Do You Want to Try Skywalk? A New Way of Enjoying Hakone!
Staying in Hakone? Let's go to Mishima and explore the superb view! Hakone is easily accessible from Tokyo and is a popular tourist destination. It is known or famous as a hot spring town and has many attractions. For example, a beautiful Lake Ashi and the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji. Those are of course must-see tourist destinations, but on this tour, you will reach Mishima on the west side of Mt. Hakone. Despite the fact that there was still a lot of nature left undeveloped until today, in recent years it has been developed so that many people can enjoy the impressive scenery! This area is worth to visit because it takes only 20 minutes by bus from Hakone. It is a recommended tour on the second day of Hakone sightseeing, which extends to the unknown area.
