The Hakone Pirate Ship tour is a fun and unique way to cruise around Lake Ashi in Hakone, Japan. With three different ships to choose from – Royal 2, Victory, and Queen Ashinoko – you can enjoy the scenic views while feeling like you're floating on the mirrorlike water. Whether you're looking for a relaxing boat ride or a memorable experience, hopping aboard one of these pirate ships one the must do touristy things!

TIPS:

We hired a car during our 2 days in Mt Fuji so we drove here and booked roundtrip tickets on the spot. But you can visit via organized tours or via public transport and get the cruise only ticket (both linked below). There is no way to book round trip tickets online at the moment.

We highly recommend experiencing the first class upgrade during high season where the general class can get quite crowded and dampen the experience a bit so take a call once you reach there incase you need the upgrade!

We've added a map to show the route of the cruise. We got off at Motohakone-ko for a quick visit to Hakone-Jinja Shrine & its Torii gate.
