HIGHLIGHTS:

* Visit the 5th Station of Mt Fuji
* Cruise Lake Ashi for breathtaking views over the landscape

We depart for the first part of our journey by bus from Hamamatsucho to the oft pictured and perfectly shaped volcano, Mt Fuji. We arrive at the Fuji Visitor Centre, where you can learn about the volcano through interactive displays and films. Next it’s time to travel through the clouds 7,546 ft above sea level to Mt Fuji 5th Station – nicknamed the border between heaven and earth – located halfway up the mountain.

Admire the views before embarking on a fifteen minute cruise from Kojiri to Hakone-en across the picture perfect Lake Ashi, a crater lake formed as a result of a powerful volcanic eruption nearly 3,000 years ago. Once on board, behold Mt Fuji and other surrounding mountains in all their glory. At the lake’s shore we board the Mt Komagatake Ropeway, Japan’s highest aerial tram, which takes you flying 4,452 ft up in seven minutes to the peak of Mt Komagatake, where views over Mt Fuji, the Izu Islands and the coast unfold before your eyes. We then return to by bus where the tour disbands at Odawara Station – perfect for those planning to travel on to Kyoto, Osaka or Nagoya.
