Highlights

Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone. The lake’s shores are mostly undeveloped except for small towns in the east and north and a couple of lakeside resort hotels.

The best views of the lake in combination with Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone (a few steps south from the sightseeing boat pier), from the Hakone Detached Palace Garden and from the sightseeing boats cruising the lake.

Additional Information

Join us for a tour of the breathtaking mountain resort town, Hakone. Tucked away among the mountains, Hakone is a treasure trove of natural and cultural beauty. Experience the power of nature at Owakudani, where volcanic gases continually rise, providing heat to the nearby hot springs. Taste the region’s renowned black boiled eggs, whose unique colour and mineral infusion comes from the spring. Embark on a ropeway journey down the mountain to Lake Ashinoko, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Mount Fuji. Take a boat ride across the lake to see the Torii gate at Kuzuryu shrine, dedicated to the region’s 9-headed dragon deity. Art enthusiasts should not miss a visit to the art museums in Hakone.

Once you book your tour, your guide will contact you to personalize your itinerary. Please choose 2 – 3 places for your visit. We look forward to being your guide soon!
