Hakone

Hakone combines long-established onsen culture with rugged volcanic terrain, reflecting its position within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The resort area extends around Lake Ashi, a caldera lake whose shores can provide sightlines toward Mount Fuji in clear weather. The old Tōkaidō route passed through Hakone, and its checkpoint was an important Edo-period control point on the road between Edo and Kyoto. The reconstructed Hakone Checkpoint and the Hakone Open-Air Museum add historical and artistic focus, while Owakudani recalls the area’s active volcanic character.
