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.

We loved our day with Yumi. She was so warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. She took us to the major attractions in Hakone efficiently and helped us avoid long lines. We took cable cars, a lovely boat ride and the bus.

Hiro was absolutely amazing! Even though it wasn’t the best day to see Mt. Fuji, Hiro took us around the Hakone loop and showed us everything! He was very knowledgeable about japanese history and even gave us our own japanese language lesson at the soba noodle place he took us to. I cannot recommend Hiro and this tour enough!!

In hindsight, we NEVER could have covered so much area with such rich experiences without booking a tour. Just navigating from Point A to Point B would have been a total frustration and we would have lost valuable time. Our favorites were walking along the Cedar Tree- lined old highway path, the open air sculpture museum, Ropeway cable car, and Hakone check-point. We were so fortunate that the weather and visibility cooperated and we got to see Mt Fuji! We did the pirate ship - and it was enjoyable to see the shoreline and shrines from the boat, but if I had to cut one thing out, it would be that experience. All the way our guide, Shuji, was informing and educating us in the history and meaning of our experiences. Shuji is very knowledgeable, accommodating and a great storyteller. Thanks to Shuji we had a most enjoyable stay in Hakone.
