Tokyo: Day trip to Hakone, with views of Mount Fuji

What you'll do

Join a like-minded Local Host on a totally personalised experience and swap bustling Tokyo for a day exploring stunning natural landscapes and the beauty of Hakone, a mountain town famed for its hot springs.

See the most breathtaking view of Mount Fuji as well as the red torii gate, a traditional Shinto shrine, in the peaceful waters of Lake Ashi and the famous open-air sculpture museum.

Explore these iconic sights, and with a Local Host by your side you’ll be able to get off the beaten path and discover hidden gems that you won’t find in a guidebook and eat authentic food in local eateries.

Spend time getting to know your Local Host, who can give you recommendations for other places you may like to make trips to during your time in Japan, as well as more hidden gems they know you’ll love in Tokyo and the surrounding area.
