Japan · ONSEN & HOT SPRING TRIPS IN TOKYO
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 onsen & hot spring trips in Tokyo worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 10 hours exploring Hakone and Fuji country in a private vehicle with guides such as Elie, Lenny, Evan, and Luca. Expect scenic viewpoints, Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine, a tattoo-friendly onsen, local food options, and time for the Open-Air Museum or Pola Museum.
“Loved our personalized Hakone day trip! It was a unique itinerary and the onsen was PERFECT!”
Travel by private vehicle from Tokyo with guides such as Elie, Lenny, Evan, Lucas, or Dominik. See Mt. Fuji viewpoints, Hakone Shrine, Lake Ashi, and a 400-year-old tea house, then choose an onsen and museum. The day is flexible, but lunch, onsen, and museum tickets cost extra.
“Two nice, young foreigner guides(not Japanese) only two years living in Japan accompanied us. They were more than one hour LATE due to traffic (everyday raffic in Tokyo is well known, they should know) I was very excited to see Mt Fuji, this trip vowed to take us to unbeaten roads with less tourists and experience beautiful Hakone. They took us to a view point for Mt Fuji, yes no crowds but Mt Fuji is seen from afar..very far. You woould not feel the grandeur of this iconic mountain viewing it from a great distance! And that was it for the Mt Fuji feature. Lake Ashi was also a view…”
Join English-speaking guide Jordan for an eight-hour small-group outing from Takaosanguchi Station. Ride the cable car, visit the monkey park, hike Mt. Takao, eat Hachioji ramen or soba, see Yakuou-in, and unwind at a tattoo-friendly natural hot spring.
“The Mt Takao tour was absolutely wonderful. It was a very personal experience with a knowledgeable guide. Jordan knew so much about the mountain and the local area. From the monkeys, to the hike, to the onsen, the entire experience felt like a much needed getaway from the city. My favorite part of the tour was the onsen with many different springs to choose from. But there is something for everyone!”

“Bus was basic Middle stop was tourist trap- far too busy to enjoy We’d booked for Onsen (3rd element), but this seemed an afterthought, as all except us were on for shopping at Gotemba as 3rd element”
Pick a city, a mountain or a counter.
