You will be dropped off at the 5th Station climbing track, which is the departure of the four main trails to climb to the summit. At 2,300 meters (7,546 feet) above sea level, this spot offers magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Meals are not included in this tour, so be sure to pack something ahead of time. You'll also be able to buy some snacks at stalls located at the 5th Station location. However, there are no cafes or restaurants near the area.

After lunch, the bus will drive you to Kojiri Terminal. From there, it's time to take the Lake Ashi Cruise to Hakone-en (15 minutes). With clear skies, you will also be able to enjoy the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. Lake Ashi is situated along the southwest wall of the caldera of Mt. Hakone; it's actually a crater lake, the result of a powerful volcanic eruption nearly 3,000 years ago.

You'll then use the Komagatake Ropeway (a 7-minute ride) to the peak of Mt. Komagatake (50 minutes). Walk around the peak and discover the Hakone Shrine Mototsumiya, the original Hakone Shrine.
