What to expect
A stroll around Lake Ashi and breathtaking views of Fuji
I will show you the best angles of Mount Fuji and tell you how many times it has been painted by artists, which deities, according to local legends, live on it, and why the Japanese are so proud of it. In addition to Fuji, you will encounter another amazing natural attraction - the mountain-surrounded Lake Ashi. Sailing on a stylized pirate ship, you will see brightly red gates against a picturesque forest background and hear the legend of a dragon and a monk who founded a Shinto shrine by the water.

A cable car will take you to the Owakudani Valley of Boiling Geysers, located at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the Hakone mountains and observe volcanic smoke rising right before your eyes.
