Hakone Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine nestled at the foot of Mount Hakone, surrounded by ancient cedar trees along Lake Ashi.

Hakone Ropeway is an aerial cable car that glides over the scenic mountains of Hakone, connecting Sounzan to Togendai on Lake Ashi. Along the ride, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of Mount Fuji, the steaming volcanic vents of Owakudani Valley, and the lush natural landscapes, making it one of Hakone’s most memorable experiences.

Owakudani is one of most famous viewpoints in Hakone, where you can observe the intense volcanic activity from up close. It is said that this place came to be thanks to a phreatic eruption and pyroclastic flow that occurred almost 3000 years ago. The peculiar sulfur smell that spreads throughout the area was the reason behind its second name from the past, Jigokudani (Hell Valley). One of the local specialties is the “black eggs”, whose main trait is in the shells that turn black due to a chemical reaction with geothermal energy and volcanic gas. Head to this unique site using the ropeway, and enjoy a nice view of Hakone and Mt. Fuji along the way.
