• Mount Fuji - Experience stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji at various locations throughout the day, along with many delightful surprises.
• Hakone Turnpike Daikanyama Parking Lot - The journey begins on one of the most picturesque roads in the Fuji/Hakone region. This road offers numerous scenic views, and from the top observatory, there is a breathtaking view of the entire valley, Hakone, and Fuji. Even on rainy days, the fog and greenery create an incredible atmosphere.
• Hakone Shrine - The Hakone Shrine is a Japanese Shinto shrine located on the shores of Lake Ashii. Established in 757, it features a Torii (red gate), several shrines and buildings, souvenir shops, and a museum. It is one of the most beautiful shrines in the region, nestled in nature.
• Lake Ashinoko - Next, we will visit Lake Ashi, stopping at several famous Torii Gates (traditional Japanese gates typically found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine) and Shrines.
• Amasake Tea House - We will then visit Amazake Chaya, a traditional teahouse along the historic Tōkaidō road. Hidden in the cedar forests of Hakone, it has welcomed travelers for over 400 years. Inside, the wooden beams darkened by centuries of hearth smoke create an atmosphere of warmth and history. Here, guests can enjoy amazake, a sweet, non-alcoholic rice drink once offered to weary pilgrims, along with simple local snacks. It is more than a teahouse; it is a living remnant of Edo-period travel culture, where the spirit of hospitality has been carefully preserved.
• Tenzan Tohji-kyo - After the highway trip, scenic road, shrine, and lake visit, it will be time to eat and, of course, relax. We will leisurely make our way to some of the most beautiful onsens that Kanto has to offer (several choices, depending on your mood and desires). There, guests can enjoy local specialties, relax in the thermal water, and even have a massage. Napping next to the water in the relaxation room is also possible and recommended.

Onsen Notes:
• All onsens we visit are tattoo-friendly
• Private baths can be reserved on request, around 13,000 JPY for two hours, subject to availability

• Lake Ashinoko Sky Line - After lunch, if time permits, we will travel along a second iconic road in the Fuji/Hakone region. This route offers an even closer view of Fuji, Lake Ashinoko, and even the sea! There are four breathtaking panoramas along the road, and we will stop at each one.
• The Hakone Open-Air Museum - After lunch and relaxation at the onsen, it will be time to hit the road again and visit the open-air museum. It features collections of artworks by Picasso, Henry Moore, Taro Okamoto, Yasuo Mizui, Churyo Sato, Susumu Shingū, and many others, with over a thousand sculptures displayed within 70,000 square meters of green garden. It is both mesmerizing and relaxing for adults and children alike.
• Pola Museum of Art - If the weather isn’t favorable, or if time allows, or if interested in both, we will visit the Pola Museum, which is indoors. The museum is nestled in a forest of beech trees and hidden in the wooded mountains of Hakone. The award-winning modern architecture beautifully contrasts and harmonizes with the surrounding nature. The museum exhibits a world-class collection of Western and Japanese paintings, ceramics, and cosmetic utensils, with a focus on impressionist paintings.
