We’ve had a nice day trip with everything catered by tour guide Mandy and the driver. We were lucky enough to able to see most of the Mount Fuji. The trip was comfortable and easy. Definitely recommend it to all who didn’t want to deal with the transportation but do want to come visit the beautiful Mount Fuji and also its nearby places.

I booked this Hakone trip through Klook. Our guide, Won-yang, was so much fun and incredibly passionate! I was so impressed that they spoke three languages (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese) and provided non-stop guidance. We even received a farewell gift, so I finished the trip with only wonderful memories.^^

Our guide, Evon, provided excellent service and detailed explanations for the itinerary, which greatly enhanced our day trip. We highly recommend all the stops: the pirate ship on Lake Ashi, the Hakone Ropeway to Owakudani, Hakone Shrine, and Enoshima Island!

Our tour guide, Yuan Yang, was very enthusiastic! He was incredibly patient and spoke multiple languages. He's a fantastic guide, and we'd definitely come back again. It would be even better if we could request him specifically next time.

Things to Do at Hakone Ropeway

Soar Over Owakudani Valley

Get a bird's-eye view of this volcanic zone filled with steaming vents and sulfur fields. This section of the Hakone Ropeway is one of the most dramatic and memorable parts of the journey.

Taste Black Eggs at Owakudani Station

These eggs are boiled in hot spring water and turn black due to the sulfur---legend says eating one adds seven years to your life! It's a fun and tasty stop mid-ride.

Take Photos of Mt. Fuji

On a clear day, you'll see Mt. Fuji in all its glory from multiple points along the ropeway. The views are especially breathtaking in the morning or during winter when the sky is crisp and clear.

Cruise Lake Ashi from Togendai

After your ropeway ride, board a pirate ship-themed cruise on Lake Ashi for more scenic fun. This activity is often included in the Hakone Loop route.

Tips Before Visiting Hakone Ropeway

Check Weather Conditions

Visibility is key to enjoying the views. Try to visit on a clear day for the best chance to see Mt. Fuji and surrounding scenery.

Use a Hakone Free Pass

Dress in Layers

Weather can change quickly, especially at higher altitudes. Bring a light jacket even in warmer seasons.

Start Early

The ropeway can get crowded, especially at Owakudani. Starting your trip in the morning helps avoid long lines and gives you more time to explore.
