Immerse yourself in the ultimate scenic and cultural adventure with our exclusive 10-hour private day tour of Hakone and Mishima. Designed for travellers who love flexibility and comfort, this fully customisable journey lets you explore Japan’s most iconic landscapes at your own pace without the rush of a big tour group.
Your day begins with a stress-free morning as your private, modern vehicle arrives directly at your hotel lobby for pickup. Relax in comfort while your professional, multilingual driver—fluent in English, Japanese, and other selected languages—handles the navigation.
Your driver acts as a helpful self-guide, providing essential local tips, handling logistics, and ensuring you know exactly where to go at each stop, giving you total freedom to explore independently once you arrive.Your first stop is the historic Hakone Shrine, nestled beautifully inside a peaceful, dense forest.
Walk along the lantern-lined paths and head down to the shores of Lake Ashi to stand before the iconic “Torii Gate of Peace”—the famous red gate that appears to float magically on the water. It is the perfect spot for unforgettable photos.
Next, step aboard a grand sightseeing boat for a relaxing cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ashi. On a clear day, you will be treated to breathtaking, postcard-perfect views of Mount Fuji rising majestically in the background.
After the cruise, soar high into the sky on the thrilling Hakone Ropeway. The cable car takes you directly over active volcanic zones into the Owakudani Valley. Feel the energy of the earth as you witness white sulphur steam vents rising from the ground. Don't miss the chance to try the legendary black hen eggs (Kuro-Tamago), boiled in the natural hot springs, which local lore says add seven years to your life.
Take some time here to enjoy a delicious local lunch at your own leisure.
In the afternoon, your driver will take you across to Shizuoka prefecture to experience the spectacular Mishima Skywalk. Stretching an incredible 400 metres, it holds the title of Japan’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge. Walk across this architectural marvel to enjoy completely unobstructed, 360-degree panoramic vistas of Mount Fuji and the deep blue Suruga Bay.
After a full 10 hours of incredible sightseeing, culture, and adventure, step back into your private vehicle. Unwind and recall the day's memories on a smooth, comfortable drive back, ending with a direct drop-off right at your hotel doorstep.
