About Hakone

One of the best experiences is visiting the Hakone Open-Air Museum, which features a unique collection of sculptures set against a picturesque backdrop. The museum showcases works from both Japanese and international artists, making it a great place to appreciate art in an outdoor setting.

Another highlight is the Hakone Shrine, nestled in a serene forest. This shrine is known for its iconic torii gate that stands by Lake Ashi, offering a tranquil atmosphere and beautiful views. The path leading to the shrine is lined with towering cedar trees, enhancing the peaceful experience.

For those interested in relaxation, exploring the onsen (hot springs) is essential. Hakone is famous for its various onsen resorts, where visitors can unwind in natural hot spring baths, often with stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

A ride on the Hakone Ropeway provides an opportunity to see the area from above, with panoramic views of Mount Fuji and the volcanic landscapes of Owakudani. This aerial experience adds a unique perspective to the scenic beauty of Hakone.
