Itinerary
Founded in 757, it is said to be the Hakone Sansho Gongen in the past, and has collected many faiths as a sacred place for mountain faith. It is believed as a god of fortune, such as traffic safety, desire fulfillment, and good luck. The approach that the cedar lined trees, which are over 800 years old, continue is a very sacred atmosphere.
Ashinoko lake is formed when debris avalanche deposits blocked the Hakone River after one of volcanos in Hakone erupted about 3000 years ago. If you want to enjoy scenery from the lake, it’s a good idea to take a cabin cruiser which is in service from four ports of the lake.
Owakudani was created some 3000 years ago during the last eruption of Mt. Hakone. White smoke and smell of Sulphur drift around the stone valley and you can feel the volcanic activity.
The art works are varied and interesting (by both japanese and western artists), the view is amazing and the curation is perfect. The combination of nature and art at it’s best! There is also a foot bath where you can soak your legs in hot water.

Our guide, Akira, was fantastic. His English was very good and he had done his research and was very informative about everywhere that we visited. Hakone is very beautiful and you definitely need a full day to experience a fraction of what it has to offer.

We visited Hakone for one day. This tour was an excellent option to enjoy many attractions in the area. The guide was very good.
Harry-san was great company, and a pleasure to be around. We hit all the hot spots of Hakone within the tour. He showed us more than we could have seen ourselves for sure. I would absolutely recommend!
