[Hakone Shrine]
Hakone Shrine, founded by Manmaki Shonin in 1911 on Mount Hakone, has been a sacred place for mountain worship since ancient times. It was revered by many military commanders, such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Hakone Shrine has been a renowned and revered shrine in Kanto as the Great Guardian since ancient times. It is revered as a god of good fortune that is highly effective in traffic safety, fulfilling wishes, success in love, and protection from misfortune.
[Lake Torii] "It's difficult to find a better word to describe the view of Mount Fuji and its silhouette reflected on the lake than the magnificent view.

Hakone Pirate Ship: Motohakone Port ➔ Togendai Port
(Approx. 30 minutes. If you choose not to take the pirate ship, you will be transferred by vehicle to Togendai Ropeway Station. Whether the pirate ship fare is included depends on the package selected at the time of booking.)
The sightseeing boats on Lake Ashi are a major highlight of Hakone, and the pirate ship is definitely the most special choice—cruise across Lake Ashi and soak in the breathtaking scenery!
You can board the sightseeing boats at any of the three lakeside ports: Hakone-machi Port, Motohakone Port, and Togendai Port. The fleet includes three vessels: Royal II (Southern European-style), Victory, and Queen Ashinoko.
We highly recommend departing from Motohakone Port, where you can enjoy stunning views of the giant torii gate, Mount Fuji, and Lake Ashi all at once. On clear days, the shimmering lake surface blends beautifully with the blue sky, creating a truly spectacular view.

The first half of the ride, between Ubako and Togendai, mainly features the scenic crater lake views of Lake Ashi.
[12:00] Owakudani
Owakudani – Experience the Volcanic Atmosphere that Nurtures Hakone's Beauty
(Approx. 50 minutes, free time for exploration)
Located in Hakone, at the southeastern foot of Mount Fuji, Owakudani is one of Hakone's most famous sightseeing spots. This scenic area is a volcanic crater remnant formed by a massive eruption on the northern flank of Kamiyama (the main peak) during the final stages of Hakone's volcanic activity, about 4,000 years ago.
Most of the hot spring water here is toxic, which is why it was originally known as "Jigokudani" (Hell Valley). It wasn't until Emperor Meiji visited in 1876 that the name was changed to the more auspicious "Owakudani" (Great Boiling Valley).
Must-Try Local Delicacy: Black Eggs (Kuro-tamago)
You can optionally purchase and taste Owakudani's famous black eggs! About a 15-minute walk from the entrance of the Nature Study Trail, you'll find the "Tamago-chaya" (Egg Tea House) amidst the rising steam. Their signature black eggs, boiled fresh on-site, come with a legendary saying: "Eat one, and your life will be extended by 7 years."
The eggs turn jet black through a unique natural process: they are boiled for an hour in a hot spring pool at around 80C, then steamed for another 15 minutes at 100C. The black color is caused by a chemical reaction between the iron and hydrogen sulfide in the hot spring water, which forms black iron oxide on the countless pores of the eggshells.
13:50 Yamanashi
Fujiyoshida Town Restaurant (near Mount Fuji)
(Approx. 50 minutes, free time for exploration. Meal expenses are at your own cost.)A popular Japanese restaurant in Yamanashi Prefecture!

Yamanakako Lake, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, has a lakeside area called "Shiratori-hama" because of the abundance of swans that inhabit it. It is not only a great place to see wild birds, but also a great place to take photos of swans with Mount Fuji in the background. The swans here are very friendly because they are often fed by tourists.
[15:40] Yamanashi
Oshino Hakkai (about 40 minutes)
The so-called "Oshino Hakkai" are actually eight springs formed by the snow water from Mount Fuji flowing through the strata. Oshino Hakkai is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery.

It was great!
What a day! We were lucky to see Mount Fuji clearly. The Hakone area was so beautiful and peaceful, I wish we could stay longer.
Excellent one-day escape from Tokyo. You get mountains, hot springs atmosphere, and a bit of history all together.
Smooth transportation, great photo spots, and delicious local snacks. Definitely worth it.
If you want a stress-free way to see Fuji and Hakone in one day, this is the tour to book.
The highlight for me was Owakudani. Such a unique landscape, unlike anywhere else I’ve seen.
The itinerary is just right—not rushed, not too slow. Great for families.
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, always making sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend for first-time visitors to Japan!
A perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. I loved the boat ride and the cable car views.
Seeing Mount Fuji up close and then visiting Hakone felt like two trips in one. The Owakudani valley was unforgettable with the volcanic steam and black eggs.
