Real experiences from real travelers
We got so lucky with the weather! Mt. Fuji was out in full glory. Our guide Ken was fantastic and explained the history of the shrine perfectly. The onsen at the end was the perfect way to relax after walking.
The black eggs at Owakudani were a highlight - tasty and fun legend! The private tour option was worth it for our family of four. The van was comfortable and we moved at our own pace.
Hakone is stunning. The pirate ship was a bit crowded but the views were worth it. The onsen experience was very traditional - remember you must be naked! It was shy at first but very liberating.
The Romancecar train ride was smooth. We loved the Open Air Museum - so much Picasso! The booking process was easy and everything went according to plan.
Even as a local, I enjoyed this tour. It hits all the main spots efficiently. The lunch provided was a delicious traditional set meal. Highly recommended for visitors.
It snowed during our trip which made the onsen even better. Hot water and cold air is a great combo. Just be prepared for traffic on the way back to Tokyo.
We booked the bus tour. It was very well organized. The guide spoke good English and kept us on schedule without feeling rushed. Fuji-san was shy behind clouds but the day was still great.
We took the hiking option along the caldera rim. Tough walk but the views are unmatched. Ending in the onsen was the best reward. Five stars!
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, in traditional onsens (hot springs), you must bathe completely naked. Swimsuits are not allowed in the bathwater to maintain hygiene. However, some facilities like 'Yunessun' have swimsuit zones.
Most traditional public onsens strictly ban tattoos. If you have tattoos, we recommend booking a tour that includes a private bath (kashikiri) or visiting tattoo-friendly facilities like Yunessun's swimsuit area. You can also use waterproof seal stickers to cover small tattoos.
'Kuro-tamago' are chicken eggs boiled in the natural sulfurous hot springs of Owakudani. The shell turns black due to a chemical reaction, but the inside remains white. Legend says eating one adds 7 years to your life!
Winter (November to February) offers the highest chance of clear skies and visibility of Mt. Fuji. Early mornings are generally clearer than afternoons in any season.
It typically takes about 85-90 minutes by the Odakyu Romancecar train or about 1.5 to 2 hours by bus/car, depending on traffic conditions.
It varies by tour. Some comprehensive packages include the Free Pass or cover all transport costs, while budget options might require you to purchase it separately. Check the 'What's Included' section of your specific tour.
Yes, Hakone is very family-friendly. Kids love the Pirate Ship and the Open-Air Museum. However, some hiking tours may have age restrictions.
Tours usually run rain or shine. While you might not see Mt. Fuji on a cloudy day, museums, onsens, and the lake cruise are still enjoyable. The Ropeway may close during strong winds.
Most full-day tours include a traditional Japanese lunch. Private tours often give you the flexibility to choose your own restaurant or recommend top local spots.
