Fuji, in Hakone City, and is a famous tourist spot in Hakone. Owakudani, a popular tourist destination in Japan, is the remains of a crater formed by a large eruption that occurred on the northern slope of Kamiyama about 4,000 years ago at the end of the Hakone volcanic activity. Most of the spring water in Owakudani is poisonous, so it is also called "Great Hell". It was not until Emperor Meiji visited in 1876 that the name was changed to Owakudani. You can try the Owakudani specialty "black eggs" at your own expense▼ Lake Yamanaka Shiratorihama - You can take photos of swans and Mt. Fuji in the same frame, which looks like the real thing. Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, has a lakeside area called "Shiratorihama" because many swans live there. In addition to bird watching, it is also a great place to take photos of swans with Mt. Fuji in the background. The swans here are very friendly, as they are often fed by tourists.▼ Oshino Hakkai Oshino Hakkai is a collective name for eight clear springs created by the meltwater from Mt. Fuji flowing through the strata and filtering. Oshino Hakkai is famous for its beautiful natural environment. The beautiful scenery of the sparkling water on the ponds blending with the beautiful Mt. Fuji attracts many photographers from far away to take photos. Oshino Hakkai is a nationally designated natural monument. This is a mixed tour, and participants come from all over the world.

Lake Ashi is a volcanic lake on Mount Hakone. It was formed about 3000 years ago and is the largest lake in Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a very famous tourist destination and a famous place where you can see Mount Fuji from afar. The red torii gate standing on Lake Ashi is the landmark of Hakone Shrine.

The sightseeing boats and pirate ships on Lake Ashi are definitely the most special choice. Cruise around Lake Ashi and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The highlight of Lake Ashi, a popular tourist spot in Hakone, is the Hakone sightseeing boat! You can board a pleasure boat from three lakeside ports: Hakone-machi Port, Motohakone Port, and Togendai Port. The three boats are Royal II Southern European Royal Sun, Victory, and Queen Ashi Lake. Departing from Motohakone Port, you can enjoy the spectacular views of the Otorii Gate, Mt. Fuji, and Lake Ashi at the same time. We highly recommend departing from Motohakone Port! On a clear day, the sparkling lake surface and the blue sky blend together to create a beautiful and magnificent view. The one-way trip from Motohakone Port to Togendai Port takes about 30 minutes. 1,200 yen one way (self-pay)

The most beautiful scenery on the Hakone Cable Car is near Owakudani and between Owakudani and Ubako. You can see the beautiful Mt. Fuji. The first half of the route from Ubako to Togendai is mainly a course to see the crater lake of Lake Ashi.
