The lake features unique sightseeing boats that resemble pirate ships, offering scenic tours across the water. The iconic Hakone Shrine, known for its striking red Torii gate, stands majestically at the lake’s edge. Surrounded by lush greenery, it is an ideal spot to enjoy the vibrant colors of cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage. Additionally, there are numerous hot spring resorts and traditional Japanese inns (ryokan) where guests can relax and soak in the natural beauty.
  • Owaku-dani Valley - At Owaku-dani Valley in Hakone-machi, Japan, visitors can witness active sulfur vents and hot springs, creating a dramatic and otherworldly landscape.

The area offers well-maintained walking trails, allowing exploration of the volcanic terrain safely while learning about the region’s volcanic activity and history.
  • Heiwa no Torii - Heiwa No Torii, also known as the Peace Gate, is an iconic symbol located on the shores of Lake Ashi in Hakone. This majestic red torii gate is part of the Hakone Shrine complex and stands directly in the water, creating a striking contrast against the serene backdrop of the lake and the surrounding mountains. It serves as a spiritual entrance, marking the boundary between the secular world and the sacred space of the shrine. Accessible by boat or a scenic walk along the lake, Heiwa No Torii is a popular spot for visitors seeking tranquility and wishing to pay respects or make prayers for peace. The gate’s reflection on the water, especially during sunrise or sunset, offers a picturesque scene that embodies the harmony and spiritual significance of the area.
  • Hakone Shrine - Hakone, nestled in the mountainous region of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. This picturesque town is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, offering stunning views of Mount Fuji, especially from the serene Lake Ashi. Famous for its hot springs, or onsens, Hakone invites relaxation with its numerous traditional bathhouses set in idyllic locations. The area’s history is showcased at the Hakone Shrine, a spiritual site hidden in the forest and marked by its iconic red torii gate on the lake. Hakone captures the essence of natural beauty and cultural depth.

Best tour ever with friends - We had an amazing experience on the Fuji & Hakone private day tour with Yujin Tours. Yujin tour, our guide Simon was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we had a personalized and enriching experience. The views of Mount Fuji were breathtaking, and the boat cruise on Lake Ashi was serene and picturesque. The Hakone Ropeway and Owakudani Valley provided unique and memorable sights, including the famous black eggs. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region.
