• Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai is a stunning and culturally significant destination near Mt. Fuji, nestled between Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka.

This tranquil village invites visitors to immerse themselves in traditional rural Japan, featuring thatched-roof houses, quaint local shops, and picturesque walking paths around the ponds. The water’s purity and clarity allow visitors to observe fish swimming and the deep blue hue of the spring bottom.

The shrine was originally established over 1,200 years ago and has long been a place where travelers, samurai, and locals prayed for safe journeys, good fortune, and protection. Today, it remains an active place of worship and one of Hakone’s most popular sightseeing spots.

The most iconic feature of Hakone Shrine is the large red torii gate standing in Lake Ashi, known as the “Torii of Peace.” This gate creates one of the most famous photo views in Hakone, especially during sunrise, sunset, or misty weather conditions.

The cruise connects major sightseeing points such as Togendai, Hakone-machi, and Moto-Hakone, making it both a sightseeing activity and a convenient way to travel around Hakone.

The ships are designed like historical European-style pirate ships, which makes the experience fun and memorable, especially for families and photographers. Visitors can enjoy the scenery from indoor seating areas or outdoor decks for better photo opportunities.

Owakudani is most commonly reached by the Hakone Ropeway, offering breathtaking aerial views of the volcanic valley and surrounding mountains. On clear days, visitors can also enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Fuji from the ropeway and observation areas.

The valley is famous for its local specialty called Kuro-Tamago (Black Eggs). These eggs are boiled in natural hot spring water, which turns the shell black due to sulfur and minerals. According to local legend, eating one black egg is believed to add seven years to your life.
