We (family of three including two teenagers) went to the Hakone area to get a good glimpse of Mount Fuji. On arrival it was rainy and completely overcast but we were fortunate to wake up to beautiful bluebird skies and April sun the next morning. Not keen to take the cable car / ropeway or lake cruise with the masses we were looking for a hike option and finally found info on Mount Kintoki. We took the bus from Gora Station in direction of the outlets and got out at Sengokuhara (stop 246). Off the main road, there are lovely wooden signs all the way up. It took us about 55 minutes (breaks included) to hike up (see red route on the map) and we were rewarded by a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. We then hiked down to the Kintoki Shrine (see the green route on the map) in about 50 minutes. Please note, we are quite fit and were a bit faster than what the signs indicated, about 20min on the way up and perhaps 15min on the way down. There is another bus stop right at the shrine so you can hop on conveniently off the trail head / shrine parking lot. The buses run about every 30 min during day time. Great day - warmly recommended!
