Overview
Discover the timeless beauty of Japan on a curated journey through the heart of Hakone and its surrounding treasures, beginning with a private pickup from your hotel in Tokyo for your utmost comfort. As you travel through the serene roads of Hakone, renowned for its mineral-rich hot springs, you’ll be treated to stunning vistas of Mt. Fuji, the Izu peninsula, and the calming presence of Lake Ashi. A highlight of the day is a visit to Hakone Shrine, where the centuries-old torii gates rise gracefully from the water, surrounded by tranquil forests.

The experience will flow seamlessly into a carefully selected local meal, where authentic flavors meet the artistry of Japanese cuisine, after which you will be able to choose your afternoon—either unwinding further in the thermal baths and a massage, or exploring cultural gems like the Hakone Open-Air Museum or the Pola Museum of Art.
