Hakone is a stop worth making a special stop for both hot springs and Fujisato. For two days and one night, experience the unique atmosphere of Hakone between Yumoto and Lake Ashi.
Upon arriving in Hakone, Hakone Yumoto immediately grabs attention. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed to this place, making people unconsciously step lighter.
Leaving half a day for Lake Ashi was the most cost-effective decision for this Hakone trip. Details unfold at your fingertips and before your eyes, making it more satisfying than any check-in.
The view of Mount Fuji is a gift from Hakone to slow walkers. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives away its softest part.
The evening hot springs are most full of everyday life. Find a nearby small restaurant and enjoy a slow drink under the night sky of Hakone, recounting the daytime scenery over the cups.
The goodness of Hakone is something you only slowly savor after you leave. When you suddenly think of Hakone Yumoto elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed over and over.
