Motorcycle Day Tour from Tokyo to Mt Fuji & Hakone — Scenic Roads, Lake Ashi & Onsen
Select participants and date
The engine hums like a promise as you peel out of Tokyo's grid and into a different Japan: one measured in curves, pine-scented air, and the sudden openness of mountain light. The road climbs, and the city noise thins until only the wind and the motorcycle under you shape the morning. Ahead, Mount Fuji rises—steady, impartial—its cone turning from veiled gray to a sharply lit silhouette as clouds slide off its shoulders.

Adventure Tips
Bring a full-face helmet
A full-face helmet reduces wind fatigue and improves visibility when conditions turn foggy near Fuji.
Layer for temperature swings
Temperatures can drop quickly with elevation—pack a thin insulating midlayer and windproof outer.
Carry waterproof protection
Afternoon rain is common in summer; waterproof pants and a jacket keep you riding if the weather shifts.
Reserve onsen time
If you want a private bath or a massage after the ride, book in advance to secure availability.

History
Hakone’s role as a station along the old Tokaido route made it a strategic passage between Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto; many shrines and post-station traditions trace back to that era.
Conservation
Hakone and Fuji areas manage heavy visitation with trail regulations and protected zones; riders should stick to public roads, avoid off-road driving, and respect quiet hours near ryokans and onsen.
