Japan's Romantic Must-Visit
Lake Ashinoko and the Pirate Ship ๐ดโโ ๏ธ ๐๐ข Hakone is home to a dreamlike romantic spotโLake Ashinoko. ๐ฟThis volcanic lake, located at the foot of Mount Hakone in the western part of Hakone Town, is the largest lake in Kanagawa Prefecture, with a circumference of about 20 km. ๐ In July, Lake Ashinoko is sunny and pleasant, with azure waters as blue as a gemstone ๐. ๐๐ข The scenery here is just as stunning as that of New Zealand. When you visit, make sure to take a ride on the pirate ship. ๐ฟ I highly recommend getting the VIP ticket. It's a bit more expensive than the regular ticket, but it comes with a private deck for photos and offers an unparalleled view of the beautiful lake. ๐๐ข It's totally worth it! ๐ The lake is famous for its distant view of the Fuji Torii Gate, but the local climate is humid and rainy, so catching a glimpse of this beautiful scene is a matter of luck ๐. ๐ฟ Fortunately, taking a pirate cruise to enjoy the lakeside scenery and taste the delicious rainbow trout and black bass dishes is less affected by seasons and weather, which is also part of the charm of Lake Ashinoko. #Hakone ๐ฟ
