Mount Fuji & Hakone Excursion (Group Departure Special)

Discover Mount Fuji and Hakone

This full day excursion departs from central Tokyo to reach the iconic Mount Fuji and the surrounding hot spring town of Hakone. The trip is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the region, starting with a journey to the Mount Fuji 5th Station. From this elevated vantage point, visitors can view the mountain slopes, provided that the weather and road conditions allow for safe access. The tour continues into the heart of Hakone, an area renowned for its volcanic activity and natural scenery.

Natural Landmarks and Attractions

A major highlight of the experience is the transit through the Owakudani Volcanic Valley. Here, visitors can observe the active sulfur vents and dramatic landscape that defines the region. The Hakone Ropeway offers an aerial perspective of the valley and the surrounding mountains. Following the ropeway transit, the tour includes a boat ride on Lake Ashi. This cruise provides a different perspective of the water and the nearby hills. The schedule also incorporates stops at significant cultural and natural sites, such as the Hakone Shrine, the village of Oshino Hakkai, and the shores of Lake Yamanaka.

Planning Your Excursion

The tour is structured as a group departure and is suitable for those looking to see multiple landmarks in a single day. Travelers can choose between meeting at Tokyo Station or Shinjuku Station for their departure. Throughout the day, an expert guide provides information in English, Chinese, or Japanese to assist with navigation and cultural context. All necessary transportation is managed via air-conditioned vehicles, ensuring comfort during the transit between Tokyo and the Fuji-Hakone area. Please note that the exact nature of the itinerary remains subject to adjustments based on daily traffic and climate conditions.

Practical Trip Information

Before your departure, you will receive an email containing the contact details for your guide and the license plate number of the vehicle assigned to your group. This information is sent the night before the trip. Because the tour involves travel to high altitudes and varied terrain, guests with specific health concerns, including hypertension or heart conditions, are recommended to bring a companion. The tour provides a structured way to experience the transition from the city streets of Tokyo to the landscapes of central Japan.
