Hakone & Mount Fuji Trips & Tours

Mount Fuji cuts a striking figure beyond the soothing hot springs of Hakone.
Majestic, misty and famous the world over, Mount Fuji is the tallest peak in Japan — it stands at over 3,700 metres-above-sea-level — forming inspiration for countless poems, paintings, and works of art. The hiking is epic, to say the least. Sitting in its splendid shadow, the Hakone region is endowed with steaming onsen (hot springs) and charming ryokans. Incredible views await as you cruise upon the waters of placid Lake Ashi, ride the Hakone Ropeway into the mountains or stand beneath the Chureito Pagoda — it's especially photogenic during cherry blossom season. Hakone's open-air museum and the ancient Hakone Shrine and its 'floating' torii gates are cultural treasures amidst the natural splendour.
