What you'll see and do
Mount Fuji
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Fuji at several places during this day, along with many other surprises.
20 minutes here
Hakone Turnpike Daikanyama Parking lot
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.
60 minutes here
Hakone Shrine
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.
60 minutes here
Lake Ashinoko
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.
60 minutes here
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.
30 minutes here
Tenzan Tohji-kyo
After the highway trip, scenic road, shrine and lake visit, it will be time to eat, and of course, relax. We will slowly make our way to some of the most beautiful onsen that Kanto has to offer (several choices, depending of your mood and desires). There we will be able to eat local specialities, relax in the thermal water, and even have a massage. Napping next to the water in the relaxation room is also possible, and recommended. 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
120 minutes here · Admission not included
The Hakone Open-Air Museum
After lunch, and relaxation at the onsen, it will be time to take the road again and go to the open-air museum. It holds collections of artworks by Picasso, Henry Moore, Taro Okamoto, Yasuo Mizui, Churyo Sato, Susumu Shingū, and many others, featuring over a thousand sculptures exhibited within 70,000 square meters of green garden. It is both mesmerizing and relaxing, for adults and children alike.
120 minutes here · Admission not included
Pola Museum of Art
If the weather isn't kind, or if you are quick, or interested by both, we will go to Pola Museum, which is indoor. The museum is nestled in a forest of beech trees and hidden in the wooded mountains of Hakone. The award-winning modern architecture blends finds a beautiful contrast and harmony with the surrounding nature. The museum exhibits a world-class collection of Western and Japanese paintings, ceramics, and cosmetic utensils, with a focus on impressionist paintings.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Lake Ashinoko Sky Line
After Lunch, if time permits, we will pass by a second iconic road of the Fuji/Hakone region. It will allow us to have an even closer view on Fuji, on Lake Ashinoko, and even the sea! There are 4 breathtaking panorama along the road and we will stop at each of them.

Wonderful Day Trip from Tokyo
We had a wonderful day! Cyril was great!

Relaxed trip from Tokyo to Hakone with guide Alexis
A relaxed trip from Tokyo to Hakone with native English speaking guide Alexis. Alexis picked us up at our hotel in Tokyo with a luxurious Toyota Alphard. He was our guide and our driver. A very friendly guide. He drove us to Hakone. After a coffee stop at a Local 7-11 we went up the mountain to viewing points. Like most of the times Mount Fuji was hiding itself. We knew this could happen. We went to our first shrine outside Tokyo. Alexis told us al about shintoïsme. About the Torii Gates. First wash your hands and Mount (temizu). She told us about all the kami (Gods); the komainu (guardian dogs; male and female). We learned that we needed to bow twice, make a wish, clap twice, wait and bow once. Alexis made beautiful pictures of us at the Toriii in Lake Ashi. After the shinto shrine we went to an onsen. We wanted to visit an onsen in a beautiful nature envirement. First we had a tipical Japanse lunch. After that we went to the hot baths to enjoy. On the way back we both did a little nap in the very comfortabel chairs of the Toyota Alphard. We had a nice and relaxing day. And we were well informed. Thanks Alexis.

Great tour, fantastic guide
Alexis was a fantastic local friend for the day. Drove us site seeing in the Hakone area and gave us inside tips on getting the best pictures without the long wait. Great attentiveness in arranging our onsen experience and massages. Alexis even went out of his way to help us recover a lost cell phone left in a taxi the day before. Highly recommend this tour and hope you will get Alexis as your guide. Truly exceptional white glove treatment. We now have a friend in Tokyo!

Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature cost?
+
Prices start at ¥149,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature?
+
Around 37 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt. Fuji, Hakone Private Tour from Tokyo - Onsen, Arts and Nature start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
