What to expect

  1. Lake Ashinoko
    1h
    Located at the base of Mount Hakone, Lake Ashi is a peaceful volcanic lake known for its stunning views of Mount Fuji. A ride on the famous pirate ship offers a refreshing breeze and a perfect vantage point to see the red torii gate and lush mountains—a quintessential Hakone moment.
  2. 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Sailing across the scenic Lake Ashi, the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise is world-renowned for its vintage European-style pirate ships. As the vessel glides through the water, passengers can admire the distant Mount Fuji and the surrounding mountains reflected on the surface. This harmonious blend of lake and mountain scenery creates a magnificent landscape, adding a romantic and unforgettable touch to any journey. (Please note: The Sightseeing Cruise / Pirate Ship ticket is NOT included in the tour price. Guests can purchase tickets at their own expense.)
  3. Hakone Ropeway
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The Hakone Ropeway traverses volcanic landscapes and mountain canyons, offering a panoramic view of the region's breathtaking scenery. As the gondola ascends, you can look down upon the plumes of white sulfur steam rising from Owakudani and the vast mountain vistas. On clear days, the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji appears in the distance, making this an unmissable aerial adventure in Hakone. (Ropeway ticket is included)
  4. Owaku-dani Valley
    50m
    Owakudani is one of Hakone’s most iconic volcanic landmarks, formed by an eruption approximately 3,000 years ago. Today, plumes of white sulfurous steam still rise from the earth, filling the air with a faint scent of sulfur—a raw and powerful display of nature’s primal energy. Visitors can witness this spectacular volcanic landscape up close and savor the famous "Kuro-tamago" (black eggs), adding a touch of local flavor and good fortune to their journey.
  5. Lake Yamanaka
    20m
    Lake Yamanaka, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes, is a premier location for taking in a full, panoramic view of Mount Fuji. The lake’s waters are clear and expansive; on calm, sunny days, the "Upside-down Fuji" reflects perfectly on the surface, creating a scene of profound serenity and grandeur. Surrounded by nature’s embrace, the lake offers a sense of pure healing and tranquility through every season.
  6. Oshino Hakkai
    40m
    Oshino Hakkai, nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji, consists of eight natural springs fed by snowmelt that filters through volcanic layers. These crystal-clear ponds are designated as a National Natural Monument and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. With traditional thatched-roof houses set against a tranquil pastoral backdrop, this village exudes a classic Japanese charm, making it a premier spot for photography and Mount Fuji views.
