Not According to Plan but Still a Memorable DayB3582NEjims
We had a very fun time during our tour with Kaz on October 17th. Due to mechanical issues with the Hakone Ropeway, we were not able to follow the day’s planned route/itinerary. Kaz made some thoughtful decisions to avoid wasting time and make the most of our day. This included visiting both the Pola Museum of Art and the Hakone Open Air Museum. We enjoyed an extensive collection of Impressionist paintings at the Pola Museum and the large variety of sculpture at the Open Air Museum, including numerous works by Picasso. In between the museum visits, we were also able to enjoy a trip across Lake Ashi. Many thanks to Kaz for making a memorable day.
Day visit to Hakone616sabihai
The highlight of the trip was the visit to the open air must. It was beautiful. All the rides were enjoyable and our guide was knowledgeable and considerate . I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.
Yes I would recommend this trip highly. The tour guide knew a lot about art which I was interested in. The highlight for me was the Open Air Museum. I wish I had more time to see all the other museums in Hakone with our guide.
Masa-san ( Masatoshi Fujii) made our Hakone visit truly memorable. His expert knowledge and thoughtful explanations brought the Hakone area, the Open-Air Museum, and the beautiful Shinto shrine to life, giving us a deeper appreciation of Japan’s history, culture, and traditions—especially their connection to Hakone. We highly recommend Masa-san to anyone visiting the area.

A thoughtful, enjoyable day in Hakone despite the rainWen_H
We had an enjoyable day with our guide, Hiroki Morikawa (Hiro), even though the weather did not cooperate. Inclement weather shut down the cable car, ropeway, and pirate ship loop, so Hiro adjusted the plan to keep us indoors as much as possible, which was a good call.
We visited the Okada Museum of Art, had a lovely lunch together, and then watched a fascinating demonstration of how Hakone's traditional yosegi puzzle boxes are made. Hiro guided us easily between stops by bus and the Hakone Tozan Railway.
Despite our best efforts, we were pretty wet by the time we got back to our hotel! But given the circumstances no one could control, we had a good day, and Hiro made the most of it with his knowledge, flexibility, and good company. If you are visiting Hakone, we recommend requesting Hiroki Morikawa. We would happily book with him again.

Fummy was wonderful! Despite a rainy day, he showed us around all the top spots in Hakone and shared some history/culture along the way. He met us in the lobby of our hotel, making the meeting & end point very convenient. He also go some great photos of us at the Hakone Shrine. 10/10 recommend! Thank you Fummy!

A great day in Hakone.FarAway307485
Oct 22, 2026, 12:00:58 AM Yumi was a wonderful guide. We had four sites/ activities scheduled in Hakone but needed to pivot due to windy, rainy weather that prevented us from taking a tour on Lake Ashi. However, there are so many things to do in Hakone that we still had a great time. These included the Hakone Shrine, The Hakone Open Air Museum, and the Ropeway. Yumi was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We enjoyed her company so much and she made a lasting impression. We will miss her!
Personalized Experience!Jessica_C
Had a wonderful personalized experience with Naho. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely recommend booking with her!
Personalized experience!AsSeenByJessC
Had a wonderful personalized experience with Naho. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. I’d highly recommend booking with her.
If weather forecast is poor, I’d suggest reaching out prior to your tour date to ask if she can arrange to book a car/taxi service for the day. We did this for half the day due to a downpour and it worked out very well! (I paid taxi service directly).
A wonderful day in Hakone with an amazing guide44keh
A wonderful day in Hakone with an amazing guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic day exploring Hakone with our lovely guide, Kate. She was incredibly kind, spoke excellent English, and made sure we had a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Before the tour, we had discussed the places we wanted to visit, and Kate carefully planned the day around our wishes. Even though we fell a little behind schedule, she managed to make sure we experienced everything on our list!
Kate was extremely knowledgeable about the area and Japanese culture and traditions. She shared so many interesting stories and insights along the way. She also knew all the little tips and tricks to make the most of our time, often helping us avoid long queues and making the entire day run smoothly.
What we especially appreciated was how she made sure everyone in our group felt included and involved throughout the day.
Kate even went above and beyond by arranging paper versions of our Hakone Freepasses in advance, as the ticket office had been closed when we arrived in Hakone. She knew that paper tickets would be the better option for us, and she was absolutely right! Our phones had very limited network coverage during the tour, so having the physical passes turned out to be a lifesaver.
Kate truly cared about giving us the best possible experience. Her kindness, knowledge, thoughtful planning, and attention to detail made our day in Hakone both enjoyable and memorable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would wholeheartedly recommend Kate to anyone visiting Hakone!
A spectacular day in Hakone with Ryoko!Robert W

