Hakone: The Shogun’s Path
Retrace the steps of feudal Edo on the Ancient Tokaido Route. While the world crowds the public "Hakone Loop," our private expedition takes you deeper into the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Experience 400-year-old teahouses, volcanic steam vents, and the "Floating Torii" of Lake Ashi.

Ancient Stones & Cedar Shade
- The Surface: Walk the historic Ishidatami—the original stone-paved roads of the Edo period. It is a stable, non-strenuous surface designed for ancient travelers.
- The Environment: Trek through a towering 400-year-old cedar forest, offering natural shade and a cool, tranquil atmosphere.
- The Physicality: This is a "low-impact" journey. It focuses on gentle strolls and immersive sightseeing rather than athletic endurance.
- Seamless Transit: While the sights are experienced on foot, we utilize private transport to move between locations.

Bespoke over Mass-Tourism
- Escape the Loop: In 2026, the public Hakone transport will be at record capacity. We bypass the queues with private transportation and expert timing.
- Authentic Immersion: Visit a teahouse founded in the early 1600s and a 1,200-year-old shrine—experiences that remain untouched by the modern world.
- The Gateway View: Hakone offers the most iconic "Postcard Views" of Mt. Fuji. We know the secluded spots that aren't on the standard tourist map.
