    Overview

    Experience Hakone through the eyes of a Local Host on a private day trip shaped around your interests rather than a fixed sightseeing itinerary. From peaceful lakes and historic shrines to volcanic landscapes, scenic transport, and traditional towns, every moment is tailored to what matters most to you. Hakone changes with the seasons, and factors such as weather, transportation schedules, and visitor numbers all influence the experience. Rather than following a predetermined route, your Local Host will adapt the day as it unfolds, recommending the best transport options, helping you avoid unnecessary queues, and making the most of every opportunity along the way. After booking, you'll complete an online Personalization Form, allowing your Host to create an itinerary based on your travel style and priorities. If conditions are favorable, your host will happily include viewpoints where Mount Fuji may be visible, but sightings can never be guaranteed and always depend on the weather.

    Pass by stop 1

    Escape the energy of Tokyo and spend the day exploring Hakone, one of Japan's most celebrated mountain destinations. Renowned for its tranquil lakes, volcanic landscapes, centuries-old shrines, scenic transport, and rich cultural heritage, Hakone offers a refreshing change of pace surrounded by spectacular natural beauty. Before your experience, you'll complete an online Personalization Form, allowing your Local Host to tailor the day to your interests and travel style. No two days in Hakone are ever quite the same, so your host may adjust the route throughout the experience in response to weather, seasonal conditions, transportation schedules, crowd levels, and your evolving interests, ensuring you enjoy the best possible day rather than following a rigid itinerary. Here are some of the places your personalized experience may include:

    2

    Pass by stop 2

    Take in the beauty of Hakone's iconic volcanic lake on foot or aboard a sightseeing cruise if it suits your personalized itinerary. When weather and visibility allow, selected viewpoints offer some of the region's most memorable views of Mount Fuji.

    3

    Pass by stop 3

    Visit one of Hakone's most iconic spiritual landmarks, nestled among towering cedar trees on the shores of Lake Ashi. Learn about its fascinating history while admiring the famous vermilion torii gate rising gracefully from the water.

    4

    Pass by stop 4

    If operating conditions, weather, and queue times allow, your Local Host may recommend riding Hakone's famous Ropeway for breathtaking views across Hakone's dramatic volcanic landscapes.

    5

    6

    Pass by stop 6

    Wander through Hakone's charming gateway town, known for its traditional streets, artisan shops, regional delicacies, and relaxed atmosphere. If you'd like to experience a traditional onsen, your Local Host can recommend options that fit your schedule (admission not included).

    Other

    After booking, you'll receive an online Personalization Form where you can share your interests, priorities, and travel style. Your Local Host will then contact you directly to create an itinerary tailored to what you'd most like to experience in Hakone.

    Other

    Hakone is a destination where weather, transportation schedules, seasonal conditions, and visitor numbers can significantly influence the day. Rather than following a fixed route, your Local Host may adjust the order of stops or recommend alternative transport options to avoid long queues and help you make the most of your time.

    Other

    When weather and visibility allow, your host will happily take you to viewpoints that offer memorable views of Mount Fuji. However, as these conditions are beyond anyone's control, sightings cannot be guaranteed. If seeing Mount Fuji is the primary reason for your trip, our Kawaguchiko day trip is specifically designed to maximize opportunities for mountain views and may be a better choice.

    Other

    This is a private walking experience, and no private vehicle is included. Your Romancecar limited express train tickets and Hakone Freepass are included, while additional public transportation or local taxis may be recommended where appropriate. Any additional transportation costs will be discussed with your Local Host before or during your experience.

    Osaka Dotonbori Daytime Food Tour

    This 3-hour Osaka Food Tour in the famous foodie neighborhood of Dotonbori & Namba will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. The tour kicks off in the busy Dotonbori area where we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the sights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without local guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour toward the shrine hidden from sight for the average passerby.
