Begin your tour with a stroll along peaceful trails, surrounded by lush greenery and riverside views. After about 30 minutes, reach the bottom of the valley, where you’ll find some picturesque spots for photography. Take a rest stop and enjoy some refreshing drinks provided by your guide.

This river spot is perfect for Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sound of water, and rest your eyes on the patches of light coming through the leaves and branches.

After the rest stop, continue your way up to the opposite river bank. The total walk is about 3 km and takes around 1.5 hours, including the break.

At the end of the walk, enjoy afternoon tea at a dessert shop with over 100 years of history making Japanese confectionary. Chat with the owner and savor the snacks he makes.

In this Half-day Hike Hakone Hachiri tour, you will start from Hakone Yumoto Station.

You will hike 2-3 hours along the old Tokaido highway some on cobbled paths and some on forest trails between Hakone Yumoto and Lake Ashi. Some part of this path is off-the-beaten track and we normally have the forest for ourselves. This part of the Hachiri has the best preserved cobbled path and more primitive forests. You will hike past the wood crafting village of Hakone – Hatajuku and we skip the steepest part of the trail by bus and reach a teahouse that has a history of 400 years. After an energising amasake, we will continue our hike to Lake Ashi where if you are lucky, you can have a picture with Mt Fuji and the lake view. The Hakone checkpoint is our last stop where you will understand the significance of Hakone in the history of Japan. At the end of the tour, you can then catch a bus or a ferry (pirate ship) to your next destination at around 1pm.
