Duration: 11 hours 30 minutes

Visit Japan’s iconic Mt Fuji, cruise Lake Ashi and ride the Mt Komagatake Ropeway on this popular day trip by deluxe coach from Tokyo. Enjoy sweeping views of celebrated Hakone National Park, and learn about the region with your guide as you check out the Fuji Visitor Center and Mt Fuji’s 5th Station. Upgrade to include lunch, or purchase your own. Hotel pickup is included, with drop-off at Odawara, Shinjuku or Ginza stations, where you can continue to explore at your leisure.

Start your full-day trip with morning hotel pickup at selected Tokyo
hotels or meet your guide at Hamamatsucho
Bus Terminal. Then travel by air-conditioned coach via a scenic 2.5-hour
route to Mt Fuji’s 5th Station, located 7,607 feet (2,305 meters) above
sea level.
The natural beauty of the Japanese
landscape will amaze you at your first destination: Fuji Visitor
Center. Learn about Mt Fuji through displays and films on the ecology,
weather conditions, history and culture around the mountain and the Fuji
Five Lakes. Your 20-minute stop includes the second-floor observatory
deck, which provides up-close views of the iconic mountain on a clear
day.
Return to your coach and continue on to
5th Station, located about halfway up the mountain, for more
breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes. You have 30 minutes to
explore the souvenir shops, torii gates and shrines that decorate this station, known as the border between the heavens and the earth.
If you’ve opted for an upgrade, savor the views over a Japanese-style lunch, or you can purchase your own food.
With
your appetite sated, drive to nearby Lake Ashi, a crater lake formed
after a powerful volcanic eruption nearly 3,000 years ago in what is now
Hakone National Park. Embark on a 15-minute cruise over Lake Ashi,
which provides postcard views of Mt Fuji, Mt Komagatake and other
mountains from various angles.
From the lake’s
shores, take the Mt Komagatake Ropeway to the summit and enjoy scenic
vistas over Hakone National Park. For 50 minutes, including time to walk
around at the peak, the aerial tram provides sweeping views of majestic
Mt Fuji, the Izu Peninsula and the Izu Islands, among other sights.
Your
tour concludes with a transfer to Tokyo by coach, dropping you off at
Shinjuku or Ginza station in the evening. Take in the great night views
and restaurants of upscale Ginza, known as one of the world’s most
luxurious shopping districts.
