Kappo Shirako is located a few minutes walk from Yugawara Station. It is also listed in the Michelin Guide, and is popular as a restaurant where you can enjoy the taste of carefully selected ingredients with seasonal flavors. The restaurant has a counter and four table seats. The counter was messily placed with ingredients, and it didn't seem to be used for seating. (It made me doubt whether it was really a Michelin-listed restaurant.) Since it is a popular restaurant, you need to make a reservation by phone in advance. We made a reservation one month in advance. All the dishes were delicious, and the drinks went down well with them, so we had a great time. The seafood dishes, such as sashimi and grilled fish, are especially recommended.

XIV Yugawara Rikyu is a members-only hotel that opened in 2017. In our spacious room, we started off by toasting with the complimentary sparkling wine in the fridge. The hotel's selling point is its four open-air hot spring baths that make use of four different springs. You can enjoy a variety of baths in the large public bath, but you can also enjoy a hot spring bath in your room, which was better than we expected, so we spent most of our time in our room. A nice touch was that the large public bath also had a sauna in the women's bath. For breakfast, we chose a Japanese restaurant. It was neither good nor bad, but we could tell they had put in a lot of effort. As it's still a newer hotel, it was clean overall, but we were also pleased that the restrooms on the restaurant floor were clean.

This time, we will introduce "Motohakone" in Kanagawa Prefecture. Motohakone, centered around Lake Ashi, is full of recommended spots to visit in the summer. First, we went to Hakone Shrine, surrounded by a cool forest. The cedar-lined approach to the shrine is cool and mysterious even in summer, and the floating torii gates on the shore of Lake Ashi reflect the blue sky and the lake surface, making for even more beautiful photos. Hakone Shrine opens the reception desk for the ofudasho and goshinin from 8:15 in the morning, and the reception desk for the treasure hall opens from 9:00, but the parking lot opens from 7:00, so if you want to stroll around when there are fewer people, we recommend going in the 7:00s. Next, we visited Hakone-en's "Hugging Zoo," where you can interact with cute animals and get a lot of healing. It's perfect for a summer vacation outing. There are a lot of dogs in particular, and they are very friendly, so dog lovers will love it. We also encountered an amphibious "Ninja Bus" on the lakeside! Its unique design will liven up your summer adventure mood. After your walk, enjoy a soft serve ice cream at Hakone Butter Sandwich SUN SAND along Lake Ashi. The cold dessert you eat while looking out at the lake is exceptional and so delicious it will make you forget the heat. Motohakone is a highly recommended summer destination where you can feel the coolness of nature, experience history and encounter animals, and enjoy gourmet food and activities. #Motohakone #LakeAshi #HakoneTrip #MotohakoneTrust #JapanTripTrust

#cityplaybook Nestled in the mountains of Kanagawa, Hakone is a popular getaway known for its hot springs, shrines, and beautiful lake views. Whether you’re into nature, history, or sports, this charming town has something for everyone! One highlight was visiting the iconic Hakone Shrine, with its torii gate standing gracefully on the lake. So peaceful and photogenic! As a big fan of the Hakone Ekiden (a famous university relay race in Japan), I had a blast at the Hakone Ekiden Museum. The museum features race uniforms, footage of past races, and even some nostalgic highlights. Right next to it is the official goal/start point of the race — a must-see for any fan! To wrap up the day, I stopped by Cafe Hakone Hyakuyaku for their specialty dessert, Ryujin no Tama — a refreshing, jelly-like treat made with local spring water and wasanbon sugar. So soft and delicious! Why I recommend Hakone for a day trip: ・A perfect balance of nature, history, and local flavor ・Great for both first-timers and repeat visitors — always something new to enjoy! 📍Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan #Hakone #HakoneShrine #HakoneEkiden #RyujinNoTama #CafeHakone #JapanTravel #HiddenJapan #CityPlaybook

Kuzuryu Shrine features a torii gate floating on the lakeside, creating a truly mystical atmosphere. The soothing sounds of the lake make it a highly recommended spot.

Hakone Shrine is the most famous and popular of the three. Here, you’ll find the Anzan Cedar quietly standing, adding to the serene ambiance.

In April, a trip to Hakone offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and unique experiences. Cherry blossoms (sakura) are in full bloom, painting the landscape in soft pink hues. The journey includes a scenic ride on the famous Hakone Pirate Ship across Lake Ashi, with views of Mount Fuji on clear days. The Hakone Ropeway offers a breathtaking ride over the volcanic Owakudani Valley, where visitors can sample the iconic black eggs cooked in the sulfuric hot springs. Stops at Gora Park provide a tranquil escape with beautifully landscaped gardens and greenhouses. The combination of springtime sakura, mountain views, and fun attractions makes Hakone a memorable spring destination.

