Hakone Checkpoint mga tour

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 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! 🗻🇯🇵

Our Tour guide was Matt, he was fantastic! He was funny, full of recommendations for activities around Tokyo and he also gave us the 'run down' before each stop, explaining what activities would take too long, explaining where the lines would be for photos and how to have the best experience at each stop. He did a great job keeping everyone on time ensuring that everyone knew what time to be back at the bus at every stop. Itinerary was very fast paced though so be prepared to move, not really enough time to explore each stop, just a fast paced in and out. I would have personally liked more time at Hakone Shrine and skip the swans on the lake.

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!

Even though there was a traffic jam, Ko our guide didn't cut any of the attractions which was very kind of him. it's not his fault we got back late. it was a good day trip. Will recommend to everyone.

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 tour bus was unfortunately delayed for two hours due to a minor fender bender during a lane change. However, both the tour leader and the driver provided excellent service, which still made the entire trip very enjoyable. It might have been a bit frustrating for guests who had evening restaurant reservations or other scheduled activities.
