10:30 AM

Fugaku-Fuketsu

There are infinite caves in the area of Aokigahara-sea of trees that are located on the foot of Mt.Fuji. These caves were created as an air space which had remained inside lava. The pressure occurred by cooling of flowing lava which had created by eruption of Mt.Fuji had pushed out internal gas of lavas through the weak portion of outer surface of lavas. That created caves.

This cave called Fugatsu-Fuketsu consists of a main cave as 110 meters from South to North and sub-internal path as 110meters from East to West. The width of it is 4 ~ 7 meter and the height is 2 ~ 10 meter. Inside the cave, the stiff and fine lavas are accumulated with lots of layers including lava bed. On the bottom of the cave, water gather and those are frozen in winter. The frozen statue of the water has remained even in summer due to the constant temperature of 3 degrees through a year.

Adventure in Hakone!

Kashima was a good guide. He met us at our hotel and took us to Hakone for the day. Climate did not agree with us, it poured rain for the entire day, and still Kashima was willing to take us to all the original places we had agreed. We had to cut it short because some places were closed because of the rain but Kashima was ver accesible and accommodating to what we wanted to do. The only thing was the language barrier, it was challenging but we realized that it happened with other guides too. Thank you for the effort Kashima!

Kashima H.

Liliana san, Thank you very much for your great review for me. On the tour day, there was so heavy rain and wind that caused the closing of Pirate cruising on Lake Asi and Ropeway. Therefore, we decided to change the itinerary. Even under such kind of bad weather and the closing of major tour spots, I am very much thankful for your group patience and pleasant conversation each other. Thanks, Kashima

It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