#aprilblooms Just a short hop from Lake Ashi, the Hakone Museum of Art offers a sanctuary of timeless elegance. While the museum’s collection of classical Japanese ceramics is impressive, it’s the adjoining moss garden that truly captivates. The garden’s design encourages mindful wandering: pause by the sculpted pines, peer through bamboo fences framing a red lacquered tea house, and let the gentle drip of dew-laden leaves ground you in the moment. It’s a lesson in how simplicity and patience can yield profound beauty. For a perfect pairing, enjoy a matcha served in the tea house overlooking the garden—an experience that connects art, nature, and tradition. #hiddengems #japaneseflowers #localguides #hakone #japanesegarden

The culmination of the cruise on the lake was to see this shrine. Perfect weather.

#Spring0yenTrip 📍Location: Owakudani, Hakone 💰Price per person: Approximately 1000 yen by bus from Odakyu Electric Railway Hakone Station ----------------- This is the well-known Owakudani in Hakone. Volcanic activity is active here, and you can see steam rising from the observation deck. There are also exploration tours of Owakudani held nearby, which can be booked, so we highly recommend joining them. Another local specialty is the black egg, which is like a boiled egg, but is created under volcanic activity and has a black shell.

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Famous for its many outdoor exhibits, the artworks are placed all over the large grounds. You can enjoy viewing the artworks while immersing yourself in the art and experiencing the worldview. Among them, the 18-meter-tall tower is recommended. Stained glass is embedded all over the museum, and the way it sparkles fantastically in the natural light is a stunning beauty. The inside of the tower is a spiral staircase, and when you reach the top, you can see the entire museum and the mountain scenery of Hakone. It is a must-see as it is lined with famous works such as Miss Black Power and the Picasso Collection! !

📍 A pirate ship that travels from Togendai Port to Hakone-machi Port and Motohakone Port in about 25 to 40 minutes. The view of Hakone from the lake is truly beautiful. The ship is a space that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, with 3D art and pirate objects. There are three Hakone pirate ships in operation: "Queen Ashinoko", "Royal II" and "Victory". Each ship has its own unique interior and design. Each ship has a special room, which can be entered by paying a separate fee from the boarding fee. This time we boarded the Royal II. The design of this ship is modeled after the first-class battleship "Royal Louis", which served as the flagship of the French fleet in the 18th century. The distinctive corridor at the rear of the ship recreates the atmosphere of the past, and the luxurious white interior of the special room is dotted with many decorations that give a sense of French culture. #0yentravelFebruary2025

I enjoyed an excellent yuba bowl at Yubadon Naokichi in Yumoto, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture. In this place surrounded by the nature of Hakone, you can spend a relaxing time to relax both body and mind. The softness of the yuba and the flavor of the broth are a perfect match, making it a dish you'll want to eat again and again. If you visit Hakone, be sure to stop by. #HakoneTrip #JapaneseGourmet #YubaBowl

#Roadtrip I went to the checkpoint in Hakone ☺️ During the Edo period, the shogunate set up 53 checkpoints across Japan to protect Edo. The Hakone checkpoint was one of them. A checkpoint is a place where the luggage of travelers and people traveling along the roads is inspected. The local guide will carefully explain what it was like at the time❗️ There is also a museum, so it's a recommended place for history lovers😌 I think you can take your time to look around the checkpoint in about an hour. —————————————————————————— 📍Location: 2 minutes walk from Hakone Sekishoato bus stop 🕰️Opening hours: 9am-5pm 💰Price per person: Adults ¥500 Children ¥250 #Couple trip #Couple trip #Trip #Solo trip #mayu✈️Trip🇯🇵 #Domestic trip #Domestic trip #Trip #Summer trip #Hakone #Hakone sightseeing #Hakone trip #100 travel styles #Free travel

I had a great experience on the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise. The views of Lake Ashi and Mount Fuji were breathtaking, and the cruise itself was very relaxing. The ship was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were polite and helpful. I enjoyed the option to sit inside or outside, depending on the weather. The only downside was that the commentary on board was limited, so it would have been nice to have more information about the sights we were passing. Overall, it’s a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Hakone, especially on a clear day. Would definitely recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Hakone!

Upon arriving in Kamakura, you can first head to Shichirigahama to feel the sea breeze on your face and enjoy the beautiful ocean view. Take a stroll on the beach, soak up the sun, or rent a bicycle and ride along the coastline, feeling the breeze. Afterwards, you can visit Enoshima and explore Enoshima Shrine, experiencing the tranquility and serenity of the island. Finally, savor fresh seafood at a seaside restaurant, enjoying the charm of Kamakura. The entire trip takes about 2-3 hours to fully experience the allure of Kamakura's seaside.
