A fully private day from Tokyo to Hakone: your own fluent English-speaking guide, your own car, and nobody else on board. Your guide collects you at your hotel in the morning, walks the viewpoints and the shrine with you, and drives you back in the evening.
The day as we plan it: the Hakone Turnpike and its viewpoints, the Mt Taikan observation deck for Mt Fuji above Lake Ashi on a clear day, Hakone Shrine and its torii standing in the lake, then a Hakone hot spring we know well, with lunch at its own restaurant. Back in Tokyo around 18:30.
Prefer art to a bath? Swap the onsen for the Hakone Open-Air Museum or the Pola Museum of Art; Owakudani and Amazake Chaya, a 400-year-old teahouse, can be added if the day allows.
Tattoos are accepted at the onsen we use. Onsen entry, lunch and museum tickets are paid on the day. Pickup and drop-off at any hotel in Tokyo's 23 wards. The tour is private: only your party, your guide and the car.
