Our tour guide, Lucas, was very kind and knowledgeable. There was a slight delay at the start because one guest didn’t show up, but he handled the situation very well and it wasn’t a big deal. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji on a perfect day—no clouds in the sky and everything was crystal clear. It was such a wonderful experience!! ✨

Erik was our tour guide and he was amazing! he toured and guided us well during this day trip. he’s also very accommodating. we’ve had previous tours in Japan before but this is the first time we actually had an English speaking tour guide which made it easier for us to understand the details and history that the tour guide shared.

One of the best day trips of our lives!! 🥰 Mt Fuji is absolutely magical, Owakudani is also worth visiting! The tour was very well organized, and left plenty of time to enjoy all of the spots. Our guide Lee was very considerate and pleasant, giving us clear instructions and facts about all the stations. Tip: Bring CASH! For Pirate ship drive and Owakudani, they accept only cash there.

It was the highlight of our Japan trip! There was a bit of snow, but it just made it better that we experienced snow for the first time. There was a bit of an incident (my mom and sister got lost), but our tour guide, Eric, was a lifesaver! He was very helpful and accommodating to us! 🌟 Highly Recommended Trip!

The tour was well organized and covered many highlights including Hakone, the pirate ship cruise on Lake Ashi, and beautiful views of Mt. Fuji. Our guide Tom was friendly and provided helpful information throughout the trip. On the way back the bus had a small issue, but Tom and the team handled the situation quickly and professionally, ensuring everyone returned safely. Overall, it was a great and worthwhile experience. 👍

What to know about Owakudani

Owakudani (Ōwakudani) is an area around a crater of the Mount Hakone volcano, which erupted approximately 3,000 years ago. It's famous for its active volcanic activity, where you can see sulfurous fumes rising from the steam vents and bubbling pools. While you're there, you have to try the famous black eggs, called kuro tamago. These eggs are boiled in hot springs and are said to give you seven extra years of life! If you're up for more adventure, the Owakudani Trail is a fantastic place to hike with amazing views of Mount Fuji on clear days. You can also hop on the Hakone Ropeway, which offers awesome views of the volcanic land and Lake Ashi as it takes you from Sounzan Station to Togendai Station. With so many things to do and see, Owakudani is a must-visit place in Japan. Don’t forget your camera, because the views are picture-perfect!
