Hakone Open-Air Museum

The Hakone Open-Air Museum is Japan’s first outdoor museum, located in the scenic hills of Hakone. This museum is known for its impressive blend of art and nature, featuring large-scale sculptures, installations, and art pieces spread across beautifully landscaped grounds with views of the surrounding mountains.

Hakone Owakudani

Owakudani is a popular and dynamic volcanic valley located in Hakone, Japan. Formed around 3,000 years ago during the last eruption of Mount Hakone, it is known for its active geothermal activity, with steam vents and bubbling hot springs scattered across the landscape. Visitors to Owakudani can witness the valley’s striking scenery, characterized by rugged terrain and a distinct sulfuric smell that permeates the air. 

One of the unique attractions in Owakudani is the “black eggs” (Kuro-tamago), which are regular eggs boiled in the natural hot springs, turning their shells black due to the sulfur in the water. Local legend says that eating one of these eggs can add seven years to your life.

Lake Ashi Pirate cruise

Fabi was an awesome tour guide. He was helpful in suggesting when best to start the tour to Mt Fuji and surrounding areas to avoid traffic when leaving Tokyo and avoid the crowds once there. He explained all the different places in detail and gave ample time to explore. He even suggested a viewpoint of Mt Fuji which is not amongst the common ones. He also has a great sense of humour. I would recommend using him.

Nous avons passé la journée autour du Mont Fuji fin Juillet. Notre chauffeur privé Israr a été d'excellents conseils toute la journée, prenant le temps d'explications des différents sites visités en restant toujours à notre écoute.
