See Mt Fuji from the 5th Station, ride Hakone’s ropeway, cruise Lake Ashi, and return from Tokyo by bus on this full-day tour.
“I loved everything about this tour, the tour guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the places we visited. Even though it was cloudy by Mt Fuji, it cleared just long enough for us to get unobstructed pictures. Hakone was lovely and the ropeway was very impressive. The boat ride around the lake was great and just what was needed to cool down a little and relax. We were originally planning on taking the bus back to our hotel but at the last minute decided to take the bullet train back to Tokyo. It was a great experience and much quicker than the bus.”
