Things to do in Hakone Venetian Glass Museum (Glass Forest)

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.

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.

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 had a wonderful day exploring Mount Fuji and Hakone! Mount Fuji was a little shy and stayed hidden most of the time, but luckily, we managed to catch a glimpse of it in the late afternoon! The itinerary was a little rushed, as we had limited time at each destination. We had to make the most of every stop and quickly snap all the photos we wanted! Do note that there isn't really time allocated for lunch, although a few stops have convenience stores where you can grab some snacks to keep hunger at bay. Our tour guide, Diffany, was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. She was also bilingual, which made the tour even more enjoyable. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and the tour was definitely worth it! Highly recommended!

Highly recommended if you wanted to go to the Gotemba outlets and enjoy a relaxing Onsen hot spring after a long day of shopping. the tour was well coordinated and the itinerary was well maintained and followed to avoid any wasted time. our driver, Ms Rika was very accommodating and helpful throughout our tour. She was prompt picking us up at our hotel and she drove safely and didn’t loose much time despite the rain, the traffic, and accidents along the way. She made sure that we used our time wisely at the outlets and guided us on our way to Kohana-No-Yu Onsen hot springs near Mt Fuji.

Our guide Ms Yui is friendly, helpful and explained our activities thoroughly. we had a good time and enjoyed all the activities - Mt Fuji 5th station, Gotemba outlet, cable car, pirate ship and Owaku valley. the driver is good and punctual.

Matt is a very good guide. He is knowledgeable and shares about Mount Fuji and Hakone. Moreover, he memorizes all our names and is very patient and doesn't get angry. The sceneries are beautiful today and the weather is pretty awesome just that there are some clouds in the afternoon. There isn't time to eat so I ate lunch on the bus.

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

Even though there was a traffic jam, Ko our guide didn't cut any of the attractions which was very kind of him. it's not his fault we got back late. it was a good day trip. Will recommend to everyone.
