HAKONE: A VOLCANIC EXPERIENCE, THEN FLYING OVER LAKE ASHI
Set off from the port in Tokyo and head into the Hakone area, where history and volcanic energy coexist without making a fuss. Breathe in the sulfurous scent of Owakudani, taste the famous black eggs cooked in the boiling waters, take the cable car up to Lake Ashi and enjoy views that stretch as far as Mount Fuji when the weather decides to play ball. Then, relax on a lake cruise and finish up with dinner in a local restaurant before you head back.
A real mix of nature, active geology and views that know how to fix themselves in your memory.
Main stops
- Visit to the volcanic valley of Owakudani
- Tasting of black eggs cooked in the sulfurous water
- Hakone Ropeway: cable car to Lake Ashi
- Cruise on Lake Ashi
- Visit to Mount Fuji (weather permitting)
The programme
Disembark at the port in Tokyo and get ready for a change in vibe: Hakone isn't an excursion - it's a multi-sensory experience, above all for your nose. The first stop is Owakudani, the volcanic valley where the fumaroles immediately remind you that the earth beneath your feet is much more alive than it seems. Here, you can taste the famous black eggs cooked in the sulfurous water: it is said that they bring good luck, and in any case, you can tick this one off your list too, saying "Done that".
Then it's time to gain altitude: climb up on the Hakone Ropeway and let the cable car accompany you own to Lake Ashi. Look outside: amidst the mist, hills and open spaces, Mount Fuji may appear like a VIP who decides to make an appearance, but only when it suits them.
Once you arrive at Lake Ashi, it's time for a change in perspective: jump on board the cruise and enjoy Hakone from the water. It's the best way to get a sense of why this area is seen as one of the most iconic in Japan: calm waters in front of you, mountains all around, and you in the middle, savoring the moment without any rush.
Before heading back to the port, it's time for a final treat: dinner in a local restaurant - simple and genuine, just the way we like it. After a day like this, you've earned it.
Head back to the ship with the feeling that you've experienced volcanoes, cable cars, lakes and a good dose of Japanese madness in a single day. Hakone has surprised you, mission accomplished!
- In the event of volcanic activity and where warnings are issued, it will not be possible to access the Owakudani area.
- The cable car ride and cruise on Lake Ashinoko may not be possible in strong winds or other circumstances.
- In the event of the cable car/cruise being canceled, the itinerary may be subject to change (for example, the transfer will be by van from Owakudani to Lake Ashi, then to the restaurant).

Cruise along the Sumida River or across Tokyo Bay while enjoying a dinner of traditional dishes, with crispy tempura and fresh sashimi. Watch the city light up at night from a different perspective, as if Tokyo had decided to put on its glad rags just for you. After the cruise, you'll take the scenic route back to the port, bringing the evening to a stylish close.
Main stops
- Experience on a Yakatabune (traditional boat)
- Night cruise on the Sumida River or in Tokyo Bay
- Dinner on board with typical products
- Sightseeing return trip to the ship
The programme
Get ready for an evening that was once reserved for those wearing kimonos that cost more than a car. Yakatabune boats, which date back to the Heian period, were the preferred means of transport for feudal lords, samurai and wealthy merchants, where they would entertain important guests with food, sake and views over the water. Now it's all for you!
Climb aboard, get comfortable and watch as Tokyo passes by all around you. As the boat glides along the Sumida River or across Tokyo Bay, you'll sample some of the finest Japanese cuisine: steaming tempura, fresh sashimi, and a dinner that tastes of tradition, brought up to date.
The city outside will do the rest: illuminated bridges, skyscrapers reflected in the water and that irresistible blend of ancient and modern that makes Tokyo a city that's simply impossible to ignore. It's like viewing a deluxe version of the metropolis, directly from its floating lounge.
Once the cruise is over, you don't head back via any old route: Take the scenic route to the port and enjoy the last glimpses of the Japanese night.
You've just taken part in a thousand-year-old ritual, updated for Tokyo today: good food, water flowing by, sparkling lights, and you right there in the middle of the action, the star of the show. Do you really want it to end here?
Good to know- Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking well in advance.
- The boat is not wheelchair accessible.
- The tour does not include a guide, but you will be accompanied by a chaperon.

