Located less than one hundred kilometers from Tokyo, Hakone is a popular recreational area which is easily accessible from Tokyo by public transport. Hakone offers day trippers a large selection of attractions and activities including beautiful Lake Ashinoko, many natural hot-water springs, an open-air museum and no less than four art museums. You can go on a sight-seeing cruise to see the Hakone Shrine and boiling sulphur springs in the Owakudani Valley, take a wonderfully scenic ride on the Hakone Tozan Railway or ride the Komagatake Ropeway (an aerial cable car) to the summit of Mount Hakone. Your day trip to Hakone would be incomplete without visiting one of more than a dozen natural hot springs and bath houses for a rejuvenating soak.
