Full description

This full-day trip pairs Hakone’s volcanic landscape with the lakes on Fuji’s northern side. You ride the Hakone Ropeway over the mountains to Owakudani, a steaming valley where eggs are boiled black in the hot springs, and see Lake Ashi with its red shrine gate standing in the water.

In the afternoon the route continues to Lake Yamanaka and ends at the spring-fed village of Oshino Hakkai before the drive back to Tokyo. A guide travels with you and coach transport is included; the exact order can change with the weather and traffic.
