What Is a Private Hakone Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on the Open-Air Museum and Lake Ashi
The guests were visiting from Asia and wanted to return to the Hakone Open-Air Museum and the Venetian Glass Museum, which they had visited long ago, so we went there. The weather was fine and it was a pleasant stroll. At the Glass Forest, they seemed satisfied with the Italian salon concert. The double-flowered cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and they took photos. They were not interested in Owakudani. They were also pleased to ride the pirate ship again, as they had ridden it before. Since it was a weekday, the roads were not crowded and the buses ran smoothly. Although the weather was good, Mount Fuji was not visible, but there was no particular request about it.