Fabulous your experienceSusanDumond
Our Guide Atsushi was fantastic ! So knowledgeable about the history of Japan and the sites we were going to see. l! He really capture the essence of this area and loved how he took us the “reverse” route so we would avoid the crowds. The day was absolutely perfect with walking , sight seeing, pirate ship ride, gondola ride (saw Mt Fuji ) , gardens, and then dropped us off at the Open Air Museum which is totally worth going to ! Highly recommend our tour guide to do this tour !
Honeymoon in Hakoneiv_nr581
It was a very grateful and cultured experience. Thanks a lot to Shuji for the guide!
Cultural Treasures of Japan, a day to remember!karenmI1121XL
My guide was , Yumi. She had details of the place I wanted to go and what my main interests were. We visited the Tokyo National Museum in Ueno, a rich experience of Japanese history and culture. Yumi is knowledgeable, friendly and the perfect guide for me. I prefer to take time and immerse rather than rush and ‘tick off boxes’.
I would recommend Yumi very highly.
What a fun and easy way to see so much of Hakone! My dad and I had the best time getting to learn from our guide about the areas culture and history. He was also incredibly witty which made it even more fun! This experience was especially worth it if you are trying to see a lot of places around Hakone in one day. Highly recommend!
1 day Hakone experiencearqadq
Some great scenery and interesting cable car and Ropaway travel . If a tourist like us , Avoid weekends as a lot of locals also visit hakone over weekend .
Excellent Tour with Leo!travelingdmd
Spent a fabulous day on the Hakone Golden Route with our guide, Leo. Visited the volcano, ate a black egg , traveled on the hakone ropeway, did the sightseeing cruise on the lake and visited the Hakone Shrine. We decided to save the open air Museum for the next day. Leo was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of the area and very accommodating. Leo even helped me get a reservation at a Tokyo Restuarant two days from now that is in a high demand. Highly recommend.

It was great to have a private guide to show us around. He was lovely. We would have struggled to get around by ourselves.

An Unforgettable Day in Hakone with Masa!Lisa_R
We had an awesome tour of the Hakone area with Masa! Even though the weather prevented us from doing our planned hike, Masa seamlessly adapted the day and made sure we still had an incredible experience. He is exceptionally kind, helpful, and packed with interesting information about the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend booking with Masa to anyone visiting Japan and heading to Hakone!
An action packed visit to Hakone!victoriahD2588SK
Atsushi was an excellent guide and took us on a fully organised trip all around Hakone. He was very articulate and explained every place visited in much detail. Be ready to walk lots. It was a pleasure to meet him and hear about the area. Thank you.
Did not have the...David_H
Did not have the experience everyone else noted. Start at 9, dropped at our last stop at 12. Not a 6-8hr experience and not worth the money. We did 3 stops in 3 hrs, each stop rushed and I was told that the 3rd stop was the last of the day. I told our guide he can go if that’s the case. The possible itinerary is a posted on the listing far exceeds reality. We took the bus to the ropeway, ropeway to the lake, bus to the open air museum. We were supposed to stop by Hakone shrine/samurai path/town with the magic boxes, but immediately told to get on the bus as soon as we got off the boat. I could have organized this myself and came away with the same experience.
Fummy was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and made great use of the time we had
Highly recommend this tour!25stephn
Atsushi was an absolutely phenomenal guide, and we had an incredible day. He was so accommodating and willing to change plans to suit our needs. We had the best time and really loved everything he planned for us to do. He’s also a great conversationalist!
An Unforgettable Day With HiroHannah_L
Jul 11, 2026, 10:50:38 AM This is the perfect tour to experience the best of Hakone. Our guide, Hiro, was incredibly communicative beforehand and made sure we were able to visit all the places on our list. It was especially nice to experience Hakone from a local's perspective and explore places we wouldn't have found on our own. We were also lucky enough to have incredible views of Mount Fuji throughout the day from several different vantage points.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, and if you get Hiro as your guide, you're in for a treat. We had the best time with him and shared plenty of laughs.
Great and interesting guide, considerate of what you want and potential setbacks (typhoon)kevin L
I had learned a lot more about Hakone thanks to our tour guide Kate, she was very informative and considerate due to the typhoon we were hit with. She was also very encouraging and always offered to take photos of myself and my partner. I would recommend it to anyone who goes to Hakone

