Itinerary
Mount Fuji 5th Station is the entrance to climbing Mount Fuji. Many people climb Mount Fuji from here as a starting point. (It takes 2hours from Tokyo to Mt.Fuji 5th station and travelers usually stay at 5th station for 30mins)
You can enjoy a beautiful view of Mount Fuji over Lake Kawaguchi. There are two different views of Mount Fuji. One is the mountain itself and the other is inverted in its reflection on the water. (It takes 30mins from Mt.Fuji 5th station to Lake Kawaguchi and travelers usually stay at Lake Kawaguchi for 30mins)
Owakudani is the area around a crater created during the last eruption of Mount Hakone some 3000 years ago. Today, much of the area is an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes and hot springs can be experienced. It also has good views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Eggs cooked in Owakudani's hot spring pools with their shells blackened by the sulfur are on sale at shops in the area, and eating one is said to prolong one's life by seven years. (It takes 1hour from Lake Kawaguchi to Hakone and travelers usually stay at Owaku-dani Valley for 40mins)
The cable car takes you to Owakudani known as Great Boiling Valley. You can enjoy a beautiful scenery from the cable car.
Hakone shrine was built in 757. Many military commanders prayed at this shrine devotedly, which brought it fame throughout the country. It has a big gate. It provides an excellent view as it looks like floating on the lake ashi.
You can take a sightseeing ship which navigates Lake Ashi. It looks like a pirate ship! On a clear day, a breathtaking view of Mt.Fuji and the gate of Hakone shrine can be enjoyed from the ship. (Travelers usually stay at Lake Ashinoko for 40mins and it takes 2hours from Hakone to Tokyo)

We asked for an 8-hour tour of Kamakura from a hotel in Tokyo with 6 people including foreign guests. I feel like I have been guided by professionals from all over the world, from the comfort of the car, to the safety of driving, to the extensive English-speaking guides, to the detailed attention to weather and seasons. I'd like to ask you again.

Daniel was amazing, he was super nice, happy, and helpfull
Dear Explorer37170458810, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I imagine you’ve already made it safely back home to Michigan by now. I hope everything went smoothly. I truly hope your journey in Japan left you with many unforgettable memories. Although Tokyo said goodbye with heavy rain on your departure day, I’d like to believe that’s just a reason for you to visit again. Next time, I’m sure Japan will welcome you with beautiful blue skies. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again someday! Warm regards, Daniel,Tang
Kana was an amazing Tour Guide and really showed us around the city. Highly recommend
Dear Stone S, Thank you very much for writing us a review. It was great meeting you and showing you the city. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. I hope you had an amazing time in Japan! Best, Outech Kana
My wife and I had a great tour to Mount Fuji and Hakone with Outech in April. Our guide Fontes was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He took us to some places away from other tourists so we could enjoy better views of the mountain, and we explored the surrounding area as well. Highly recommend Outech!
Dear EJMRDC Thank you so much for the review. April is a beautiful season for this area, and I was happy to take you to some quieter locations where you could enjoy the scenery in a more relaxed atmosphere. I truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again during a future trip to Japan.
We had an incredible experience for a day trip with Babu. He was very knowledgeable, respectful and our kids enjoyed the snacks he bought for them. Despite us being stuck in traffic and late, he ensured we see all the tourist spots and make the most of it. He took shortcuts and avoided the crowded touristy spots. We are incredibly grateful to Babu for showing us around Tokyo. We would recommend him anytime. Hopefully return back and see him once again. Thank u Babu
Dear Ujj827 Thank you very much for using our service, and it was my pleasure to assist you during the tour. I hope your stay in Japan will be wonderful, and I hope to see you next time as well. OUTECH Babu
We had such an amazing time! Our tour guide Kana was very pleasant to be around! She was very helpful and informative! We highly recommend
Dear keithmQ1202BF, Thank you very much for writing us a review. It was great meeting you and showing you Mount Fuji. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. I hope you’re having an amazing time in Japan! Best, Outech Kana
Fontes gave my wife and I an excellent Mt. Fuji and Hakone tour. He navigated everything seamlessly and made the day feel easy and well-paced, which was not trivial given traffic and how much ground you cover in that area. He hit all the key highlights while still leaving room to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed and helped us get amazing photos. The service and drive were top class. What stood out most was how well he managed timing, routes, and transitions. We were able to see the best viewpoints, avoid unnecessary delays, and get a strong sense of the area in a single day. He also shared helpful context along the way that made the experience more meaningful without overloading it. Overall, a smooth, well-executed tour that covered exactly what we were hoping to see. Would strongly recommend Fontes to experience Mt. Fuji and Hakone.
Dear dannyhS5649KU, Thank you very much for your review. It was my pleasure to be part of such a special celebration for you and Sammi. I hope you have a wonderful time exploring Japan over the next few days and create many more great memories together. Wishing you both all the best. Warm regards, Fontes
Fontes was a great guide. We had an amazing day at Mount Fuji seeing the sites and galleries. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
Dear kimberleyo977 Thank you! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I really enjoyed spending the day with you and Henry as well. I hope you’ll come back to Japan someday to experience another beautiful season here! Best regards, Fontes P.S.: Thank you for the photo!
We enjoyed our tour. The views are amazing and memorable. A little disappointed because Mt. Fuji is partly covered with clouds at that time thus we did not proceed to station 5. But overall the tour is very good. After exploring Lake Kawaguchi, we savored a wonderful Japanese lunch at a local restaurant. We also tried the blackened egg cooked in Owakudani's hot spiring pool. It's fascinating to learn that eating the black eggs is said to prolong one's life by seven years. We also enjoyed hiking up to Hakone Shrine, especially seeing the gigantic 800-year-old trees. We also savour the calmness and breathtaking view in Lake Ashinoko. We owe all these wonderful experiences to our fantastic tour guide, Mr. Babu (Maharjan Sanu Babu).
Thank you very much for taking time to write review. Unfortunately unable to see Mt Fuji but did Oshino Hakkai (8 oceans) instead of Mt Fuji 5th station. I am happy to hear that everybody enjoyed the tour. It was my pleasure to guide you Mt Fuji Hakone tour. Best regards, Outech Babu
