About Hakone

Hakone, a scenic town in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, offers an unforgettable experience amidst the breathtaking scenery of Japan's iconic Mount Fuji. The must-visit attraction is the iconic Hakone Ropeway, a cable car that takes you soaring above the stunning Ashi Lake, providing a panoramic view of the majestic mountain. Travelers also adore the town's traditional hot springs, or onsen, where they can unwind and rejuvenate in the midst of natural beauty.

The best time to visit Hakone is during the autumn season (September to November) when the foliage is at its peak, creating a picturesque backdrop for your travels. For first-time visitors, we recommend purchasing a Hakone Free Pass, which grants access to various modes of transportation, including the Hakone Ropeway, as well as several scenic spots and attractions, making it an affordable and convenient way to explore the town.
