi, is a historically significant shrine known for its sacred atmosphere. The beautiful shrine buildings, harmoniously integrated with the surrounding nature, and the iconic vermillion torii gate seemingly floating on the lake's surface, captivate visitors. The reflection of the torii gate and Mount Fuji in the lake creates a breathtaking view. It is also a popular power spot, attracting many worshippers. From the shrine grounds, you can enjoy stunning views of Lake Ashi and, on a clear day, Mount Fuji. Admission fee: Free
Owakudani: Owakudani, accessible via the Hakone Ropeway, is an active volcanic valley still emitting steam. The strong smell of sulfur and the unique landscape offer a truly otherworldly experience. The black eggs, a local specialty, are said to add seven years to your life if you eat one. Geothermal hot springs also abound, providing a unique opportunity to experience the area's volcanic activity. The surrounding area offers numerous onsen (hot springs), foot baths, and souvenir shops. Admission fee: Ropeway fee separate

5.00Sunny was a great guide and had a wonderful time in Hakone. Only having one full day in Hakone, having a guided tour was the way to go as transport by bus, train and taxi can be time consuming in the area. We were also able to go to sites that were not as easily accessible via public transport. Sunny also was helpful in trying to get to the best Mt Fuji viewing areas.
Excellent personalized tour

5.00We had the best time as a family without our toddler and baby! It was the perfect way for us to see Hakone. We also appreciated that our guide took a few pictures for us along the way since it’s always a little tricky to get one of all of us together!
