What To Expect
Ajisai Bridge
A beautiful vermilion bridge, located near Hakone-Yumoto Station, which is famous as a photo spot. Hydrangea is a flower that blooms in June, and Hakone is also a famous hydrangea, so it was named Hydrangea Bridge.
Hakone Jinja
A shrine with a history of 1,200 years or more. In particular, the Torii (wooden gate) standing on the lake is recently getting popular as a place where you can take unique photos. The vermilion Torii in the clear blue color lake is such a fantastic view!

Eriko was our independent Guide for the day and took care of us

5.00We were happy we got a wonderful guide to take us around Hakone for the day. Eriko met us at train station and assisted us in all transportation means and actvities and was very flexible to what we wanted to do. She spoke good English and translated so much for us. We did part of the Hakone loop, the pitate ship, ate the black eggs which were delicious, wentt to small museum to learn about the volcanic springs we enjoyed in Hakone, saw a beautiful garden, took place in a nice tea ceremony there and Eriko took care of all the communication we needed to make the day enjoyable and fun. I would recommend her for your tour. It was nice not trying to do everything on our own for the day for a change:) We were repsnsible for all transportation, lunch, and event fees throughout the day which we knew.
A perfect Hakone loop!

5.00Atsushi was a perfect guide as we did the entire Hakone loop and even had time to explore the Open Air Museum. We accomplished so much and Atsushi added plenty of informative tidbits along the way - even helping us navigate a very crowded Sunday in Hakone.
Enjoy Hakone - we did!

5.00All in all, a great day out, doing things you probably could do yourself but it takes any stress out of the day having all planned out in a logical and timely fashion. Tatsu was a great guide - no information overload, just enthusiastic detail and explanation of Japanese culture and traditions. The tour was conducted at a pace we were comfortable with and yes, I guess we were lucky wirh the weather but a second perfect day of Mount Fuji views, enjoying the Ashinoko Lake cruise and Odawara steaming Volcano landscape in between the Peace Torii Gate & Shrine and lastly the Gora gardens. Ideally you aditionally need the Hakone freepass, which we purhased at the start of the day.

Best of Hakone

5.00Masami was a complete gem. He was so thorough and you can tell he truly enjoys explaining the culture. He was so methodical and pivoted our trip to ensure some amazing views of Mt. Fuji. Great great tour with a chance to see all the highlights of Hakone. Honestly, I wouldn’t have been able to navigate without a small group tour. The other large groups waited in long lines and traffic.
An absolute must in Hakone!

5.00The tour was an absolute must, easily one of best tour experiences and memorable in the best way. Masami was an absolute joy: kind, considerate, and informative. It was very clear he wanted us to have the best experience possible, and went out of his way to ensure it. Do be aware that the cost of a Hakone Freepass is not included. There are additional entrance fees along the way, as well as paying for lunch. So be sure to take that into consideration.
