What to expect
A day to take in the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji and the charm of Shonan, starting from Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine, and its torii gate on the lake, taking the Hakone Pirate Ship and aerial cable car through volcanic landscapes, visiting the steaming Owakudani, and finally wandering through Enoshima, Kamakura, where sea breeze and shrines intertwine. A day to experience the natural and cultural landscapes of Hakone and Shonan.
📍 Lake Ashi & Hakone Shrine’s Torii Gate on the Lake The tranquil lake surface, the red torii gate standing in the water, and the silhouette of Mount Fuji in the distance form one of Hakone’s most classic scenes. Stroll along the shrine’s approach, feeling the peaceful atmosphere of history and faith among ancient trees and stone lanterns.
🚢 Hakone Pirate Ship (Motohakone Port to Togendai Port) Board the pirate-themed sightseeing boat and slowly cruise on Lake Ashi. The lake, mountains, and Mount Fuji are all in view on a clear day, and the deck view is perfect for photos.
🚡 Hakone Ropeway The cable car crosses volcanic terrain and forested valleys, offering a bird’s-eye view of Lake Ashi and the Hakone mountains from above. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance, making it one of Hakone’s most classic aerial views.
🌋 Owakudani With volcanic steam constantly rising and the smell of sulfur permeating the air, this is Hakone’s most representative volcanic landscape. Don’t forget to try the famous black eggs here – it’s said that eating one can extend your life by 7 years.
🏝️ Enoshima Cross the Enoshima Bridge, browse the lively Nakamise shopping street with its endless snacks and souvenirs. Visit the 1500-year-old Enoshima Shrine, climb the lighthouse to gaze at Sagami Bay and Mount Fuji in the distance, enjoying the sea breeze and the sunset ambiance.
From lakeside shrines and volcanic wonders to island scenery, this is a relaxing and rejuvenating trip that packs Hakone’s natural landscapes and Shonan’s coastal charm into one day. 📸
Reviews
Visiting Hakone and Enoshima was a fun experience despite the gloomy weather. We enjoyed visiting the unique attractions despite the limited time we had in each stop. Our tour guide, Rachel, was great in explaining each stop’s history and features. We also had a fun time mingling with our nice tour guide. Overall, this experience was all worth it. I highly recommend this tour the next time you visit Japan!
We had an amazing experience in seeing both Hakone and Enoshima! Our tour guide, Shu, is very efficient and fast in securing our tickets so we didn’t have to line and wait for long. Shu is also very knowledgeable when it comes to the places and overall Japan history. It’s just too bad that the tour is pretty packed so not all the places were explored and seen. But nevertheless, it was a good tour and would love to go back and recommend it to friends back home. ❤️
My trip with Wanting today was definitely one of the better tours that I have been on. Wanting was very knowledgeable, giving us a brief history of Japan and the landmarks we were going to visit. Although, some parts of the trip may have seemed a bit rush, that is because the drive back takes a couple hours and they want to get us back at a reasonable time. 💯
Thank you, Wan Ting, have a pleasant trip and enjoy the delicious lobster meal.
A very good excursion with our guide Ko, who speaks English, Mandarin, and Japanese. We were able to visit all the stops as advertised despite the weekend traffic, which delayed our arrival in Hakone. Lake Ashi, the Ropeway, Owakudani, and Enoshima were all on the itinerary. All these stops are definitely worth visiting!
my tour is on 20 April 2026. The driver is on time. The tour guide Evon was clear, engaging and knowledgeable. She did a great job in explaining the history and culture, making it easy to understand.
Nice and Gentle Driver Mr. Fan, he makes sure we are all safe and comfort, although the trip was self guided but he helped us to purchase the additional tour tickets, and thanks for the gift he gave us for bringing luck.
Rachael (Wanting) was an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English and is fluent in 5 languages. She shared information about the place as well as included the cultural aspect around it. 100% recommend Rachael.
it was such a beautiful day for this tour, and our guide Matt Yan made the experience absolutely perfect. He was so knowledgeable, very attentive and had great communication skills. We will definitely be asking for him again. Thanks again Matt. You made our first tour in Japan very enjoyable.
We enjoyed our daytrip to Hakone. Our multilingual guide Wanting was excellent at communication both in person and with frequent Whatsapp updates coordinating meetup points. She kept the large group on-time throughout the day. Would recommend.
