What to expect
【Owakudani】 Formed by volcanic activity, it features numerous fumaroles and sulfur hot springs. The air is filled with the scent of sulfur, and hot steam rises from the ground, making it feel as if you’ve entered the Earth’s core, creating a powerful visual impact. The local specialty, black eggs, are cooked in sulfur hot springs, and their shells turn completely black due to the sulfidation reaction. 【Hakone Shrine】 Founded in 757 AD during the Nara period by Monk Mankan, it is a guardian shrine for the Kanto region. The shrine is located on the shores of Lake Ashi, surrounded by dense cedar forests, and is known for bringing good luck, warding off misfortune, ensuring safe travels, and praying for good relationships. 【Lawson Convenience Store】 This is a popular Lawson store at the foot of Mount Fuji, famous on social media. Its natural framing makes it a popular spot for Japanese-style phone wallpapers, where you can easily take soft and healing Japanese street photos. 【Chureito Pagoda・Hikawa Clock Shop】 Located in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, it is an iconic photo spot for Mount Fuji. The straight street leads directly to the foot of Mount Fuji, offering a unique atmosphere with Japanese streets and snow-capped mountains in the same frame. 【Arakurayama Sengen Park】 This is a must-visit scenic park in Kawaguchiko. The Chureito Pagoda within the park is an iconic red pagoda. During cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons, you can capture the classic three-tiered scene of the red pagoda, blooming flowers, and Mount Fuji all in one shot, making it a postcard-worthy location.
Reviews
Serina was incredibly thoughtful. Our group came from various places, and only my companion and I, along with another gentleman, spoke Chinese. She would tell us in both Chinese and English where we were going next and where the famous photo spots were, even providing diagrams so we'd know how to get the best shots. Plus, Hakone was very crowded, and we were worried about getting lost. Sometimes, when the main group was ahead, and we got cut off by other groups, she would constantly turn back to check on us. Lastly, I really love Serina's voice; it's so pleasant and gentle. I highly recommend Serina, and I hope to have the chance to join her tour again next time I visit Japan.
Serina is very nice and friendly. She is the most professional tourist guide I have ever met. Very great experience today!
Had a great experience with friends and family. All the stops were beautiful and impressive with a good time schedule. I also want to thank Serina for being very fun, welcoming and kind. The weather was perfect and we got amazing views in Mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms. Thank you again Serina!
serina was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. always a smile and helpful! excellent choice!
There was still some residual snow on June 2nd, and you could clearly see the unobstructed, complete view of Mount Fuji on the way there. The first stop, Lake Ashi, offered excellent scenery, including a full view of Mount Fuji. The lake, Mount Fuji, a torii gate, and a pirate ship made for a stunning landscape. The second stop was Owakudani, where the specialty black eggs were quite tasty. With Hell Valley on one side and the magnificent Mount Fuji on the other, the scenery was truly exceptional. Unfortunately, from the third stop onwards, the weather began to deteriorate, with increasing cloud cover completely obscuring Mount Fuji. The rest of the trip consisted of leisurely walks and enjoying the scenery. Special thanks to our tour guide, Andy, for the smooth itinerary and clear explanations, which made the entire trip very enjoyable!
This trip was perfectly arranged. The amount of time spent at each attraction was just right, allowing us to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji and Hakone without feeling rushed. The experience was very comfortable. Highly recommended!
Our tour guide, Vivien, provided exceptionally attentive service, explaining interesting facts about Mount Fuji throughout the trip and also helping with taking photos and giving directions. The tour bus was clean and comfortable, the view of Mount Fuji from the sea torii gate was distant, and the view from Arakura Sengen Park was close-up. Overall, an amazing experience.
Our tour guide, Yuri, was very knowledgeable and made the history of Mount Fuji and the stories of the attractions come alive. It was like listening to a story, which made the trip a lot of fun and the whole experience more comfortable.
The driver has excellent driving skills, providing a smooth and safe ride throughout. They were punctual with pick-up and drop-off, making our trip to and from Hakone relaxing and enjoyable, with no delays.
seminar is attentive and making sure everyone come back before going to the next destination. Enjoy the trip
