Hakone Checkpoint-turer

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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.

Absolutely loved this tour! 🇯🇵✨ This was my first ever overseas trip, so I was a little nervous about travelling somewhere completely new. Booking this guided tour was one of the best decisions I made, it turned out to be such a wonderful experience. Our guide, Erik, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing so much interesting information about the places we visited and the history of the area. He was also approachable which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. Seeing Mount Fuji, exploring Hakone, experiencing the pirate ship on Lake Ashi, Owakudani and Oshino Hakkai made for such a memorable day. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was amazing to experience so much in one day. A huge thank you to Erik for making my first overseas tour such a positive and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time visiting Japan! 🇯🇵❤️

We had a great day trip with our tour guide, Jack! He was friendly, engaging, and explained everything clearly and in detail. His English was very fluent, which made the whole tour easy to follow and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

sakuragi was our guide and did an amazing job! he knew all the stops and where to take a photo. he was kind and up beat and he was easy to understand in multiple languages, including english!!!

Reiselederen vår var Matt, han var fantastisk! Han var morsom, full av anbefalinger for aktiviteter rundt Tokyo, og han ga oss også en 'briefing' før hvert stopp, der han forklarte hvilke aktiviteter som ville ta for lang tid, hvor køene for bilder ville være, og hvordan man kunne få den beste opplevelsen på hvert sted. Han gjorde en flott jobb med å holde alle i rute og sørget for at alle visste når de skulle være tilbake ved bussen på hvert stopp. Reiseruten var imidlertid veldig hektisk, så vær forberedt på å bevege deg raskt; det var ikke nok tid til å utforske hvert stopp, bare en rask inn og ut. Jeg ville personlig ha likt mer tid ved Hakone-helligdommen og hoppet over svanene på innsjøen.

We had such a great experience with our tour guide, Will! He was so funny, knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all of our questions. He made the whole day enjoyable and kept us laughing. We didn’t get to see Mt. Fuji because it was hiding behind the clouds, but the tour was still absolutely worth it! I really appreciated that Will and the team waited a little longer to give us a chance to see if the clouds would clear. It showed how much they genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. Will even gifted us a Japanese golden turtle, which symbolizes longevity and good fortune. Such a thoughtful little souvenir that made the experience even more special. Our driver was also wonderful and got us everywhere safely and comfortably throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour! Even without seeing Mt. Fuji, we had such a fun and memorable day. We’re planning to book again when we come back during the winter, and hopefully Mt. Fuji will show itself next time! 🗻🇯🇵

Vi hadde en fantastisk opplevelse på denne turen. Selv om været ikke var spesielt snilt mot oss og Fuji-fjellet valgte å holde seg skjult hele dagen, fikk vi likevel se og gjøre så mye, og hadde en genuint strålende dag. En stor del av dette skyldtes guiden vår, Erik. Han var fantastisk hele veien, og delte så mange interessante innsikter, historier og historiske fakta underveis. Det la så mye til opplevelsen og gjorde virkelig dagen for oss. Det som overrasket oss mest var hvor mye man får oppleve på denne turen. Selv uten å se Fuji, satt vi igjen med følelsen av å ha hatt en veldig full og minneverdig dag, i stedet for å føle at vi hadde gått glipp av noe. Og faktisk er vi ikke skuffet over at Fuji ikke viste seg, for nå har vi den perfekte unnskylden til å komme tilbake! Når vi gjør det, vil vi være mye bedre forberedt og fullt utstyrt med alle tipsene om hva vi skal gjøre, hva vi ikke skal gjøre og hvordan vi får mest mulig ut av området, takket være Erik. En utmerket guide. Takk, Erik!

Selv om det var trafikkork, kuttet ikke guiden vår Ko ned på noen av attraksjonene, noe som var veldig snilt av ham. Det er ikke hans feil at vi kom sent tilbake. Det var en fin dagstur. Vil anbefale til alle.
