Allow our local guides to immerse you in the natural and cultural heritage of this unique part of Japan, so close to Japan’s capital city. Fuji, Hakone, Izu National Park also hosts World Heritage, Global Geopark, and Japan Heritage areas. Tour starts from Odawara bullet train station and concludes at Atami bullet train station, both on Japan’s Tokaido main trunk bullet train line (connecting Tokyo with Kyoto and Osaka) and less than 1 hour from Tokyo. To minimise carbon footprint, we use local public transport to move around from hike to hike on the tour. Hiking experience level: beginner~intermediate (must be capable of hiking up to 14kms per day over rolling volcanic terrain).
