Hakone day trip from Tokyo with a pirate-boat cruise, ropeway to Mt. Hakone, volcanic Owakudani black eggs, optional onsen, and Fuji shopping.
“The grouper was small and guide Tina was very helpful and good at explaining in English and Chinese. The trip to Hakone, cruise, cable car was over by 1 pm. Rat of the time was spent in gotemba outlet mall. View of Mt Fuji was obscured by the clouds. They say this is normally the case on south side of Fuji. So if seeing Fuji is the primary objective plan for Fuji station or kawaguchiko. For better chances of seeing Mount Fuji”
