About this experience
I invite you to break free from the bustling metropolis for 1 day and head to Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park! You will admire Mount Fuji and stroll along Lake Ashi, enjoying the scent of cedar trees. Visit a traditional Japanese garden and village where craftsmen reside. And if desired, relax in hot springs overlooking the mountain landscape.
