Itinerary
Hakone Jinja
Hakone shrine was founded in the year 757.it is known as a famous "power spot".
Lake Ashinoko
Ashinoko lake is formed when debris avalanche deposits blocked the Hakone River after one of volcanos in Hakone erupted about 3000 years ago. If you want to enjoy scenery from the lake, it’s a good idea to take a cabin cruiser which is in service from four ports of the lake.
Owaku-dani Valley
Owakudani was created some 3000 years ago during the last eruption of Mt. Hakone. White smoke and smell of Sulphur drift around the stone valley and you can feel the volcanic activity.
The Hakone Open-Air Museum
The art works are varied and interesting (by both japanese and western artists), the view is amazing and the curation is perfect. The combination of nature and art at it’s best! There is also a foot bath where you can soak your legs in hot water.

Fun and unique experience
We really appreciate the tour guide, Akira. It would not be possible for us to navigate the logistics of tour to Hakone from Tokyo with public transportation. It's definitely a very fun and unique way to experience the culture.There are so many different lines and connections to make, sometimes we have to combine two tickets and put them through the ticket machine which is something I would never have imagined. Akira is very nice and he knows where the picturesque spots are and he volunteered to take pictures for us. We got to tour the 4 major attractions as planned. It's overall a very rewarding experience for us.

Hakone in the rain
We visited Hakone on a torrentially rainy day which unfortunately did not afford us the ability to catch glimpses of Mt. Fuji. Our tour guide Yumiko San was wonderful. We told her what we absolutely didn’t want to miss - she made sure we didn’t miss. Despite the pouring rain she brought yo us to the Picasso open air museum. She also stayed on for a while longer - so all our must do/must see were done. We would highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable and very patient.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience!
This was, hands down, our favorite tour we took on our Tokyo vacation. We are a family of five and our guide, Harry, made sure we all enjoyed every single second of our trip. There's no way we could've seen all we saw and made all the various connections to the cable car, rope-way, open air museum, shrine, bus without his expert planning. This was money well spent and allowed us to fully enjoy our day instead of worrying that we had walked a mile to wrong bus stop, etc.

Your "hands down" message contributed is of classic tone, yet exceedingly superb for me as a guide of common performance. It was most delightful to know that my guests have enjoyed entirely the day's tour with me. My dearest reminiscence with your lovely photos will be cherished. Warmest regards, Harry Shoji
