Hakone Walking Tour

Hakone, Japan

Why Walk Hakone

Hakone is a volcanic area in the mountains southwest of Tokyo, famous for its hot springs (onsen), scenic Lake Ashi, and views of Mount Fuji. The Hakone Loop — a circuit using trains, cable cars, a ropeway, and a pirate ship — connects the area's attractions. The Tokaido Road, the old highway between Tokyo and Kyoto, passed through Hakone, and sections of the original cedar-lined road still survive.
