Mount Fuji Tours
If you want to see both Mt Fuji and
Hakone in one day it is easier to take one of the organised tours from
Tokyo to see Mt Fuji as accessing Mt Fuji
area via
public transport is more challenging and best done over two days. Of course
trying to see
Hakone and Mt Fuji is
going to be a compromise as there is not enough time in one day to see both
properly. We recommend doing this trip on a week day as the roads out of
Tokyo can be packed on the weekends. Most organised tours
include the near by
Hakone and some include a return trip on the
Shinkansen (bullet train).
