Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands

A quiet Soto Zen temple in Sengokuhara known for hundreds of expressive rakan stone statues placed through its wooded grounds.

A broad hillside covered in Japanese pampas grass, glowing silver and gold in autumn and renewed by controlled burning in early spring.

A Sengokuhara museum devoted to Venetian glass, with historic works, contemporary pieces and a garden of sparkling glass installations.

A forest museum with major Impressionist and Japanese art collections, contemporary exhibitions, architecture embedded in nature and an outdoor woodland trail.

A popular but steep Hakone hike from Kintoki Shrine to a 1,212-metre summit with a close Mount Fuji panorama on clear days.

An active volcanic valley with steam vents, sulphur-rich scenery, Mount Fuji viewpoints and the famous black eggs. Access can close because of gas, wind or volcanic conditions.

Aerial transport linking Sounzan, Owakudani, Ubako and Togendai with views over the volcanic valley, Lake Ashi and, in clear weather, Mount Fuji.

Winding mountain drive with panoramic Fuji and Ashi Lake views — a favorite scenic drive route.