Jun 16, 2026, 12:10:31 PM The Hakone area is absolutely beautiful and there is a lot to see so it was great to have an excellent guide (Hiro) who was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Hiro was able to shepherd us around using public transit very effectively. Highlights included black eggs, superb view of Mt. Fuji, a short boat ride on Lake Ashinoko, and an incredible Azalea garden at Hotel de Yama.
Great day with Shuji in Hakone!Amy_W

Hiro-san knows Hakone!JasonB6980
Our guide, Hiro-san, did a wonderful job introducing us to the area of Hakone - leading us on a great tour of several requested destinations. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji at the top of the ropeway, had a fun ride on a pirate ship on Lake Ashi, enjoyed a fantastic lunch at a local restaurant, and picked up some great souvenirs at a puzzle-box store which have wowed our family and friends. One of the great things that Hiro did throughout the day was to educate and amuse us with numerous pictures, stories, and lessons from his backpack. It felt like Hiro-san was part of our family that day and we can't imagine having tried to experience Hakone's great sites without him.
Hakone tour was great!Elizabeth_h
Very organized, easy to get around with guide using public transit (that was part of the fun)…beautiful sites to see
Hakone was a highlight of our vacationlynnv748
We loved our day with Yumi. She was so warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. She took us to the major attractions in Hakone efficiently and helped us avoid long lines. We took cable cars, a lovely boat ride and the bus.
A seamless experiencellindgren0604
Leo was a great tour guide. We got to do and see all of the major Hakone sites. It was a perfect day.
Hiro was absolutely amazing! Even though it wasn’t the best day to see Mt. Fuji, Hiro took us around the Hakone loop and showed us everything! He was very knowledgeable about japanese history and even gave us our own japanese language lesson at the soba noodle place he took us to. I cannot recommend Hiro and this tour enough!!

Leo is great guide, easy to understand and knows the area and history well.
Overall, we had a very fulfilling day and if afforded more time, would book another trip
Don’t Miss Hakone- and ask for Shuji!ArizonaTucson
In hindsight, we NEVER could have covered so much area with such rich experiences without booking a tour. Just navigating from Point A to Point B would have been a total frustration and we would have lost valuable time. Our favorites were walking along the Cedar Tree- lined old highway path, the open air sculpture museum, Ropeway cable car, and Hakone check-point. We were so fortunate that the weather and visibility cooperated and we got to see Mt Fuji! We did the pirate ship - and it was enjoyable to see the shoreline and shrines from the boat, but if I had to cut one thing out, it would be that experience. All the way our guide, Shuji, was informing and educating us in the history and meaning of our experiences. Shuji is very knowledgeable, accommodating and a great storyteller. Thanks to Shuji we had a most enjoyable stay in Hakone.
Hiro-san was a wonderful and thoughtful guide. Even though the weather was rainy and overcast, Hiro-san created a great itinerary that took into account our interests and his suggestions. We really enjoyed the 1:1 tour experience. It felt personalized and warm in a way that felt very special. We were able to get a unique glimpse into the Japanese culture, history, and language--as well as getting to know our guide. Thank you!
