Beautiful day at Fuji (Hakone) - We did a day trip to Hakone and Fuji with our guide Mari. What a wonderful experience! We met Mari at the Shinjuku station just west of our hotel, and hopped on the 2 hour train to Fuji. Visitors to Fuji don't always see the peak but we knew we had a good chance as it was a bright sunshine filled day. Mari seated us on the right of the train and on the ride up, Fuji burst into view in all its glory. We then transferred to a special railcar that climbs the mountain switchbacks to Hakone. We were there mid April and cherry blossoms in Tokyo were starting to fade, but at the higher altitude and cooler temps of Hakone they were in full bloom! We took a break and Mari walked us around some cherry blossom stands near the Hakone station, then next, a short ride up the steep hill on a funicular. At the top we disembark to transfer to cable car gondola for the final ascent to Fuji - Mari knew just where to stand and sit for the best views - and mid way along the Ropeway, Fuji appeared from behind a ridgeline - huge and snow covered. The ropeway ends at a large viewing station - we spent awhile walking around, admiring the unobstructed views of Fuji and taking plenty of pics. Despite the warm temps of Tokyo, and the sun, at Hakone it was cool and very windy - so if you are going be prepared and bring down jackets or raincoats against the wind. The winds built up to point that the Ropeway was shut down, resulting in a huge line for busses - but with Mari's help, we called a cab and got back home at a reasonable time. A great day with lots of memories.

A great tour but not for one day - The tour was great as well as the tourguide. I would suggest to do this tour in two days. For one day to get there and back is to far. But overall a great experience.

A bit too much traveling for a one day trip - We wanted to spend the day with a local and take a day trip from Tokyo to Hakone. Our goals were to see the old town, the shrine, Mt Fuji and enjoy an onsen. We were staying in center city Tokyo and took the subway to the train station (30 minutes), then we had to wait to take the 1.5 hour train to Hakone, where we promptly boarded a bus that took us on a 30 minute ride to the town of Hakone and the launch to the boat. We waited in line for 20 minutes to ride a 30 minute boat ride across the lake. Once we got off the boat we had to take a tram to the top of the mountain. After 45 minutes on the mountain top looking at Mount Fuji and the sulphur hot spots, we had to turn around and do the same travel to get back to Tokyo. We didn't have time for a leisurely lunch or a visit to an onsen. The scenery was beautiful and we were lucky to have seen Mt Fuji. We heard from many, that they weren't as lucky. On another note, our local host was not what we expected. She didn't seem interested in showing off her area and wasn't very organized. Maybe we wouldn't have had to wait in some many lines, if she had planned our journey a bit better. I spoke to City Unscripted afterwards and the representative was completely understanding and has offered us more than adequate compensation. Based on their follow up, I will use City Unscripted again, because I really like spending time with a local.
