Hakone & Mt. Fuji

Japan’s Most Iconic Natural Landscape

Discover the Dynamic Heart of Japan

No image of Japan is more recognized worldwide than Mt. Fuji rising above cherry blossoms or mirrored in the waters of Lake Ashi. The Hakone region offers the perfect combination of natural wonder, outdoor adventure, and traditional Japanese relaxation. Ride the scenic Hakone Ropeway over volcanic valleys steaming with geothermal activity, cruise across Lake Ashi with Fuji framing the horizon, and end each day soaking in a private open-air onsen bath. Hakone is the ideal escape from Tokyo — just 90 minutes away, yet a world apart.
