FULL INITERARY

Departure from Shimizu Port

Meet your professional English-speaking guide at Shimizu Port and board an air-conditioned coach. As the tour begins, your guide will introduce the cultural significance of Mt. Fuji in Japanese history and the highlights you’re about to explore.

Visit Hakone Shrine

Have a day of stunning hotspots with the first stop - Hakone Shrine at the bottom of Mount Hakone in the dense forest. You will see giant gates in the lake and the main street of Moto-Hakone. The shrine performs a spectacular view and always beautiful during the year. There are a series of steps with sparkling and colorful lanterns surrounding the forest to the main site.

Lake Ashi Cruise (Viking Boat)

Step aboard a uniquely designed Viking-style cruise boat and glide across the still waters of Lake Ashi. As you cruise from Motohakone Port to Togendai Port, soak in panoramic views of the mountains and, on clear days, catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji rising in the distance.

Hakone Ropeway to Owakudani Valley

Take to the skies with a scenic ropeway ride that offers breathtaking views over the volcanic landscape. The aerial journey leads you to Owakudani, a dramatic valley of steaming vents, hot springs, and surreal terrain created by past eruptions.

Owakudani Valley Experience

Explore the iconic Owakudani Valley - a geothermal wonderland where volcanic activity is visible up close. Savor a taste of the region’s famous “black egg,” boiled in natural hot springs and said to add years to your life. On a clear day, the area offers unforgettable views of Mount Fuji framed by sulfuric steam.

Leisurely Return to Port

After your adventure in Hakone, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to the cruise terminal in time for your ship’s departure, bringing with you memories of Japan’s majestic landscapes and rich culture.
