- Lake Ashinoko - Lake Ashinoko (芦ノ湖, Ashinoko) was created in the caldera of Mount Hakone following the volcano’s last eruption 3,000 years ago. Today, the lake, with Mount Fuji in the background, serves as a symbol of Hakone. The lake’s shores remain largely undeveloped, except for small towns in the east and north and a few lakeside resort hotels. The most stunning views of the lake with Mount Fuji can be seen from Moto-Hakone and the Hakone Detached Palace Garden.
- Hakone Ropeway - The Hakone Ropeway (箱根ロ-プウエイ) is part of the Hakone Round Course, a popular route for visiting Hakone. It links Sounzan Station (the terminus of the Hakone Tozan Cablecar) with Togendai Station (on the shore of Lake Ashinoko) and makes stops at Owakudani and Ubako stations along the way. The ropeway is fully covered by the Hakone Free Pass. Gondolas depart every minute, accommodating around ten people each. The entire ropeway journey takes about 30 minutes. Passengers can enjoy views of the active, sulfuric hot spring sources of the Owakudani Valley between Sounzan and Owakudani, and of Lake Ashinoko and Mount Fuji between Owakudani and Togendai, weather permitting. A gondola transfer is required at Owakudani, but not at Ubako. Admission is 1,480 yen (one way), covered by the Hakone Free Pass.
- Owaku-dani Valley - This active volcano powers many of the area’s hot springs. It is famous for black boiled eggs, which are believed to grant long life!
- The Hakone Open-Air Museum - Established in 1969, this museum showcases some of the world’s most important modern sculptures and artworks. Visitors can enjoy the harmony between nature and art. There is an outdoor foot bath where guests can soak their feet in warm mineral waters scented with floating oranges and lemons, and massage their feet on raised river pebbles. Knitted Wonder Space 2 is designed for children to crawl in, swing on, and jump around, while Curved Space-Diamond offers a place for kids to climb and explore. Notable exhibits include: The Picasso Exhibition Hall Symphonic Sculpture by Gabriel Loire Sculptures by Henry Moore Miss Black Power by Niki de Saint Phalle Sculptures by Carl Milles Intersecting Space Construction by Ryoji Goto Sphere Within Sphere by Arnaldo Pomodoro Hercules, the Archer by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle La Pleureuse by Francois-Xavier and Claude Lalanne Floating Sculpture 3 by Marta Pan *Personnage by Joan Miró
