2-Day Mt Fuji, Hakone and Bullet Train Tour from Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan
Escape the big-city bustle to explore Mt Fuji, stay in scenic Hakone then zoom back to Tokyo by bullet train on this overnight jaunt. With an informative guide, you’ll visit 5th Station, cruise Lake Ashi and take a ride on the Mt Komagatake Ropeway. Then soothe away your cares in an ‘onsen’ (hot spring bath) at your Hakone accommodation and have a day free to explore this exquisite resort town at your leisure, using a transportation pass. Upgrade to include breakfast and dinner with Japanese-style rooms at your hotel.
In just two days, you can experience lovely Hakone with six different types of transportation: coach, ferry, ropeway, cable car, train and bullet train. Enjoy a guided tour of Mt Fuji, followed by a free day exploring Hakone on your own with a transportation pass. Unwind from your travels with accommodation in a western-style room at Hakone Hotel Kowakien, famous for its hot spring baths. Upgrade for a Japanese-style room, including breakfast and dinner, with open-air baths at Yunohana Onsen Hotel.
*Please note: Hakone Hotel Kowakien is no longer offered in 2017.
An excellent tour, exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to see the mountain so clearly, which really made the trip special and memorable. The tour is very well organised and we had a very knowledgeable and amusing guide Mr Hera. The lunch on day 1 was very good in a lovely location. If you are not sure which hotel to go for, the Kowakien Ten-yu Hotel is exceptional - it is a brand new, h hotel and the rooms are exquisite, beautifully and comfortably furnished in traditional Japanese style, including everything you need to enjoy the onsen/spa experience even kimonos to wear in the dining room, if you wish!. The private spa bath on the balcony makes it very special. The staff greet you like celebrities. The included Japanese dinner is also an experience not to miss.

Superb to see Mount Fuji, one of those places that give you a special feeling. Great guide. Lovely onsen experience, although not luxury, but still very lovely. Bullet train is an experience in itself, almost like taking a flight.

Not worth the money. No time at Mt. Fuji visitor center, rushed thru lunch, barely made short cruise and cable car. Prince hotel nice but limited to fish for meals and could not use hot springs because of tattoo. Should have been a disclaimer. Hakone free pass was not well explained.

This trip totally exceeded my expectations. The tour guide was so nice and knowledgeable, and she told us a lot of factoids about Japan and the Japanese culture on our way to Mt Fuji. Then the lunch was incredible! I was expecting a measly sandwich or something like that, but we were treated to a multicourse traditional Japanese meal in a most beautiful setting! The only two negative things I have to say about this tour are foggy weather that prevented us from seeing Mt Fuji nothing anyone could control, and feeling rushed all the time but that's typical of a tour. I highly recommend this tour!

It was a great tour, the guide is very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything went well logistically and time wise. We had a wonderful time in Mt. Fuji and specially in Hakone. Very interesting place.

This tour was really great! Our tour guide was super knowledgable and had very interesting stories. The only downside was that we had a VERY short time at each stop so it felt very rushed, which being on vacation you don't want to feel. The day we went was a very cloudy, windy, rainy day so we weren't able to see Mt. Fuji as we drove up. Luckily, we just happened to be outside when the clouds briefly cleared away and we were able to snap a few pics. This also happened while we were aboard the ropeway. It really and truly was breath-taking! The ryokan was quite nice and the Japanese baths were EXCELLENT. After a full day of rushing around in the cold and rain, soaking in the hot water was the perfect ending to the day. We chose the Hakone Hotel Kowakien EXCELLENT service! which had a family mart right next to it and the Yunessun close by, which was great for food and shopping. The Hakone free pass also allowed us to board any of the buses and explore Hakone to our heart's content! We were able to leave our extremely large luggages with the hotel bag check, which was great since we didn't have to lug it around. We were able to figure out our way to the bullet train and made it to the train just on time! It was a great trip and my only regret is that we didn't stay in Hakone another day. There was just so much to explore!

The 1st day was spent touring around Mt Fuji and parts of Hakone with a guide. The 2nd day was spent on my own with an all-day pass to roam around Hakone. I stayed at Yunohana Prince Hotel with dinner and breakfast. Great food, service, and hot spring. Room was dated but clean. Pricy but luxurious
Review by: Layanthi C, July 2016
I loved this tour. The guide and the company is well organised. Managed to see mount fuji just for 5 minutes because of the weather. But i won't get that chance if I didn't book this tour. Nice timing too. If you are focusing on Onsen spa then book Hakone Kowaki-en Hotel. This is very near to the bus and train stations too. If you booked Price hotel you might be lucky enough to see the mount fuji from your garden.

