Overview
Experience Japan like a local, far from the crowded and usually frequented places. This private day trip from Tokyo to Hakone includes hotel pickup and a scenic drive with views of Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi, and historic shrines along the way. In Hakone, you can relax in a traditional hot spring onsen or visit the Hakone Open-Air Museum, where art and gardens create a unique setting. The journey itself is part of the experience, following mountain roads that reveal changing landscapes and quiet corners away from the usual tourist paths. Because the tour is private, the day is fully flexible and shaped around your interests, whether that means more time outdoors, cultural discovery, or simply a slower pace. Onsen Notes: • All onsens we visit are tattoo friendly • Private baths can be reserved on request, around 13,000 JPY for two hours, subject to availability

Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Fuji at several places during this day, along with many other surprises.
⏱ 20 min - 2
We will begin the trip with one if not the most scenic road of the Fuji/Hakone region. The road itself has many panoramas and from the top observatory, there is an incredible view of all the valley, Hakone, and Fuji. Even in case of rain, it is so foggy and green that it is an incredible atmosphere.
⏱ 1 hour - 3
The Hakone Shrine is a Japanese Shinto shrine on the shores of Lake Ashii. It was founded in 757 and contains a Tori (red gate), several shrines and buildings, some souvenir shops and a museum. It is one of the most beautiful shrines in the region, lost in nature.
⏱ 1 hour - 4
We will then reach Lake Ashi, where we will stop at several famous Torii Gates (traditional Japanese gates most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine) and Shrines.
⏱ 1 hour - 5
We will then stop at Amazake Chaya, a traditional teahouse along the old Tōkaidō road. Hidden in the cedar forests of Hakone, it has welcomed travelers for more than 400 years. Inside, the wooden beams darkened by centuries of hearth smoke create an atmosphere of warmth and history. Here you can taste amazake, a sweet, non-alcoholic rice drink once offered to weary pilgrims, along with simple local snacks. It is more than a teahouse, it is a living remnant of Edo-period travel culture, where the spirit of hospitality has been carefully preserved.
