Hotel recommendations in different areas of Japan. Many of the hotels I have mentioned are either hotels I have stayed in myself or have been staying in with other groups of travellers. All the hotels are in good locations from which it is easy to travel.

I offer a one-day excursion by car to Kamakura, the old capital of Japan which is located near the Pacific Ocean.Kamakura is one of the most popular day trips. On your way to Kamakura you will not only see the famous Great Buddha Temple or the Hasedera Temple complex with its magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean but you can also visit Kamakura’s old town with its many shops or go to Enoshima island.

I suggest a day trip by car to the mountain resort of Hakone, with stunning views of Mount Fuji. On request a visit to the onsen at the hot springs with a great view of Lake Ashinoko can be arranged. Hakone is one of Japan’s most famous hot springs resorts and is located next to Mount Fuji. During the tour you will admire Mount Fuji from the observatory at Ashinoko Skyline. Later you will follow a mountain trail to Owakudani a volcanic area famous for its sulphurous smell and white smoke.
