Things to do in Owakudani

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Wanting! She spoke four different languages (Japanese, French, Chinese, and English), which made understanding everything much easier. Wanting showed us marvelous landscapes, and the tour schedule was strictly followed. I want to highlight her professionalism from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour.

A great day filled with a variety of amazing sights and experiences even though Mt Fuji was a little shy. Will, our tour guide, was amazing: knowledgeable, friendly, willing to help, a top tier tour guide. I would recommend this tour, and more especially, Will as a tour guide to anyone wanting to have a great day out to Mt Fuji.

Highly recommended tour! Although our group was not able to see Mt. Fuji (because of weather conditions), Ms. Luna (our friendly and cheerful guide) made sure that the trip went smoothly and enjoyable for all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As first-time visitors to Japan from Puerto Rico, we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Wanting! She made our day trip to Mount Fuji and Hakone truly special. We visited the torii gates, explored the volcanic valley (Owakudani), and enjoyed amazing local cuisine.  Wanting was exceptionally attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about local history and culture. She is incredibly talented and speaks multiple languages fluently, which made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the day. Thank you so much, Wanting! 100% recommended!

One of my favorite experiences in Japan! This tour was such a wonderful way to get out of Tokyo and explore the beautiful Hakone and Mount Fuji area. There was so much to see and experience, from the pirate ship cruise on Lake Ashi and the Hakone Shrine’s iconic torii gate to the ropeway ride over the volcanic landscape of Owakudani. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely beautiful, and every stop offered something different. Will was a fantastic guide — friendly, upbeat, and very knowledgeable. He shared interesting facts about each place and even made sure to point out the best photo spots so we could capture some great memories. His enthusiasm really added to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. It’s a great way to see some of Japan’s most beautiful sights in one trip, and an experience I’ll remember fondly!

I really recommend this tour. Great itinerary, and our guide, Luna, was great and made sure to explain the importance and history of every place we've visited. She was also very friendly and helped with taking photos.

Satori was an excellent driver and guide. He kept us on schedule and provided picture updates along the way. He made sure the day was extra special by ensuring we had photo memories as a group. When the lines were long at our stops, he was patient with us. When we were done early at a stop, he kept the tour moving. Very pleasant and stress free experience.

Five stars aren't enough for this tour, purely because of Erik! He is an absolute absolute gem of a guide—handsome, hilarious, and incredibly thoughtful. He navigated the crowded spots like a total pro so we never felt rushed, told fantastic stories along the way, and went above and beyond to make sure every single guest was taken care of. If you get Erik as your guide, consider yourself lucky. 100% recommended!

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!
