Your day starts early with pickup in one of two locations in central Tokyo. Take in the scenery as you depart Tokyo for the drive to Mt. Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain. Proceed by coach to Mt. Fuji’s 5th Station, located at 7,545 feet (2,300 meters), about halfway up the mountain and offers vantage point for Mt Fuji and the surrounding lakes (subject to weather conditions). The 5th Station also features shrines, torii gates, souvenir shops, and perhaps a few climbers completing their preparations for their ascent. Enjoy an included lunch (if you select the tour with lunch option). Then, ride the Hakone Ropeway for aerial views of Mt Fuji and the surrounding scenery. Continue to Lake Ashi, located nearby in Hakone National Park. Admire the pretty scenery as you take a short cruise across the lake. Ride the evening bullet train (Shinkansen) for your return to Tokyo Station. Note that the itinerary may change depending on weather and other conditions.
