General Description Experience the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Hakone on this day trip from Tokyo, a destination renowned for its breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, scenic boat cruises, and volcanic landscapes.

Our journey begins at Shinjuku Station, where we will board a train to Odawara, the gateway to Hakone. From there, we will take a local train or the Hakone Tozan Railway to Hakone-Yumoto Station. Occasionally, direct trains to Hakone are available, though they tend to be limited during peak season. Alternatively, we may take a direct bus from Odawara.

Upon arrival at Hakone-Yumoto, we will take a bus to Lake Ashi, where we will embark on a scenic boat cruise. This relaxing ride offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, and on clear days, you'll be able to see the iconic Mount Fuji reflected in the water. While in the area, we will also visit Hakone Shrine (Hakone Jingu), a beautiful Shinto shrine nestled in the forest, famous for its striking red torii gate standing in the lake.

Next, we will take a lunch break near Lake Ashi, where you can savor local specialties such as soba noodles, tempura, and other traditional Japanese dishes. If you prefer a quick meal, Hakone-Yumoto Station offers excellent dining options that you can enjoy on the way back (lunch is not included).

From the pier, we will take another boat ride on Lake Ashi to Togendai, where we will board the Hakone Ropeway. This scenic cable car ride provides breathtaking aerial views of Hakone National Park as we ascend towards the Owakudani Volcanic Valley. Famous for its sulfuric steam vents and hot springs, Owakudani offers short hiking trails and the chance to taste the legendary black eggs, which are boiled in volcanic water and are believed to extend your lifespan.

To conclude our adventure, we will take a bus back to Hakone-Yumoto, where we will board a train to Odawara. From there, we will return to Tokyo, arriving at Shinjuku Station around 5:00 PM, after a full day of breathtaking scenery, cultural discoveries, and unforgettable experiences in Hakone.
