Fuji mountain tours

Hakone was Japan's original tourist mecca, a place to go for spectacular views of Mount Fuji, along with a variety of art museums and hot springs (onsen). Hakone remains a very popular destination today, and hiring a local guide for a private Mt Fuji tour is a good way to avoid the large tour groups that often descend on the region. One quirk about Hakone is the variety of fun transportation option available to explore the mountains: you can take a switchback train, funicular, gondola and even a festive pirate ship to explore Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. See Ōwakudani , the sulphur springs known as the Great Boiling Valley, which you can reach by cable car ride. There are many spots where you can take a dip (or even boil an egg!) Enjoy a cruise on lovely Lake Ashinoko; on a clear day, this is a classic spot for postcard views of Mt Fuji. Your guide will tell you many stories about this beautiful region of Japan on your private Mt Fuji tour.
