The Hakone National Park, known as the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, is the most incredible outdoor-excursion in Japan. With relaxing hot-springs, Lake Ashi, and of course, Mt. Fuji, The Hakone National Park is a nature-lover's paradise.
Divided into four general areas, including the Hakone area, Mount Fuji area, Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Islands, there is much to see in this park. In Hakone, you’ll encounter Lake Ashi, also known as Lake Ashinoko, with Mt. Fuji as its backdrop. Another popular destination in Hakone is Mt. Kintoki, filled with the ruins and shrines of old-Japan.
Then, there is the legendary Mount Fuji. At 12,388 feet (3,776 meters), Mt. Fuji is Japan’s highest mountain. With spectacular, 360-degree views of Lake Ashinko, the Hakone mountains, and the Owakudani Valley, climbing Mt. Fuji is an unforgettable experience.
Finally, there’s the Izu Peninsula and Izu Islands. On the Izu Peninsula, the Atami Hotsprings have geysers and onsen baths where hot volcanic water pumps from underground. The ocean surrounding the Izu Islands is a great place to scuba-dive, surf, fish, cruise, and enjoy boat rides.

One o f the best day trips I've ever done. Highly recommended. Be prepared for a really full day of touring. Excellent value. Our guide (?Ako) was excellent.

Great tour although it is very weather-sensitive. Fortunately we were able to see Mt. Fuji despite of the slight fog/humidity in the air.
I would have preferred to ride the ropeway for the full path instead of only the first part, anyway it was spectacular.
Very good guide as well.
