[2025 Hakone Attraction] Travel Guide for Hakone Gōra Park (Updated May)

We recommend a hidden gem in Japan - Hakone! Just 2 hours from Tokyo, you can enjoy a healing trip surrounded by nature. 🍃 Without further ado, check out this 2-day itinerary! 🛬【Itinerary】: Day 1: Depart from Tokyo, Gora Park → Hakone Shrine → Lake Ashi Cruise → Hakone Onsen Hotel Day 2: Hakone → Owakudani → Sengokuhara → Return ⛺【Must-see attractions】: 🎐Hakone Shrine: A super atmospheric ancient shrine with a red torii gate standing by Lake Ashi, creating a beautiful scene with the lake and mountains. Every photo you take here looks like a Japanese movie! 🎐Lake Ashi Cruise: A must-try! Sit on the boat, feel the breeze, and enjoy a close-up view of Mount Fuji. It's breathtaking! 🎐Owakudani: This is the real-life "volcano crater" 🌋 with a strong sulfur smell and steaming hot air, making you feel like you're in another world. Don't forget to try the black eggs, which are said to add 7 years to your life! 🏨【Accommodation】: When in Hakone, stay at an onsen hotel! The hot spring water here is excellent, rich in minerals, and soaking in it makes you feel like every pore in your body is cheering. When the warm spring water envelops your body, the fatigue of the day instantly disappears, and every cell enjoys this rare relaxation. The open-air onsen is a must-try, where you can soak in the hot spring while enjoying the natural beauty in front of you. The feeling of being one with nature is truly wonderful! 🚌【Transportation】: From Tokyo, you can take the Odakyu Romancecar directly to Hakone-Yumoto. However, Japanese transportation is complex, and when there are many people, it is recommended to rent a car for a better travel experience! 🧡【Tips】: Although the black eggs at Owakudani are delicious, don't eat too many, as they may upset your stomach. The weather in Hakone is unpredictable, so it's recommended to bring rain gear and a jacket. When soaking in the onsen, remember to follow local etiquette and wash yourself before entering the pool!

This is where the flowers arranged in the five tea ceremonies at Hakuundo Tea Garden are grown. The flowers known as chabana are meant to symbolize and recreate the beauty of nature within the small teahouse. A world unique to the tea ceremony, where a single modest flower evokes the beauty of nature that unfolds outside. A chabana garden where a single, elegant flower grows and is displayed in the teahouse every day. When I visited, the whole place was green, but if you look closely you can see a small white flower. It's a deep and profound world, I thought. #HakoneGora #famousflowerspots #summertrip