Day 5

- Visit to the Peace Park and to the Atomic Bomb Museum
The programme
Day 1 – Tokyo: from skyscrapers to spirituality
Your journey begins with one of the most stunning views in Japan: climb up the Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters of architectural audacity, where the city stretches out below you like a carpet of light and life. And it's truly stunning - the highest tower in Japan, the second highest in the world when it was built, where you can visit the Tembo Deck.
Once you're back down, you'll be catapulted into Japan's most traditional side in Asakusa, with its lanterns, temples and retro-style souvenirs. And on the subject of taste…here, a delicious lunch awaits you, more choreographed than a kabuki performance.
In the afternoon, it's time for silence: the Meiji Jingu Shrine awaits you. One of the best-loved Shinto shrines in Japan, immersed in a surprisingly silent park. Dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, this site will enchant you with its sacred atmosphere, imposing torii gates and paths surrounded by a forest of over 100,000 trees from every corner of Japan. It's a journey through time and spirit, in a Zen bubble in the heart of the city.
The day ends with check-in, dinner and bed. Tired? Maybe. Touched? Definitely.
Day 2 – Hakone: lakes, smoking earth and (possibly) an appearance from Mount Fuji
Today, we change rhythm: leave the city behind and head for the mountains of Hakone. (Who knows if Mount Fuji will make an appearance, or decide to stay hidden). Next stop: Lake Yamanakako, a perfect mirror for the occasional appearance of Mount Fuji. At lunch, local specialties await you: Hoto noodles, a traditional rustic dish which is full of flavor.
But the best bit awaits in the afternoon: a sightseeing cruise from Hakonemachiko to Togendai and then straight up in the cable car to above the smoking valley of Owakudani. The landscape doesn't look like it belongs on earth: sulfurous fumes, black rocks and air that smells of the living earth.
In the evening, to recharge your batteries and enjoy a little pampering, dinner in a typical ryokan is just what you need, followed by a plunge into the boiling waters of an onsen, should you wish. Spoiler alert: you'll come out with baby-soft skin.
Day 3 – Osaka: street food, neon and urban folklore
Another day, another city. A quick breakfast and off we go on the Shinkansen - the famous bullet train known for its efficiency. You'll arrive in Osaka, the capital of food and irreverence. Having stocked up on coupons, we start with old-school street food: kushikatsu served in timeless little places where everything is fried, including the sense of humor. Then it's time to climb the Tsutenkaku Tower, where you'll meet Biriken, the symbolic, irresistible goddess of luck, and visit Osaka Castle, so elegant and powerful that it will leave you speechless.
But Osaka really comes into its own after sunset: the neighborhood of Dotonbori is a permanent carnival. Neon lights, robotic crabs, animated signs and the scent of okonomiyaki which pervades everything; the perfect opportunity to try it during your traditional dinner.
And to top it off, dessert is a stroll through an alternative Tokyo: more pop, more crazy, more authentic.
Day 4 – Hiroshima and Miyajima: goose pimples and poetry
A new shinkansen bullet train awaits you: it's time to head to Hiroshima, a city that has transformed tragedy into a message of peace. But before facing the most moving part of the journey, treat yourself to a moment of suspended beauty on the island of Miyajima: the island where deer roam free, home to the Itsukushima shrine, the most photographed in Japan. Here, the famous red torii emerge from the waters like a portal between the worlds. Stroll among friendly deer and stalls selling green tea sweets, in the midst of sacred silence and immaculate woods. If the weather is playing ball, take the cable car and enjoy a view that looks like something out of a Zen dream. A day that will leave you with that rare feeling: a combination of awe and respect.
Day 5 – Nagasaki: history, wounds and rebirth
The last day is the most intense. Nagasaki welcomes you with discreet sophistication and a memory that is still alive today. Visit the Peace Park, a place where every detail – statues, flowers, silence – speak to your heart. Then, step inside the Atomic Bomb Museum: a powerful, necessary place that must not be forgotten. But Nagasaki is also so much more: A multicultural port with European influences, colonial architecture and a subtle beauty that it best discovered slowly.
At the end of the day, you feel like you've traveled through more than just a country (by Shinkansen bullet train and not plane, of course, for a more immersive experience). Five locations that capture the soul of Japan in all its forms, and as you get back on the ship again, it will bid farewell to a new you.
Good to knowBring your passport: you'll need it to take part in this experience.
The experience can be booked and canceled up to 60 days prior to the start date of the land excursion.
In order to offer you an exclusive experience, the number of places is limited: book early.
