Atami

The art museum itself is located on high ground, facing the coastline, with open views, especially beautiful on a clear day. There are also art exhibits to view inside. Moreover, there is point-to-point bus service from Atami Station, making transportation convenient. If you come to Atami, you can stop by. Recommended.

Our tour guide, Sakura, is really like Sakuragi Hanamichi from Slam Dunk! 😂😂😂 He can freely switch between Chinese, English, and Japanese, which is amazing. His explanations of the sights were precise, and he knew exactly what kind of stories I wanted to hear. 😁 Our driver, Mr. Wang, also had excellent driving skills, and I slept very well on the bus. Seeing the fireworks from the boat requires a lottery, and unfortunately, our group drew second to last, so we couldn't get a good spot to watch. A friendly reminder: the view of the fireworks from the top deck is obstructed by the ship's equipment, so maybe the stern of the second deck would be the best viewing spot (but I'm not sure if every boat has the same setup).

This is a less chosen destination, but Izu Peninsula is a really worthwhile visit. I could imagine Mt. Omuro will be more beautiful in spring and summer when its grass is green! Our guide Olivia made things extra special with her kindness, helpfulness, and extraordinary language skills. Til next time!

Serina is very thoughtful, always attentive to our needs, and meticulously arranges every aspect of the itinerary. Throughout the trip, she provided detailed explanations of the unique features of each attraction, which helped us better understand them. She managed the time very well, ensuring that we were neither rushed nor short on time to appreciate each attraction, and that we didn't miss any important sights, making the entire travel experience very pleasant and fulfilling.

This day trip was amazing! Our guide, Yuan, was professional and friendly, and the driver was thoughtful and reliable. The meeting time and location were clearly explained, and they provided support via WhatsApp throughout the day, which was reassuring. The entire tour was in Chinese, and the time spent at each stop was more than enough, making the itinerary very comfortable. The main attractions were absolutely beautiful! First, we went to Lake Ashi to take pictures, and every angle was incredibly photogenic. Then, we visited Hakone Shrine to pray and admire the classic torii gates and lake views. The biggest surprise was the Atami fireworks! ✨ There was no one blocking our view on the steps, and the fireworks exploded right in front of us. I couldn't get enough of watching and taking pictures! There was also time to shop and try local snacks. The whole trip was fulfilling and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

The photo spots for Instagram are really nice. You should go around April or May when more flowers are blooming; it'll be even prettier.

Tour guide Serina is amazing, nice and friendly. The whole day trip is well arranged and we had a great time with the fireworks.

Tour guide was organised and clear in his instructions. He gave some tips, suggestions and recommended trails on how to spend the time given for the places visited. We were given 80 min to explore the Hakone jinjja area. Time given was just right if you do not wait in line for the famous photo spot. Atami fireworks were phenomenal. We were given about 3hrs to have our dinner, shop at the Atami Ginza shopping street and watch the fireworks. A great day in Hakone & Atami indeed!

Excellent day tour and save the time on public transport. Arakurayama park, Mount Fuji Ropeway and Oshino Hakkai.
