Leaving the hustle and bustle of Tokyo behind, even on the way to Hakone, I felt like I was returning to nature. Here, you can enjoy not only the mountains, lakes, and hot springs, but also an art museum with a view of Mt. Fuji!

A photo spot where you can capture Lake Ashi, a pirate ship, and Mt. Fuji all at once! ✔ Garden A quiet garden that's sure to look great on Instagram. It is located near the lake, so it is recommended to sit on a bench and look at Mt. Fuji. ❷ Lake Ashi Promenade If you take a leisurely stroll along the promenade along the lakeside, you can enjoy the different views of Mt. Fuji depending on the angle. This is also the course of the Hakone Ekiden, which is held every year, and is famous as a spectacular road where runners run through. ❸ Torii on the Lake (Hakone Shrine's Torii of Peace) A bright red torii gate standing on the shore of the lake.
