A fully private day from Tokyo to Hakone on two wheels, with your own fluent English-speaking guide on the road with you. Ride Hakone's famous mountain roads on your own rental bike, or as a passenger behind your guide.
Riders rent the bike in their own name and pay for it; we guide you through the booking. You need a motorcycle licence from a 1949 Geneva Convention country plus an international driving permit, and you collect the bike the evening before. Passengers need no licence: we provide a helmet and gloves.
The day: the Hakone Turnpike, Mt Fuji from the Mt Taikan deck on a clear day, Hakone Shrine, then an onsen with lunch at your own pace, or the Open-Air Museum instead. The Fuji lakes on request, at an extra cost.
Tattoos are accepted at the onsen we use. Private open-air baths can be reserved from one month before your date. Your guide speaks fluent English and Japanese; other languages, such as French or Spanish, on request.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will pick you up at any hotel, Airbnb or train station within Tokyo's 23 wards. Upon
booking, please include your pick-up location in the "Special Requirements" section. There may be an additional surcharge for pick-up at other sites.
