We parked our car at Sounzan and took the ropeway to Owakudani. Once we crossed the mountain, the scenery changed dramatically, and the passengers all cheered at the sight of Owakudani, which was yellowed by sulfur, spreading out below us.

[Group tour available for 1 person] Hakone, Mt. Fuji & Enoshima Day Trip | Enoshima, Owakudani, Lake Ashi Floating Torii Gate, Hakone Ropeway, Lake Ashi Pirate Ship
Our tour guide, Chen Hao, managed the time very well, and his explanations in both English and Chinese were very detailed. Although the weather was bad and we couldn't see Mount Fuji, it didn't dampen our spirits at all.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Day Trip: Owakudani (from Tokyo)
Good; the time arrangement avoided unnecessary waiting, and the overall trip was smooth. The vehicle ride was very smooth and the interior was clean. The only downside was the cramped seating at lunchtime and the mediocre food.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great for the Hakone pirate ship tour, but the Enoshima itinerary was fantastic. The minibus was small, but the activities went very smoothly.
