Hike Hakone Hachiri Tour. Day hikes from Tokyo. Guided small group day heritage hiking tour.
Daily departure subject availability.
Total walking about 12km (8 miles) . Enables you to enjoy walking the remaining parts of the original Hakone Hachiri, whilst skipping over the boring bits that are now covered by a sealed state highway full of cars.
Itinerary. Catch Tokaido Shinkansen Kodama #709 departing Tokyo 08:27, get off at Odawara Station (tour start point) where you will be met by your guide (0900). We catch the local train (Odakyu) to Hakone Yumoto, then public bus (Hakone Tozan) up to Amazake Chaya teahouse, one of the few remaining of hundreds of teahouses that adorned old Tokaido. After some heart-warming amasake (non-alcholic) we follow the stone-paved Tokaido on foot through the forest down to the shore of Lake Ashinoko in Moto-Hakone. Next we stroll the kilometre-long Cedar Avenue, lined both sides with towering 400 year-old Japanese cedar (sugi), to Hakone Checkpoint. This faithful recreation on the original foundations demonstrates life on Tokaido during Edo Period. Lunch at a restaurant by the lake. After lunch we rejoin the ancient Tokaido for another 6km forest hike to Yamanaka Castle Ruins, Mount Fuji photo opportunity weather permitting. We then public bus (Tokai Bus) to Mishima and stroll along the Genbegawa World Heritage Water Area to Mishima Station, end-point of the tour (1710). Mishima is also a setting in James Clavell’s epic novel Shogun.
For folks not needing to return to Tokyo immediately by Shinkansen from Mishima Station, we can recommend accommodation (not included in tour fee) in Mishima, from where you can continue to explore fascinating Shizuoka at your leisure. Hakone Hachiri Tour can also be done as a day-return tour from Atami
