Overview

  • This private Hakone tour combines samurai history, spiritual heritage, art, and relaxation in one flexible day from Tokyo. Rather than focusing only on the usual Lake Ashi viewpoints, you can explore Odawara Castle, Hakone Shrine, Hatajuku Yosegi Kaikan, and the Hakone Open-Air Museum, with the option to finish at a tattoo-friendly onsen. Views of Mt. Fuji is possible from the Hakone area on clear days but cannot be guaranteed due to changing weather conditions.
