Things to do in Hakone Gora Park

This tour of the main sights to see around Mount Fuji was absolutley amazing!!! Our tour guide, Jung Chaeeun, was knowledgeable, kind, funny and a great group shot photographer! This was an incredible way to start out two-week trip in Japan!

The Open-Air Museum is a very interesting museum with a variety of artworks to appreciate. As it's open-air, it'll be best to bring an umbrella for both rain and sun. Definitely allocate as least 2-3 hours when you visit this. It's a great attraction for kids as well as adults.

You don't need to exchange your ticket upon arrival; you can go directly to the boarding line. Just show your e-ticket on your phone to the staff, and you can board immediately. Only those wishing to purchase a special room need to queue to buy it first. We were very lucky with the weather that day; Mount Fuji was clearly visible, and the photos turned out beautifully, like a painting.

The glass art museum is definitely worth a visit. KLOOK's price is the best among all apps, including in-person purchases, and you can buy tickets on the spot, with e-tickets issued in half a minute! Plus, you can even attend a concert, which is an incredible value! If only Pola and Narukawa Museum had online tickets, I would have bought them all together.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best the day we went, but other than that I enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide Jack was extremely friendly, patient & had so much insight and facts to tell us on the drive. And the views were also incredible, even with the rain & fog/clouds.

I really loved having the outdoor hot springs; it was so wonderful! After the hot springs, I relaxed in the relaxation room, even dozing off, then went back to the hot springs again, and it was just fantastic. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other amenities are all provided. I booked in advance through Klook, which made it affordable! It was also nice to explore the outdoor area on the first floor, as there were some great photo spots.

It was a great adventure for us, we were definitely one with nature today. The weather did not work well for us, because of Typhoon Champi we were not able to ride the ship or the cable car and we also weren't able to do as much with the rain and wind. Still Yaya our tour guide was Awesome. She explained things really well and laid out all information for us clearly. She kept people accountable to be on time back at the bus out of respect for others. I believe she did a great job even though the weather was not helpful. I would definitely go on a tour with Yaya as our tour guide again.

Getting there early at 9am there wasn't any crowds and the station was able to hold our large luggage behind the I formation counter for a small fee of 600 yen since the lockers were too small. The earlier you arrive the better your chance to see Mt. Fuji clearly with the clouds low.

We went on a rainy day and this place was like paradise! Both us and the kids had so much fun.
