Hakone's Essential Treasures

Hakone's landscape is defined by volcanic activity and historical transit routes. The area features the 8th-century Hakone Shrine and the reconstructed Edo-period Hakone Checkpoint. Cultural sites range from the Hakone Open-Air Museum's sculpture gardens to the Pola Museum’s Impressionist collection. Natural landmarks include the active sulfur vents of Owakudani and Lake Ashi, which can be explored via sightseeing cruises or the Hakone Ropeway system. For relaxation, the region offers the Yunessun thermal spa and the Venetian-style Glass no Mori gardens.
