About this activity

This tour involves 4–5 hours of hiking in Hakone (about 8–9 km), so guests need good fitness. You will traverse part of the outer rim of the Hakone caldera, with possible views of Lake Ashi, the Pacific Ocean and Mt Fuji when the weather is clear. After descending toward Sengokuhara, the day finishes with lunch and an onsen.

The ascent takes about 90 minutes and gains roughly 500 metres. The ridge walk continues for about 2.5 hours through bamboo grass and seasonal scenery before descending to Togendai.

Travel from Hakone-Yumoto to the trailhead is by local bus. The bus fare, lunch and onsen admission are not included in the Viator tour price.
