Our driver picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at Haneda Airport Departures (Terminal 3) as requested. It was a very comfortable and safe ride and the vehicle was very clean and spacious. Thank you so much!

Hakone Day Tour from Tokyo by Private Car
Your car and driver for the whole day — from 8 hours, 320 km included
Go anywhere and change plans on the fly — it's your private car for the day
No driving, no parking, no navigating — a professional, English-coordinated driver
One car for the family — Alphard (up to 4) or HiAce (up to 9), child seats on request
Hakone's famous 'transport loop' — train, cable car, ropeway, boat, bus — is fun on paper and queues in practice: on busy days you can spend more time waiting in lines than looking at Mt. Fuji. A private charter replaces the whole loop with one car. Your driver collects you at your Tokyo hotel, and the day covers Hakone Shrine's lakeside torii, Lake Ashi, the steaming Owakudani valley and the Open-Air Museum in whatever order the weather favours — Fuji views are best chased, not scheduled. Fixed hourly pricing with tolls, parking and fuel included, and if you'd rather end the day at a Gora or Sengokuhara ryokan instead of returning to Tokyo, we drop you at the ryokan door.
