Description

Allow me to guide and interpret for you a personalized tour of Hakone, one of the highlight destinations of any visit to Japan Hakone is an ancient caldera, about 15 miles in diameter, these days with a very low level eruption ongoing in Owakudani crater. We will fly right across the mouth of this active crater on the ropeway (not recommended for visitors with respiratory or heart disorders) Another mini crater within Hakone caldera is Lake Ashinoko which is about half a mile deep. We will cross this lake that never freezes, because of volcanic hot spring water gushing up from its depths, using Hakone's famous pirate ship. Mt Fuji views, weather permitting Enjoy strolling a short section of the Old Tokaido Foot Highway, that has connected Japan's main centers of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka for centuries. Towering 400 year-old Japanese Cedars line both sides of the Highway At Amazake Teahouse allow me to interpret your chat with the 13th generation managing Yamamoto family. Let's have fun exploring together.
