A sightseeing boat trip on Lake Ashi, especially on a pirate ship, is definitely the most unique option – cruise the lake and enjoy the stunning scenery. The Hakone sightseeing boat is a major highlight of Lake Ashi, a popular attraction in Hakone! Departing from Moto-Hakone Port, you can simultaneously admire the magnificent torii gate, Mount Fuji, and Lake Ashi. Therefore, departing from Moto-Hakone Port is highly recommended! On clear days, the shimmering lake surface and blue sky create a beautiful and spectacular scene.

The most beautiful views of the Hakone Ropeway are between Owakudani and Ubako, where you can see the magnificent Mount Fuji. The first half, between Ubako and Togendai, mainly offers views of the crater lake of Lake Ashi.
Take the Hakone Ropeway from Togendai Station (ropeway route: Togendai Station - Owakudani route) for a panoramic view of Hakone. See the world from a different perspective – the ropeway is the perfect choice! As the ropeway slowly ascends, the entire beauty of Hakone unfolds before your eyes.
Owakudani, a popular tourist destination in Japan, is the crater remnant formed by a massive volcanic eruption on the northern slope of Mount Kami during the final stages of Hakone's volcanic activity approximately 4,000 years ago. Most of the spring water in Owakudani was poisonous, hence its nickname "Great Hell." It wasn't until Emperor Meiji visited the area in 1876 that it was renamed Owakudani.
Stepping into Owakudani, the air is filled with sulfurous steam, creating a unique and breathtaking landscape. Don't forget to try the onsen tamago (hot spring eggs) there—they're absolutely delicious!
Take a stroll or simply relax at Lake Shiratori Beach in the mountains; it will allow your mind to completely unwind.
