HAKONE FUJI TOUR
BY CAR
Guided tour is easy! and lazy? at JTB and TCT. Or, would you like to do all and more on your own? Actually, if you were 3 persons and more, it is not only flexible but also cost affective. You may also be able to catch ice cube in ice cave during hot summer time. Why not cool yourself down at Fuketsu and Hyoketsu ? Even summer time has ice, actually this is the ice stock for Edo people for the Edo period. Here is the breakdown of self-guided-tour on Toyota rent-a-car.

Yellow Plate Car (mini car less than 660cc class) (max. 4 persons including driver, does not run fast on highway, very tiny small car) : JPY7,035 at Nippon Rent-A-Car
Toyota Noah (max. 8 persons including driver, 6 persons comfortable size, but 8 persons too tight?) : JPY19,950 at Toyota Rent-A-Car
Highway Express Fee (Kosoku Ryokin) from downtown Tokyo to Kawaguchiko (one of the five lakes) : JPY2,650 per car
5th station toll road : JPY2,000 per car
Ropeway on Komagatake : JPY1,050 per person
Ferry on Ashinoko (lake) : JPY970 per person
Highway Express Fee (Kosoku Ryokin) from Hakone/Odawara to Tokyo : JPY2,650 per car
Insurance for car accident : Various, and perhaps this is the most cost of whole tour.
Gas / Petrol for round trips : JPY5,000 estimate (depending on car-size and how you accelerate/control/shift the car)
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
No driving possible? No problem! How about all by reliable public transportation? This is a rough map, and it takes whole day, it may be too tight if you tried five-lakes area and Hakone area in one day, so one-day-one-area is recommended. For those who wish to visit north side of Mt.Fuji (five-lakes area), either highway bus or JR (plus Fujikyu private railway) is an option. For those who wish to visit south side of Mt.Fuji (Hakone area), either Odakyu pass or JR area pass (how about front view or high deck view on Super View Odoriko) is an option.

Would you be interested in relaxing in onsen hotspring? Here's several sites you might be enjoying at.

 Naraya Cafe
 Kaneyamaen
 Ubuya
 Konansou
 Maruei
 Royal Hotel
Fujikyu Highland <= young enough to scream all day long? EVANGELION museum?

Or, how about drive your own veihcle (rent-a-car, recommended 4WD this time) in Fuji Safari Park to see lions, tigers, bears, elephants and more with great view of Mt.Fuji behind? Their condition is much better than squeezed concrete of Ueno Zoo or Zoo Station in Berlin (human zoo? personally loving the area, though!).

And hereunder is some great live camera view at your own desktop, netbook and iphone. Find sunny day at http://weathernews.jp/map/index.html and try dreaming about your next journey (^_^)
