A fully private day from Tokyo to Hakone in a Japanese sports car, with your own fluent English-speaking guide at the wheel. You never drive: your guide drives all day.
The car: Option A, a Toyota GR86 or Subaru WRX S4, both with four seats, for up to three guests. Option B, the Mazda MX-5 convertible, for one guest. Option C, something rarer, such as a Nissan GT-R, any JDM, or even a European sports car, on request: the rental is charged on top of the tour, depending on the car, and confirmed for your date. Book Option C at least 72 hours ahead.
The day: the curves of the Hakone Turnpike, Mt Fuji from the Mt Taikan deck on a clear day, Hakone Shrine and its torii standing in Lake Ashi, then a Hakone hot spring with lunch, or the Open-Air Museum. Back in Tokyo around 18:30.
Tattoos are accepted at the onsen we use. Onsen entry, lunch and museum tickets are paid on the day. Your guide speaks fluent English and Japanese; other languages, such as French or Spanish, on request.
