🗻 Hakone: A Mountain with Three Scenic Views in Kanto, Japan 🗻

Hakone was the surprise of our Kanto trip, not only because of its famous hot springs but also because of the completely different scenery you can see from the mountaintop and the foothills! Plus, Hakone's tourism development is very comprehensive, and you can reach the main tourist areas by cable car. The main tourist spots from the base to the summit are 🚡 【Lake Ashi】 - 【Owakudani】 - 【Togendai】. 🚡 【Owakudani】 (Mid-mountain): This is where our booked hotel is located, with an open-air hot spring where you can see Mount Fuji. In the early morning when the sky is just beginning to lighten, the geothermal steam makes Mount Fuji appear and disappear. Enjoy the bath while waiting for the stunning view of Mount Fuji. ⛪️ Next to the hotel, there is a church with both exterior and interior that are very photogenic. 🏨 Hotel: Hotel Green Plaza Hakone (Hakone Green Plaza Hotel) 🚡 【Lake Ashi】 (At the foot of the mountain): There are two main attractions around Lake Ashi: one is the pirate ship, and the other is the water Torii gate. Pirate Ship : The platform is located inside the cable car station, (probably) the only means of transportation to various locations around Lake Ashi. It is recommended not to buy a round-trip ticket directly (not necessary), you can buy two one-way tickets, one for first class and the other for regular class on the return trip. Water Torii : Recommended! Extremely photogenic!! You can see the distant view of the Torii gate from the boat, and after getting off the boat, you can walk to the shrine and then go down to see it. Since there are many people taking photos, there is usually a queue, waiting in turn for a solo photo in front of the Torii gate (we waited about 30 minutes). 🚡 【Owakudani】 (At the summit): Owakudani is a place where you can get close to the crater of a volcano, and you can smell a strong sulfur odor on the cable car. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of Mount Fuji! If the weather is good on the day you set out, don't hesitate to choose to go up the mountain first! This way, you can see Mount Fuji clearly! P12 At the same time, because it is a sulfur-producing area, Owakudani has a unique scenery, and the desolate scene will have a more peculiar atmosphere. Here you can buy black hot spring eggs and volcanic ash ice cream ~ Owakudani can be walked to the crater for a visit, but unfortunately, we were not able to go due to geological warnings during our visit. #Travel #Japan #OffTheBeatenPath #JapaneseTravel #Hakone #JapanFreeTravel #MountFuji
