The 6 Onsen Experiences in Tokyo a First Trip Should Cover

1.Private Tour to Fuji/Hakone – Onsen, Art, Nature

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 10 hours · from $322Our pick

Review of a private Tokyo to Fuji and Hakone day trip with shrine visits, Lake Ashi views, art museums, and a tattoo-friendly onsen.

“Our day trip was one for the books. Greatly enhanced by our young guide Leny. Even though he is not Japanese, his passion for Japanese culture shone through his knowledge and passionate storytelling. As a person he was also very, very personable and such an interesting, relatable human being. It helped he had creative judgment as we made him co-director of our tiktoks. The itinerary itself was well thought through --- we went to a temple and an onsen...we did not get to see Mt. Fuji (it was cloudy) but that did not matter in the end. Thank you Leny!”

The drive was pleasant and the car was very nice and the seats were very comfy. He was very informative and accommodating. Very nice and memorable trip.”
