Hakone Holidays

Located within Fuji Hakone National Park, Hakone serves as a gateway to Mount Fuji. Notoriously elusive, Japan’s most famous and sacred mountain is often hidden by clouds; however, even for those who are not fortunate enough to catch a glimpse, volcanically active Hakone offers a wealth of attractions and experiences.

Renowned for its striking natural beauty, the area features forested mountains, serene lakes, and dramatic landscapes. A cruise across Lake Ashi reveals sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, with the chance- on a clear day - to see Mount Fuji rising in the distance.

Beyond its scenery, this volcanically active region is famous for its onsen (hot spring baths), where visitors can relax in mineral-rich waters. A stay in a traditional ryokan, complete with carefully prepared meals and attentive hospitality, is an essential part of the Hakone experience, offering both comfort and a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural traditions.

Trailfinders offers a range of Hakone holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Japan on a self guided holiday, a sociable small group tour, a stopover or a cruise holiday, they are the perfect people to ask.
