    Views of Mount Fuji (Group Tour Add-On)

    4 Nights: from US$1148 per person (twin share) Trip Code: AOVMFC

    Winter is one of the best times to see the elusive Mount Fuji, so how about taking a trip to the hot spring resort of Hakone for superb views of Japan's iconic mountain - and fit in some relaxation time while you're there. Read more >

    Your Small Group Tour Winter Highlights finishes in Tokyo, but why not extend your time in Japan with a Self-Guided trip to Hakone to see Mount Fuji?

    You've explored the icy reaches of Hokkaido and visited the ancient temples and shrines of Japan's old capital Kyoto, so now it's time for you to travel independently from Tokyo to the Hakone region for two nights, then back to Tokyo for a further two night stay.

    Hakone National Park is just to the southeast of Mount Fuji, and the winter season is one of the best times to catch a glimpse of the elusive mountain with its crown of snow. Owing to its location along a valley between steep hills, Hakone is a long and winding hot spring town requiring a small network of buses, cable cars, and funicular railways to get around. You will be provided with the Hakone Free Pass which can be used on all of the public transport in the region, including the enjoyable boat cruise across Lake Ashi - keep your fingers crossed for a view of Mount Fuji from across the lake. We've arranged for you to have a final stay in a traditional ryokan where you will be able to soak in the restorative waters and dine privately in your room.

    After two relaxing days in the hot springs and tranquil scenery of Hakone, it's back to Tokyo for a final two nights in the vibrant Shinjuku area before heading out to the airport for your flight home.

    Notes
    This extension package is designed to be bolted on to one of our Small Group Tours. It works best when combined with Winter Highlights. Please note that the extension is Self-Guided. This means you will not be travelling in a group or with a tour leader, but full instructions including details of your journeys and directions to your accommodation will be included in your complimentary InsideJapan Tours' Info-Pack.

    • Day 1-2

      1-2

      Relax in the restorative hot spring baths in Hakone, enjoy the scenic views from Lake Ashi, hop on and off the various modes of transport around the valley, and get in touch with your cultural side in the wide array of museums and galleries.

      In the morning you will say your farewells to your tour leader and group in Tokyo, then make your way on the Odakyu “Romance Car” west to the Hakone area. We will provide you with instructions for this journey, as well as a three day Hakone Free Pass for use on the six types of transport in the region.

      After an hour and a half on the train you will come to the final stop, Yumoto Station, and you'll begin your two days of sightseeing in Hakone. The high concentration of fascinating museums and art galleries in the area means that it's not possible to see everything in two days, so on the train ride from Tokyo have a look in the Info-Pack and earmark a couple of the places that pique your interest. Fancy seeing some outdoor sculptures, visiting a Ferrari Museum, and or relaxing in an onsen-themed water park? Hakone has you covered.

      One of the highlights of Hakone is the boat cruise on Lake Ashi from one end of the lake to the other, and you can stop at the old Moto-Hakone port to have a walk along the tree-lined path to Hakone Shrine tucked away in the dense forest. Another recommendation is to take the cable car up to Owakudani where you can try one of the black "onsen eggs" which have been boiled in the sulphurous waters.

      Your base in Hakone will be the Ichinoyu Susukinohara where you'll have your own hot spring bath. The ryokan has tasty seasonal cuisine and lovely hot spring baths where you can relax after a day of sightseeing.

      Overnight: Ichinoyu Susukinohara

    • Day 3-5

      3-5

      Swap hot springs for high rises as you return to the high-energy atmosphere of Shinjuku, Tokyo's skyscraper district.

      You've had your fill of relaxation, so now it's time to retrace your steps to Tokyo on the Romance Car, and you will arrive into Shinjuku where your hotel is conveniently located. Over the next day and a half you'll have a good amount of time to do any last shopping or eating in Tokyo before your flight home. Is there one last cultural experience you're eager to do, or would you like to meet a local professional guide to get some inside knowledge into the best places to eat? Let us know and we'll endeavour to make arrangements for you.

      On your final morning we'll arrange a shared shuttle bus to take you to Narita Airport in good time for your flight home. If it's more convenient to fly out of Haneda Airport instead, do let us know and we can provide alternative plans to suit your needs.
