Full-day tour from Tokyo: Mount Fuji & Hakone
Last updated: August 26, 2026
Mount Fuji and Hakone in one sweep from Tokyo: a morning at Hakone Shrine, where the vermilion Heiwa no Torii rises straight out of Lake Ashi, then a pirate-ship cruise across the water and the Hakone Ropeway up to the steaming vents of Owakudani. The afternoon belongs to the Fuji side — swans drifting against the mountain at Lake Yamanaka's Shiratori Beach, and the glass-clear spring pools of Oshino Hakkai. Every leg is threaded together for you, with coaches looping out of both Tokyo Station and Shinjuku.

Frequently Asked Questions
The route is built around Fuji viewpoints — behind the torii at Lake Ashi, from the ropeway as it climbs, across the water at Shiratori Beach and mirrored in Oshino Hakkai's ponds — but the mountain makes its own weather and hides in cloud on some days. Clear winter mornings offer the most reliable views; summer afternoons the least.
Eggs slow-boiled in Owakudani's sulphurous hot springs, which turn the shells jet black while the inside stays a normal boiled egg. Local legend says each one adds seven years to your life — most visitors decide the view over the steaming valley is worth at least that.
Two pickup points: under the BEAMS sign at the Shin-Marunouchi Building in front of JR Tokyo Station, or at Tokyo Mode Gakuen — the latticed Cocoon Tower by Shinjuku Station's west exit. The coach drops you back at the same point you boarded.
A cluster of eight spring-fed ponds between the Fuji lakes, filled by snowmelt that filters through the mountain's lava layers for decades before surfacing. The water is startlingly clear — deep pools read like glass — and the old thatched roofs around them make it an easy place to linger.
