• Peak Seasons: There are many peak seasons in Hakone, but it is especially busy during Autumn as Hakone is one of the most beautiful locations of Japan to view autumn foliage.

• Standard Cancellation Policy:
• 100% refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance of the start time of the experience. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the start time of the experience will receive no refund
• PLEASE FILL OUT THE TOUR FORM: After your booking, you will receive a link to the Hakone Form (within 48 hours) that asks for pertinent information required for this booking.

• Preparing a customized tour requires some time, especially if reservations for restaurants or other venues are required. We recommend making a reservation as early as possible. Ideally, it should be 3 months before your travel date, or 1 month before the travel date at the very least. For Custom Tour bookings that are requested with less than 7 days before the travel date, we may not be able to arrange your custom tour in time so your booking request may be cancelled and you will receive a full refund.
• Why am I charged a service fee if I make a cancellation after you started planning the trip?
• Organizing and planning a trip requires a lot of time and if we have made reservations on your behalf, it may be very challenging to cancel some booking requests.

• If you cancel the tour any time after we have sent you the custom Itinerary Sheet, the service fee of 15% of your total tour cost will be nonrefundable.
• If your cancellation falls within the fees applied to the Standard Cancellation Policy, the service fee of 15% will no longer take effect. You will only be responsible for the cancellation fee specified in the Standard Cancellation Policy. Please carefully review the terms and conditions specified on the checkout page.
• Although this is a private tour, the tour guide will only wait for you for up to 30 minutes of start time before the tour is cancelled

Our tour leader Kumiko absolutely planned our tour around the things we love. It was jam packed with wonderful sight seeing and activities in beautiful places . She was kind and thoughtful of our needs. The day was filled with heavy rain and she adjusted things to work around this.
Such a variety of sights like the modern art gallery, Shinto & Buddhist Shrines a ride across the lake in a pirate boat, a ride over the mountains in a gondola. Even a sushi lunch where the chef showed off his skills preparing individual meals with skill. The final visit was to the hot sulphur pools where I could soak my feet- so relaxing! It could have been a disastrous day, but Kumiko made it fun.
Thankyou.

Hakone exceeded all our expectations! Our guide, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, made the entire experience even more enriching. We were blessed with sunshine throughout our trip, allowing for clear views of the majestic Mount Fuji. But Hakone's beauty went far beyond the mountain - it was springtime in bloom, and the vibrant landscape stole the show. We spent countless moments capturing the breathtaking scenes with our cameras.

We had a lovely day. Our guide, Izumi Aizawa, looked after us very well. We were lucky with the sunny weather and enjoyed beautiful views of Mount Fuji. We spent some time at the Hakone Outdoor Museum which has a fine collection of Henry Moore's work set among the cherry blossom in the most suitable setting along with works by many other sculptors including Japanese artists. The rest of the day was well organised too. We visited the fine, atmospheric shrine on the edge of the lake. We were fortunate to have such a well informed and experienced guide for the day.

We had a great time with Japan Awaits and our tour guide. Thanks Alice for helping us to design this tour. We highly recommend opting for private transportation, as suggested by Alice, which significantly saved travel time from Tokyo to Hakone. This personalized approach made our journey more enjoyable and efficient.

Our tour guide,Azusa, was fantastic. A very knowledgeable woman who spoke very good English. She was fun to be with, and the sites we saw were exactly what we wanted. The tour was exceedingly well planned, down to the last minute, yet we never felt rushed.
