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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Will was an incredible tour guide! We had such a fun experience and Will was very informative and energetic. He kept telling us the places to go to avoid picture lines, gave us food recommendations, and gave us so much knowledge into the area. Fuji just barely showed up at the very end of the trip

Despite the bad weather and rain ☔️, the experience was good and relaxing. We weren't able to enjoy everything the boat offered, but I still recommend it. I presented the voucher, and it took a little while because they weren't fully equipped, but everything went smoothly in the end.
