Take to the sky and sea on an exploration of Japan's famed Hakone National Park. Your tour begins with a scenic, 2 1/2-hour drive to the park. Keep your camera ready, as photo opportunities abound. Upon arriving, you'll board a 18-passenger aerial gondola for a 8-minute ropeway journey to Owakudani Valley Station. You'll be awestruck by the breathtaking views of the park and Owakudani Valley's boiling and smoking thermal springs. At Owakudani Valley Station, you can opt to take a path that affords a close-up look at some of the steaming sulfur springs. Next, you'll board a unique, Viking-style boat for a 30-minute cruise across Lake Ashi, a mountain lake created by volcanic activity. Along the way, your guide will point out such sights as the forest-clad mountain slopes and Mt. Fuji's majestic cone. A hearty Western-style lunch rounds out this all-day tour.
