The seaside town of Kamakura is a great first stop for your journey. Formerly the centre of Japan’s government, numerous temples, shrines and historical sites are located here, including the famous Great Buddha. The 11.4m high bronze statue of Amida Buddha is the second tallest in Japan and has been kept intact since its construction in the mid-13th century, outlasting its surrounding building.

Day 03 (Tue, 10 Dec'24)

Lake Yamanaka – Yaizu 
(Breakfast/-/Dinner)
Hotel: Nippondaira Hotel or similar
 
Known as the “spring of the gods”, Oshino Hakkai is a set of eight springs fed by the snow melt from Mt Fuji. Spring water is filtered down through layers of soil over 80 years, resulting in crystal clear water that is one of the top 100 spring waters in Japan. The cold water is available for drinking at the source, and also fills deceptively deep ponds of freshwater plants and fish.
 
Enter the enchanting world of Fuji Kachoen Garden Park, a flower garden and bird sanctuary. See beautiful flowers all year-round including fuchsias, unique hydrangeas, and even a Mt Fuji replica made from begonias! Not forgetting our feathered friends, get up close and interact with penguins, emus, flamingos and up to 30 species of owls.
 
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Japan’s New Three Views, stop by at Miho no Matsubara. The black sand on the seashore here contrasts against the green pine trees and blue sea, creating a picture-perfect scene with a fabulous view of Mt Fuji and the Izu Peninsula across the bay.

 

 

Day 04 (Wed, 11 Dec'24)

Yaizu – Ito
(Breakfast/-/Dinner)
Hotel: Kira no Sato (Private Hot Spring) or similar
 
Go shopping at Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport Numazu, a large shopping mall in central Numazu. With over 200 shops carrying local and international brands and a range of dining options, you can get your shopping fix here!
 
At 400 metres, the Mishima Skywalk is the longest pedestrian-only suspension bridge in Japan. From here you can see Japan’s highest peak, Mt Fuji, and Japan’s deepest bay, Suruga Bay, along with nature views spreading as far as the eye can see.
 
Later, walk around the peaceful town of Shuzenji Onsen. The oldest hot spring town in Izu, it is home to Shuzenji Temple, an important cultural property, a bamboo grove, quaint cafes, and many other historical sights. The rich history and traditional beauty of the town make it an attractive place for an afternoon stroll.

Day 05 (Thu, 12 Dec'24)

Ito
(Breakfast/-/Dinner)
Hotel: Kira no Sato (Private Hot Spring) or similar
 
Shaped like an upside-down bowl, Mt Omuro is an extinct volcano covered in mountain grass with a 300-metre-wide crater. Take a chair lift up the mountain to stroll round the crater and be treated to 360-degree panoramic views of the surroundings which include Mt Fuji, Hakone and the seven islands of Izu.
 
A mix of botanical garden and zoo, Izu Shaboten Zoo is a unique facility which consists of an extensive cactus greenhouse and a zoo with around 140 varieties of animals. From winter to spring, this is also where you can find cute capybaras soaking contentedly in hot water at Japan’s original capybara outdoor bath.
 
A gushing waterfall backed by basalt cliffs, Joren Waterfall is located along the Kano River in a quiet forest. Surrounded by trees and the roaring spray of the falls dropping from a height of 25 metres, the air here feels cool throughout the year.

Day 06 (Fri, 13 Dec'24)

Ito – Tokyo
(Breakfast/-/-)
Hotel: Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo or similar
 
(Car return at Nakano Sakaue)
 
The beautiful Lake Ashi with Mt Fuji in the background is probably the scene most people think of when Hakone comes to mind. Some of the best views here can be had by taking the Lake Ashi Cruise out onto the iconic lake where you can be surrounded by the spectacular mountain, water and forests of Hakone.
 
Afterwards, take the Hakone ropeway up to Owakudani, a crater formed from the eruption of Mt Hakone around 3,000 years ago. See the sulphurous fumes, hot springs and rivers on the mountain and admire the splendid view of Mt Fuji from here.
 
The Hakone Open Air Museum is an art lover’s paradise with unique art pieces spread across 70,000 square metres of open space. Art pieces combine beautifully with the surrounding trees, mountains and valley to create a harmonious balance with nature. The museum includes a massive multicoloured spiral tower you can climb, multiple play spaces for children amongst art, and one of the best collections of Picasso’s work.
