Hakone Shrine & Lake Ashi
Arrive in Hakone, a beautiful mountain destination famous for its hot springs, peaceful landscapes, and spectacular views of Mount Fuji.

Enjoy free time around the shrine and Lake Ashi, where you can explore the peaceful surroundings and capture memorable photos with Mount Fuji in the background when visibility allows.
Lake Ashi Pirate Ship Cruise — Optional
For an additional experience, enjoy an optional cruise on Lake Ashi aboard a pirate-themed sightseeing ship. The cruise is available at your own expense.
Choose from three themed vessels:
- Royal II

During the cruise, enjoy scenic views of Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine’s torii gate, and Mount Fuji.
If you prefer not to take the cruise, your guide can provide directions for continuing to the next tour location.
Transfer to Hakone Ropeway
If required, we can provide complimentary transportation by car to Higashigendai Ropeway Station.
Hakone Ropeway & Owakudani

Continue your Hakone adventure with a ride on the Hakone Ropeway. Enjoy panoramic mountain scenery and views of Lake Ashi and Mount Fuji, subject to weather and visibility conditions.
Arrive at Owakudani, a famous volcanic valley created by the massive eruption of Mount Hakone thousands of years ago.
Explore this unique geothermal area and see volcanic landscapes, steaming vents, and other natural features. You can also try the area’s famous black eggs, traditionally boiled in the naturally heated volcanic waters.
