“Great Day with Yoshi!”
We had a great day in Hakone and around Lake Ashi. We stayed in Hakone and Yoshi met us at the station. We bought the Hakone 2 day pass and went around Lake Ashi and up some cable cars to a few great areas. We had so much fun, Yoshi was a fantastic guide and took us to so many nice places and explained so much to us. He was friendly and his English was great. He knew the route well and made it seamless! We enjoyed every aspect! It was foggy on the day we went so we didn't see Mt Fuji, but we used our 2 day pass to do a similar route and managed to see it! Thank you so much Yoshi for planning out such a great day :) Overall this was a highlight of our trip- we loved Hakone and Yoshi!