My guide was Reiko and she told us alot of interesting stories of Japan and Mt Fuji. It was a disappointing trip as we did not see Mt. Fuji. The lunch provided is really good! The hot spring resort is very comfortable and clean. Bullet train back is at 5.45pm so we did nt hv time to explore Hakone.

The trip was well organised from start to finish and the guide Keiko was very caring, helpful and attentive to our needs. She spoke very good English so was perfect for this english-speaking bus full of tourists. She even sang us a song and she has a good voice so pleasant to listen to. The hotel has everything you need if in need of a little upgrading in decor, carpets etc. Staff here were very nice and helpful too.

Very well organised and special thanks to Yukico-san our tour guide, she was amazing,
Review by: Pattos, May 2016
Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed this 2 day trip. In fact for me the overnight stay at the Princes hotel in Hakone was the highlight. We opted for the Japanese experience and really enjoyed having a traditional style room and the banquet in the evening was fantastic. This option also meant you had a Japanese breakfast which is something quite unique. My husband also said that the outdoor onsen was fabulous._br/_ As for day 1 with the guide, we had a good day. Luckily this tour includes a trip to the 5th Station otherwise we wouldn't have seen the top of Mt Fuji for the whole rest of the day due to clouds. _br/_ The second day you are left to your own arrangements. We decided to make the most of the hotel and checked out at 11am which still left us plenty of time to do the Hakone Cable Car the Ropeway is done on day 1 and then the Romance Car - Heritage Train down to Hakone town centre. We then had a late lunch in the town centre and left with enough time to get to Odawara by 1742 for the prebooked train back to Tokyo. Would highly reccommend.

The guide was wonderful, very kind and on top of every single detail. The trip itself was a bit underwhelming, more time spent in transport than anything else. But accommodations were nice, and we were very lucky to have good weather otherwise it would not have been enjoyable.
Review by: Valentina F, March 2016
Good tour, could be more clear about what is included - for example, I didn't realize that the package included a day pass that had discounted activities in Hakone.
Review by: May L, March 2016
I loved the experience! We got to try the hot spring and the Japanese hotel style extra cost, and it was so worth it! The tour guide was very organized, precise with time, and group wasn't overly large. With the price, lunch, dinner and breakfast were included, as well as the extra tickets for the free day. We got to experience the quieter side of Japan and got to see Mt. Fuji, even though it was only from the 1st station!
Review by: Heather S, February 2016
A wonderful trip - well organized. All went to plan and we enjoyed it fully. Only sad thing was that we could not see much of Mount Fuji and could not go up. Well recommended trip. Thanks

Great tour and great guide
Review by: Martha G, October 2015
The trip was OK but there was no good direction about activities to enjoy at Hakone. Or, how to get around Hakone._br/_ Additionally, our guide sent me to the wrong hotel. It was unnerving because I had to take another taxi to another hotel at a time when I was quite tired. Would have been fun to be on a longer bullet train ride.
Review by: jack k, September 2015
Our tour guide was not helpful. His English was not understandable. We felt rushed, specially at lunch, which was delicious. The tour otherwise was very well organized. The Prince hotel was lovely. The tour in general was worth it even though we did not see Mt. Fuji due to weather condition
Review by: Kim V, August 2015
Fabulous trip. Absolutely stunning views. We had an amazing time. Highly recommend this tour
Review by: Wan Ji L, August 2015
Good - 1st day, fully prepared by tour guide, easy and guide spoke good english._br/_
- Yunohana Onsen Hotel was a delight. _br/_
Bad - 2nd day, travelling around was not easy and free pass was useless.

Review by: ritter13, June 2015
We have all things to very fast.At the Visitor Center about 10 min to short .The same at the 5 Station 25 min you can not enjoy all the things.
Review by: Danielle H, June 2015
We loved our tour of Mount Fuji and Hakone. Very well organized and our tour guide Yasue was funny and informative. Only wish we could've had more time at the 5th station. Highly recommend. We had our 4 children with us and even enjoyed the hot springs at our hotel!! Great time!
Review by: Melanie H, June 2015
I highly recommend going on the one day tour to Mt Fuji and then returning back to Tokyo. The hotel, Hakone Hotel Kowaki-en, was moldy and disgusting with pricing only appropriate for a five star hotel. Additionally, to be very clear, there is no staff to assist you on the second day on the long trip from Hakone to Odawara and then Odawara to Tokyo. This tour is not for nervous travelers or those who prefer not to share their hotel room with black mold.

