What you'll see & do
- ✓Our first destination is Mt. Fuji, the highest and most iconic mountain in Japan. Our goal is to reach the highest accessible point on the mountain. From late spring to late fall, we typically visit the 5th Station, located at an elevation of 2,300 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy magnificent views of Mt. Fuji. From late November to mid-May, however, the 5th Station is closed due to snow. In that case, we visit one of the following alternative spots: the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, or the 1st, 2nd, or 4th Station.
- ✓You are going to experience a unique and delectable Japanese-style lunch at a restaurant in Gotemba City. A vegetarian option is also available.
- ✓After enjoying lunch, we will make a short stop at a hidden local viewing spot of Mt. Fuji called Gotemba Heiwa Park (Peace Park). The park features many unique structures and monuments, as well as beautiful cherry trees. If you are lucky enough to visit during cherry blossom season, you will be amazed by breathtaking views of pink blossoms set against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji.
- ✓Owakudani literally means "Great Boiling Valley," and it is a renowned volcanic valley known for its sulfur vents and black eggs, which are eggs cooked in hot spring water.
- ✓After enjoying our lunch, we will visit Hakone, one of the most famous hot spring resorts in Japan. Our first activity in Hakone is a scenic sky gondola ride. It is a one-way cable car ride that takes us to Owakudani Valley.
- ✓Our final activity is a lake cruise on a stunning pirate ship! Let's enjoy a 30-minute boat ride that provides beautiful views of Lake Ashi, the iconic Torii Gate, surrounding mountains, and, of course, Mt. Fuji!
- ✓Our last stop is Odawara Station. Passengers taking a bus back to Tokyo will have a 10-minute break at the station. Passengers opting for the Bullet Train, or those with a Japan Rail Pass, will board the Bullet Train at the station. Your tour guide will provide information on how to return to your hotel after disembarking from the Bullet Train at Tokyo Station.
- ✓The bullet train ride from Odawara Station to Tokyo Station takes approximately 35 minutes, and you will arrive at Tokyo Station between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. The tour ends at Tokyo Station.
