Make the Most of Your Hakone Stay

A volcanic retreat between Tokyo and Mount Fuji

Hakone rises from the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture as Japan's premier hot spring destination, just 85 minutes from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station. The Hakone Round Course connects you through mountain railways, cable cars, and ropeways, transforming transportation into the experience itself. At Owakudani, sulfur vents release dramatic steam plumes from 3,000-year-old craters, while Lake Ashi reflects Mount Fuji's silhouette behind the floating red torii gate of Hakone Shrine, a spiritual sanctuary dating to 757 CE.

Traditional ryokan hospitality and cultural depth

Luxury ryokans define the Hakone experience, offering kaiseki dinners with seasonal ingredients alongside private onsen baths fed by natural hot springs. Cultural attractions include the Hakone Open-Air Museum, Japan's first outdoor sculpture garden displaying works by Moore and Rodin, and the Pola Museum of Art, where Impressionist masterpieces occupy a glass structure preserving the surrounding beech forest. Historic Miyanoshita retains its Meiji-era character through landmarks like the Fujiya Hotel, welcoming guests since 1878.

Strategic positioning for exploration

Business travelers appreciate the direct Romancecar service with reserved seating and Wi-Fi, while the Hakone Freepass simplifies movement between attractions. The reconstructed Hakone Checkpoint offers insight into Edo period travel controls. Nearby Gotemba Premium Outlets and Odawara Castle make worthwhile additions, though Hakone's therapeutic hot springs and mountain air provide compelling reasons to simply stay put.
