The beginning... bamba started operating with a hop-on hop-off bus service. After trial and error, bamba realised that travellers were very interested in not only being around other backpackers and meeting them, but they also wanted to have the opportunity to travel in local transportation, and...

    We were 3 friends booked this as part of a longer trip and this was one of the best highlights of our trip. Two thumbs up!

    Great freedom and flexibility which is the perfect way to explore Hakone. The accommodation was very close to the sites, was comfortable, and the staff were really helpful and friendly. We basically got a pass from bamba that allowed us to explore all sites around Hakone. Between our friends, people we met while in Tokyo, the hotel reception and bamba recommendations we had plenty to do and visit. This is a self-guided trip, so if you want to be able to do what you want when you want then this is the product for you. We did not have the luxury of time to shop around and try to figure out what entrances to by and which sites to see. The pass included in this itinerary was exactly what we needed. I felt the trip was of great value, there are definitely better, much more expensive hotels, and like everywhere people trying to sell you experiences on the cheap.

    I wanted to stay longer. Should have picked a longer itinerary. Bamba communicated everything through their app, they also give me some great tips of things to visit and things to do. Made my own schedule so my boyfriend and I were able to avoid the groups!

    Always wanted to visit Mount Fuji when visiting Japan. Unfortunately, the weather was not great when we go there so we only got to see the mountain for a couple of hours. Very happy with the accommodation that was provided. The breakfast was decent, but to be honest, we have not had an amazing breakfast the whole time we were in Japan. That being said the food is amazing for lunch and dinner :-) We got an all-access pass to visit the sites which were super convenient. We were in and out of Hakone coming from Tokyo, so if you are pressed for time definitely recommend this.

    The team at Bamba Exerience was very helpful - they even took time on their day off to meet up with me to ensure I had my tickets. I was staying in an airbnb and they could not be delivered there so we had to meet up. The staff was very helpful but I wouldn't recommend the 'tour'. It was very expensive for what you are getting and it can be done much cheaper. They basically arrange a pass for you that gets you access to all transportation and sights in the area. You can buy this pass by yourself for just over 5,000 yen. The accommodations they normally arrange were not available so we paid an extra 215$ to upgrade to a hotel however this hotel was terrible. It was 2.5 or maybe 3 stars but we didn't even have a bathroom in our room. The breakfast was absolutely horrible - just 4 types of bread, coffee and apple juice. The pillows were very uncomfortable and staff were not helpful as we couldn't even be given our room an hour early - despite it being ready and him having the key at the front desk. TLDR: Hakone is an amazing place to visit but you don't need to book a tour - find better accommodations for cheaper and without anything being organized for you besides an all access pass you have to do just as much work anyhow.
