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

Our tour guide Carl Ma is a caring & helpful guide. He sees to our need during the tour. we have a pleasant & enjoyable tour with him. A 👍 up to him.

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 absolute highlight of our Japan itinerary! ​Escaping the hustle of Tokyo for a day in Mt. Fuji and Hakone was an unforgettable reset. Seeing Mt. Fuji's iconic peak in person is stunning enough, but the real magic of this tour is how every segment feels like a new perspective: ​The Volcanic Vistas: Standing at Owakudani with the sulfur vents below and Fuji rising behind you is surreal. (Don't skip the black eggs!) ​On the Water & Air: Gliding across Lake Ashi on the pirate ship offered breathtaking views, followed by sweeping panoramas on the Hakone Ropeway. ​Stress-Free Logistics: Navigating Hakone's multi-layered transit (buses, ropeways, boats) on your own can be confusing, but this tour seamlessly connects every piece of the puzzle. ​Special thanks to our guide (Yang) and driver for keeping everything punctual while giving us plenty of time to explore. Worth every penny!

Our driver was extremely friendly and engaged in conversation with us. He was able to accomodate our requests. We even arrived at our destination earlier than expected. Would highly recommend again.

This trip was excellent. Our tour guide Matt was super friendly and Great English speaking guide. He gave us all possible recommendations at all places for local food, sight seeing and souvenir shopping. It was a great experience. Please ask for Matt as your guide if you plan to take this one day trip. you will thank me later.

Buying tickets online through Klook saved a lot of time waiting in line. The entire ropeway journey, which takes 30 minutes, passes through the following stations: Togendai Station, Ubako Station, Owakudani Station, and Sounzan Station. With your ticket (QR code), you can stop at each station. It's a single ticket for the whole ride, and each gondola can hold about 15-18 people. Unfortunately, on the return trip, it was crowded, so we had to sit individually, waiting about 1-2 minutes. The gondola offers scenic views from all sides and is very stable, without any uncomfortable swaying. The only minor drawback was that some of the gondola windows were a bit dirty. Price: Affordable, with discounts up to 60% off. It would be a shame not to buy and ride! Convenience of booking with Klook: Easy and instant. You can book directly upon arrival and use it immediately.👍 Service: Initially, I was impatient with the long queue, but the staff's smiles and patient guidance made me feel much more relaxed. Sometimes, due to network issues, it was difficult to scan the QR code, but the staff would kindly ask us to wait a moment and still graciously allow us to use the facilities. It was a very hot day, and I truly admire how these staff members maintained excellent service for everyone. Experience: Highly recommended.

We had such a fantastic experience on this tour. Despite the weather not being particularly kind to us and Mount Fuji deciding to stay hidden for the day, we still got to see and do so much and had a genuinely brilliant day. A huge part of that was down to our guide, Erik. He was fantastic throughout, sharing so many interesting insights, stories and pieces of history along the way. It added so much to the experience and really made the day for us. What surprised us most was just how much you get to experience on this tour. Even without seeing Fuji, we came away feeling like we’d had a really full and memorable day rather than feeling as though we’d missed out. And actually, we’re not disappointed that Fuji didn’t make an appearance, because now we have the perfect excuse to come back! When we do, we’ll be much better prepared and fully armed with all the tips on what to do, what not to do and how to make the most of the area, thanks to Erik. An excellent guide. Thank you, Erik!

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.

I had the pleasure of being accompanied by Ali as my personal driver and guide for my day trip to the Gotemba Premium Outlet. He was punctual, professional, and demonstrated great patience while ensuring my safe transportation. This Klook booking was a worthwhile investment, and I am very satisfied with the comprehensive support provided by Ali.
