The 5th Station of Mt. Fuji, located at an altitude of approximately 2,300 meters, is one of the highest points easily accessible to tourists. It serves as an important stopover for those climbing to the summit, offering close-up views of the mountain's majestic peaks and vast sea of clouds. On clear days, one can also overlook the Yamanashi Plain and the distant Lake Yamanaka, feeling as if they are floating among the clouds. The 5th Station features a shrine, souvenir shops, and observation decks, making it a popular spot for taking photos, offering prayers, and experiencing the sacred atmosphere of the mountain.
Looking up at the summit of Mount Fuji from its closest point offers a breathtaking and awe-inspiring view. On a clear, cloudless day, the surrounding scenery, including Lake Kawaguchi, is breathtakingly panoramic. When shrouded in mist, one can gaze upon a magnificent sea of clouds.
If you are unable to reach the 5th Station of Mount Fuji due to inclement weather, road accidents, road closures, or other reasons, you will proceed to the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center (40 minutes). The most captivating exhibit at the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center is undoubtedly the giant Mount Fuji model "Fugaku 360," made using traditional Yamanashi washi paper. Utilizing light and sound effects, it showcases the different appearances of Mount Fuji throughout the four seasons, its beautiful and magnificent form leaving visitors in awe. You can view the Mount Fuji model from all angles through the gallery, which also depicts the history of Mount Fuji and the spiritual journey of humanity's coexistence with it.
Hakone Ropeway - Sounzan Station - Owakudani Station (approx. 15 minutes) This route is an excellent spot to enjoy Hakone's geothermal wonders and Mount Fuji. The ropeway slowly ascends from Sounzan to Owakudani at an altitude of 1044 meters. Along the way, you can see white smoke and sulfur constantly rising from the bottom of the valley, a breathtaking sight. On a clear day, you can also see the beautiful view of Mount Fuji in the distance.
Owakudani is Hakone's most representative geothermal wonder area, formed by a volcanic eruption more than 3,000 years ago. The valley is shrouded in white smoke and the smell of sulfur, with steam and hot springs constantly rising from the ground, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of another planet. Visitors can walk along the trails to observe the fumaroles and changes in the rock strata up close, experiencing the primal power of nature.
On a clear day, the majestic Mount Fuji can be seen from Owakudani. The volcanic landscape, shrouded in white steam, contrasts beautifully with the distant snow-capped peaks, creating a breathtaking vista. With the rising steam from the earth in front and the serene and magnificent sacred mountain in the distance, the view showcases the power and beauty of Japanese nature.
When visiting Owakudani, you absolutely cannot miss the local specialty, "Black Eggs" (黑たまご)! These eggs, cooked in volcanic geothermal hot springs, have a unique black shell due to their high iron and sulfur content. Black on the outside and white on the inside, they have a rich aroma and are said to add seven years to your life if you eat one. It's a must-try auspicious delicacy for visitors. Enjoy the steaming hot black eggs while watching the white steam rising from the geothermal landscape, experiencing the unique energy of the volcano.
The Lake Ashi Pirate Ship tour is one of Hakone's most popular sightseeing activities. Enjoy a leisurely cruise on Lake Ashi aboard a luxurious sightseeing boat designed to resemble an ancient European warship. The lake's surface shimmers, surrounded by mountains, with the majestic reflection of Mount Fuji visible in the distance. Along the way, you'll also see the red torii gates symbolizing Hakone Shrine, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of nature. Whether it's cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn foliage, or snow in winter, Lake Ashi showcases its captivating charm in every season.
Lake Ashi is tranquil, surrounded by mountains, with the auspicious Hakone Shrine's torii gate floating on its surface, creating a breathtaking scene. A boat trip on the lake offers close-up views of the red torii gate's reflection in the water. The scenery changes with the seasons, but the interplay of light and shadow is particularly captivating at dawn and dusk. (If the cable car and boat tour are unavailable, this will be the alternative route.)
