Begin your private Hakone day trip from Tokyo with convenient hotel pickup or pickup from your selected location. Travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a smooth journey without crowded trains, complicated transfers, or carrying luggage through busy stations.
Begin your Hakone sightseeing with the famous Hakone Ropeway, one of the best ways to experience Hakone's mountain and volcanic scenery. Ride above the mountains and enjoy panoramic views of Hakone, Lake Ashi, and the surrounding landscape. On clear days, you may also have views of Mt Fuji.
Continue to Owakudani, Hakone's famous volcanic valley, and spend approximately 2 hours enjoying the Hakone Ropeway and Owakudani area. See natural volcanic steam, dramatic landscapes, and mountain viewpoints. You can also try Owakudani's famous black eggs when available.
After Owakudani, visit Hakone Shrine, one of the most famous cultural attractions in Hakone. Surrounded by tall cedar trees beside Lake Ashi, the shrine offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. See the iconic red torii gate beside Lake Ashi and explore the historic shrine grounds.
Continue to Lake Ashi and enjoy a scenic Lake Ashi sightseeing cruise. Relax on board while enjoying views of the surrounding mountains and Hakone's natural scenery. When weather conditions are clear, Mt Fuji may be visible from the lake.
Next, visit the Hakone Open-Air Museum, one of Japan's best-known outdoor art museums. Explore its spacious grounds surrounded by mountains and nature, with sculptures and artworks displayed throughout the open-air setting.
Continue to Hakone-en and experience the Komagatake Ropeway, a separate ropeway from the Hakone Ropeway. Ride toward the summit of Mt Komagatake and enjoy panoramic views over Lake Ashi and the Hakone mountains. The open-air mountain scenery offers a different perspective of Hakone.
Depending on weather, road conditions, and available time, an optional Mt Fuji 5th Station or Gotemba Premium Outlets stop may be possible. These optional stops can add mountain views, photography, or shopping to your private Hakone tour.
After completing your Hakone sightseeing, return to Tokyo comfortably by private air-conditioned vehicle with convenient drop-off at your accommodation or selected location.
