Escape Tokyo for a private Hakone day trip with Mount Fuji views, Lake Ashi, shrine walks, art museums, lunch, and a tattoo-friendly onsen.

“Our day trip was one for the books. Greatly enhanced by our young guide Leny. Even though he is not Japanese, his passion for Japanese culture shone through his knowledge and passionate storytelling. As a person he was also very, very personable and such an interesting, relatable human being. It helped he had creative judgment as we made him co-director of our tiktoks. The itinerary itself was well thought through --- we went to a temple and an onsen...we did not get to see Mt. Fuji (it was cloudy) but that did not matter in the end. Thank you Leny!”

3.Mount Fuji 5th Station & Onsen Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 75 reviews · 1 day · from $50Best value

See Mt. Fuji by bus, visit Oshino Hakkai, and relax in a mountain-view onsen on this practical Tokyo day trip.

“Very disappointing. Was not what was in the description. We did not have a guide - just a driver who spoke very little English and when he stopped at the first spot pointed at another company’s tour group and said follow! Next stop was hits, small lakes & shops. Again give time to return to van. Last stop was an high end shopping centre to get lunch. Did not meet any expectation of the day tour nor did it fit with the description of the tour.”
