Lake Ashinoko
Lake Ashinoko (芦ノ湖, Ashinoko) was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano's last eruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone. The lake's shores are mostly undeveloped except for small towns in the east and north and a couple of lakeside resort hotels. The best views of the lake in combination with Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone (a few steps south from the sightseeing boat pier), from the Hakone Detached Palace Garden and from the sightseeing boats cruising the lake.
Hakone Shrine
Hakone-jinja Shrine is a tranquil place of worship with a history stretching back more than 12 centuries. Its buildings have been destroyed by fire and rebuilt several times, yet the shrine and surrounding forest retain an atmosphere of both peace and mystery.

Our tour guide, Hiro, did a tremendous job of showcasing the beauty and history of Hakone! We requested a relaxed, yet informative tour and he more than delivered. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested, but if you are lucky enough to get Hiro - congratulations! You will have an amazing time.

Before we even set foot in Japan, Hideaki (Hide) reached out promptly and helped plan a wonderful day touring Hakone. He also recommended adding either SUICA or Pasmo card/app in addition to our JR Pass which made our travels much smoother. Sadly, our tour of Hakone was interrupted by bad weather, so we didn’t get to see all of the sights on our itinerary. However, Hide calmly and efficiently adjusted our travel plans. We took the Ropeway back before it closed and caught the first bus down, so we were not stuck there (hour wait for those in line behind us). After discussing options, we switched gears and enjoyed a nice lunch and tea house. Can’t imagine the disaster this is experience would have been had we navigated this day on our own. Hide also made sure we were all set with our travel plans to Kyoto. The weather didn’t cooperate, but Hide helped make the most our day in Hakone- thank you!
