The Yanagawa river boat ride was really relaxing. You just drift along slowly the whole way, and it’s the perfect kind of do-nothing itinerary.
Sometimes the boatman even sings, which adds so much to the atmosphere.

Hakone Ropeway
From Sounzan to Togendai Station, a ropeway runs about 4km. You can ride in a gondola and look over the lush nature of Hakone mountains, Lake Ashinoko, Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay. Enjoy a skywalk for about 24 minutes.
This is pretty much a classic Hakone itinerary, and it’s hard to go wrong with it. It does feel a bit touristy overall, but the scenery is genuinely worth seeing.

Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.
If you have the energy, I definitely recommend staying until the evening. Otherwise, it feels a bit like you're missing out.
Overall, nighttime is the best part. The atmosphere, lighting, and overall experience all feel more complete. -

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
The show was seriously adorable. It was packed with Sanrio characters the whole time, so fans will have a great time.
The stage production was thoughtfully done too. The lighting and music were both on point, and it didn’t feel thrown together at all. -