Review by: Connee L, June 2015
Stayed at the prince hotel and onsen and it was amazing!! Traditional Japanese style room and meals for a true Japan experience. The view from the hotel room was spectacular! Would definitely go back again.
Review by: Choi Yin F, May 2015
The tour was good on the first day. Day tour was memorable. However, the hotel stay was not too pleasant. We were told by the tour guide dinner not included but breakfast is included. However, we were ask to pay for the breakfast.hotel staff were not happy when asked for clarification from tour comp
Review by: Chun Yee P, May 2015
I don't recommend it as the Hakone Hotel Kowaki-En is not up to my expectation. Air conditioning is not functioning well and we were informed to open the window for ventilation which caused mosquitoes entering our hotel room.Besides,no hotel drop off provided although stated in tour details.
Review by: Susan M, May 2015
A great day ... My Fuji did show us her peak, even if it was only for the start of the trip! We were blessed with good weather and an enthusiastic Guide._br/_
Our Hakone hotel was rather dated rooms musty and a bit out of town. Staff were customarily polite but have limited English._br/_
The hotels public ONSEN was organised and clean -- a must do even if you are shy about the thought of it !
Review by: LEE KIANG T, April 2015
A very pleasant trip and experience.
Review by: Violet S, March 2015
It was a really fun tour. I met some interesting people. Although we didn't get to see Fuji on the first day due to bad weather, the second day exploring Hakone with the 2-day free pass was fantastic!_br/_
Thank you so much
Review by: drct, March 2015
Tour guide know his job well ,speak good english , he give very clear instrutions by talking and writing on the white board -well done - polite man should be given a promotion asap
Review by: Rini, February 2015
Firstly the tour was great and well organised. Our guide Mr.Hiro was well behaved and tried his best to make the tour memorable. Though we could not view Mt.Fuji due to bad weather, my husband and I were able to enjoy the snow and our time in Hakone. We were well taken care of and the overall experience was enjoyable.
Review by: Randall L, February 2015
The tour guide was good and the trip up to the 4th station on Mt. Fugi was good, but the hotel you reserved for us near Hakone was really bad.
Review by: Carey R, January 2015
The tour was awesome!! Our guide was great; he was very nice, funny, gave us a lot of information about the locations we were visiting as well as the sights we passed along the way. he also sang us the Mt. Fuji song in Japanese and English! We did so much in two days, and having it all organized for us was wonderful. We visited the Hakone Open Air Museum the 2nd day (free day) and it was amazing. Great tour! Great guide! Great price!
Review by: Cyrilla Y, January 2015
I really had trouble understanding our guide. The rooms @ Hakone Kowakien reeked of cigarette smell(although we had a no smoking plan) and is very run down. We had dinner @ the Italian restaurant at the onsen across from the hotel, reasonably priced. We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, even though we had to pay for it. While waiting for the bus to Owadarawa station, we didn't realize only busses with the "Bird" symbol were free.. Didn't get a chance to do any touring because it would take us another two hrs to get to and from the station. The guide did attempt to recommend sights to see, but honestly, myself and party of 11 couldn't understand him.
Review by: Joni D, December 2014
Although our Tour agent could speak English, it was hard to understand him._br/_
The hotel we stayed at had no air condition and was musty smelling._br/_
The 2nd day of the tour we were left on our own. Not what I had expected.We had to catch a city Bus to the Train station. A 1 hour ride with most of our party having to stand.. We were told we could catch the Bullet train earlier by our Tour Guide.if space was available. Bullet train tickets could not be exchanged for an earlier trip.

This tour is a must if you ever visit Tokyo!!!!
Review by: pv.roberts, December 2014
Very good. Both problems - firstly an accident on the Chuo freeway which led to us taking some 80 minutes to go 20 kilometres on Day 1 and led to a tour rearrangement and time compression in the afternoon then on Day 2 the weather closing in about midday when I was in Owakudani, were clearly beyond the control of anybody. Keiko (tour guide Day 1), excellent. However I thought that lunch could have been shortened given the arrival delay.
Review by: Chantelle Y, December 2014
The reason I wouldn't recommend this tour is because the hotel rooms were horrid, had a bad smell and no AC. The next day we didn't do much because we had to lug our bags around and then we had to catch a bus for an hour while standing because it was packed all the way to the train. WE WERE ON OUR OWN!
