What To Expect
Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)
Kotoku-in is home to the Great Buddha of Kamakura, one of Japan's most famous statues. This massive bronze Buddha stands at 13.35 meters tall and has survived natural disasters since the 13th century. This statue is unique because you can actually go inside it to see its internal structure. It symbolizes serenity and provides a great place to reflect while walking around the grounds. Please note that you can only see this option if you choose the tickets option”
Lake Ashi Wild Grass Garden
Next, you’ll head to Lake Ashi, a volcanic lake formed thousands of years ago, surrounded by mountains and forests. Relax and enjoy a cruise (10 minutes) on Lake Ashi, with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji in the distance and the famous red torii gate of Hakone Shrine floating on the lake. Please note that you can only take the cruise if you choose the option with the cruise included.

2.00Language was both English and Spanish, though the guide used the latter more. Better engagement while in Spanish, hope it can be equally applied in English. Weather wasn't good and couldn't see Mt. Fuji nor the boat ride, but otherwise got back safe and on time.

5.00Lots to do! Long day but very informative and see a lot of different areas. Even if the clouds are there covering the mountain, you see enough other parts that make it worth while.
