Mountain Biking in Hakone

Guided mountain bike tours of the Sengokuhara area start from the Hakone Visitor Center and run about 17 kilometers over three hours, covering forest trails, views over Lake Ashi, and on clear days, Hakone's peaks and Mt. Fuji in the distance. The return route passes Nukuyu, a cluster of warm-water ponds that stay between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius year-round due to a nearby hot spring. Equipment, helmets, and water are provided, and tours run both morning and afternoon for one to twelve participants. Riders must be at least 135 centimeters tall.
