Definitely book this trip for a nice day. Tour guide Shun, Yuka, and driver Soga were all great! Good value for the trip that included seeing Fuji on the fifth station, lunch, Hakone cable cart, and the pirate cruise. The cruise was the highlight.

This tour was one of the absolute highlights of our Japan trip! From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. The real gem of the day was our guide, Yoyo—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly enthusiastic. She shared fascinating stories and local insights that brought every location to life. We were lucky to have clear weather and got stunning views of Mt. Fuji—truly postcard perfect. The Hakone cruise and ropeway were equally breathtaking, offering panoramic views that we’ll never forget. Yoyo made sure everyone was comfortable, answered all questions with patience, and even helped with photo spots and tips. Ending the tour with a ride back to Tokyo on the Shinkansen (bullet train) was the perfect touch—fast, comfortable, and efficient. Highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Japan—ask for Yoyo if you can! She made the whole experience feel extra special.

Full description

● Departure from Shinjuku Love Object to Mt. Fuji area
(About 2.5 hours drive)

● Subaru Line and Mt. Fuji 5th Station (about 2300 m on sea level)
From the 5th station, you'll be closer than ever to the summit of Mt. Fuji! Clouds move fast, so keep your eyes peeled for the peak – you might just spot it! And here, you'll also find some great souvenirs to take home and visit the Komitake Shrine.

(If we can't reach the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji because of bad weather or an accident on the road, we'll visit the highest point possible instead!)

●Lunch time (45-60 min)
You're going to love the delicious local meal with a hot pot and a half buffet! Let us know if you have any food restrictions, so we can make sure everyone's happy!

●Hakone Ropeway
Visit the Owakudani volcanic area.
Here, you can purchase the most unique and memorable souvenirs! You can buy the famous black eggs boiled in sulphuric water, heated by the volcano and lava below (please note that the fee is not included).

●Ashi Lake cruise
You'll absolutely love the stunning views of Mt. Fuji from the deck of the ship when it's clear!

● Going back to Tokyo station by bullet train from Odawara Station (typical duration: 34mins)

The time of the train you will ride depends on the traffic the bus encounters on its way to Odawara Station. There are two trains per hour from there, and you can take any of the non-reserved coaches. You can also get off at Shinagawa Station (one stop before Tokyo) and transfer to the Yamanote Line (with the same Shinkansen ticket) to reach Shinjuku or other destinations along the Yamanote Line. Note that the guide will NOT ride the train with you.

The available trains are as follows: (Timetable as of 2025, may vary slightly).
DEP--ARR
17:14--17:48 Kodama #732 for Tokyo
