Itinerary
The 5th Station on Mount Fuji serves as the gateway to the iconic peak, offering spectacular panoramic views from an elevation of 2,300 meters. This bustling outpost provides a unique opportunity to feel the mountain's scale and explore shops and a shrine. Please note: in case of poor visibility or severe weather conditions on Fuji, this visit will be replaced with a trip to the beautiful Oshino Hakkai springs village. This ensures a memorable experience showcasing Fuji's beauty from a different, equally stunning perspective.
Nestled in the Hakone caldera with the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji as its backdrop, Lake Ashinoko is a scenic masterpiece. Visitors can cruise its serene waters on replica pirate ships, passing the famous torii gate of Hakone Shrine seemingly floating on the lake's surface. This tranquil setting, formed by a volcanic eruption millennia ago, offers breathtaking views and a profound sense of peace amidst the mountains.
Soaring above the volcanic valley of Ōwakudani, the Hakone Ropeway provides breathtaking, panoramic views of Hakone's iconic landscape. Glide over steaming vents and sulfurous fumes while enjoying unparalleled vistas of Lake Ashinoko and, on clear days, the majestic peak of Mount Fuji. This thrilling aerial journey is not only a scenic highlight but also the primary access to the region's famous black eggs, boiled in the hot springs below.
