FAQ
Yes, it is highly feasible to experience Mount Fuji's 5th Station (the highest accessible point by road) and key Hakone attractions like Lake Ashi and the Ōwakudani volcanic area within a single day. Well-structured day tours are specifically designed to optimize travel and sightseeing, allowing visitors to enjoy the diverse landscapes and experiences of both regions efficiently from Tokyo.
Mount Fuji's 5th Station, situated at 2300 meters, offers unique close-up views of Japan's tallest peak and serves as a gateway for climbers, surrounded by alpine scenery. In contrast, Hakone's Ōwakudani is an active volcanic valley known for its sulfuric fumes, hot springs, and otherworldly desolate landscape. It's often referred to as the 'Great Boiling Valley' due to its geothermal activity.
During a sightseeing cruise on Lake Ashi, passengers can often capture stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji, particularly when the conditions are clear and the reflection on the lake is visible. Additionally, the Hakone Ropeway, especially the sections around Ōwakudani, provides elevated, sweeping vistas of Mount Fuji and the surrounding Hakone landscape.
The approximate travel time between Hakone and Mount Fuji's 5th Station by bus during a day tour can range from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic conditions and the specific route taken. Day tours are carefully planned to manage these travel segments efficiently, allowing ample time at each attraction.
If you opt for a bullet train return to Tokyo from the Mount Fuji and Hakone area, the journey typically begins from a station like Odawara, which is a key transport hub for Hakone. The Shinkansen (bullet train) ride from Odawara to Tokyo usually takes approximately 30-40 minutes, providing a quick and comfortable end to your day trip.
Yes, Mount Fuji can often be seen from the bullet train when heading back to Tokyo from the Hakone area, especially on clear days. For the best viewing opportunities, it is generally recommended to secure a window seat on the right side of the train when traveling eastward towards Tokyo.
At Ōwakudani volcanic valley, visitors can observe active sulfur vents and hot springs, sample local delicacies like 'black eggs' cooked in the natural hot springs, and explore the unique geological landscape. The Hakone Ropeway ride provides breathtaking aerial views of the volcanic activity, Lake Ashi, and often offers clear panoramic glimpses of Mount Fuji.
During the Mount Fuji day tour, guests can enjoy a distinctive lunch experience at a ninja-themed restaurant. This typically involves a Japanese-style meal served in an engaging setting adorned with ninja-related decor and elements, creating a fun and culturally immersive dining atmosphere for participants.
