About this activity

The Serene Escape: A Nature-Filled Perfect Day Trip from Tokyo

Escape the city buzz on this tranquil walking tour in Hakone — the perfect day trip from Tokyo for those seeking peace. Stroll along shaded riverside trails, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of flowing water.

After meeting up at Hakone Yumoto, we take a short bus ride to the trailhead, then we descend into a hidden valley with stunning photography spots, where your guide will offer refreshing drinks during a relaxing rest stop. This is the ideal place for Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). Breathe the fresh air, listen to the river, and watch sunlight filter through the leaves. No sightseeing rush—just pure relaxation.

The scenic 3km loop takes 1.5 hours at a relaxed pace. Cap off your escape with afternoon tea at a confectionary perfecting Japanese sweets for over a century. Chat with the owner and taste his handmade snacks—a sweet ending to a perfectly balanced day.
