Transport from the meeting point, Big Buddha entry and the cruise are included with that option; Mount Fuji visibility depends on the weather. 4.83 from 1661 reviews at €90 per person for 11h. In our comparison: #30 of 39 in Mt Fuji & Hakone Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Begin your unforgettable journey with a visit to Big Buddha of Kotoku-in (if selected), a majestic 13-meter bronze statue that embodies peace and the essence of Japanese Buddhism. Continue to Hakone for a scenic cruise on Lake Ashi (if chosen), gliding across its tranquil waters and, weather permitting, enjoying the breathtaking reflection of Mount Fuji. Next, explore Oshino Hakkai, a village famous for its crystal-clear ponds fed by Mount Fuji’s underground springs. Enjoy lunch (if selected) or discover the local cuisine at your own pace while strolling among traditional houses and soaking in the serene atmosphere. Next, visit Oishi Park, the perfect spot to admire Mount Fuji amid seasonal blooms and Lake Kawaguchi’s serene waters, capturing unforgettable photos of Japan’s natural beauty.
