Select participants and date
You step out of a Tokyo hotel at dawn and the city is already pirouetting into motion: delivery trucks threading alleys, neon shutters yielding to coffee steam, and a private van waiting to take you beyond the glass-and-steel skyline. By late morning the lanes thin, rice paddies and conifer ridgelines slide past the window, and Mount Fuji — spare, symmetrical, uncompromising — looms into view like a promise fulfilled.

Adventure Tips
Start early for clearer Fuji views
Traffic and low clouds build through the day; aim for sunrise-to-morning photo stops at Chureito Pagoda and Oshino Hakkai for the sharpest views.
Bring onsen-ready gear
If you plan to use a public onsen in Hakone, pack a small towel and be prepared to follow local bathing etiquette (no swimsuits, shower first).
Layer for temperature swings
Temperatures can drop 8–12°C between Tokyo and the Hakone ropeway summit — pack a windproof midlayer.
Reserve Fuji 5th Station ahead
If you want to reach the Fuji 5th Station or climb higher, request it at booking — access and timing require planning.
