• Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) consists of eight pristine spring ponds situated in the village of Oshino, nestled between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako in the Fuji Five Lakes region. These ponds emerged on the site of an ancient lake that dried up centuries ago. They are nourished by snowmelt from Mount Fuji, which takes over 80 years to percolate through volcanic lava layers, resulting in exceptionally pure, clear spring water cherished by the local community.

• Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine - Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine, also known as Chureito Pagoda (忠霊塔, Chūreitō), is a five-story pagoda perched on a mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City with Mount Fuji as a backdrop. It is part of the larger Arakura Sengen Shrine complex and was constructed in 1963 as a peace memorial. The pagoda is located approximately 400 steps above the main shrine buildings, providing a renowned panoramic view.

• Lake Kawaguchiko - Lake Kawaguchiko is the most frequented of the Fuji Five Lakes and often serves as the primary entry point to the area. It ranks as the second largest lake by surface area and the second shallowest, with a depth of about 14.6 meters. Situated at an elevation of around 830 meters, the lake experiences cool summers and cold winters. It is particularly popular in spring for cherry blossoms and in autumn for vibrant fall foliage.

• Owaku-dani Valley - Owakudani is one of the most renowned viewpoints in Hakone, where visitors can witness intense volcanic activity up close. It is believed that this area was formed by a phreatic eruption and pyroclastic flow nearly 3000 years ago. The distinctive sulfuric odor permeating the area earned it the historical name Jigokudani (Hell Valley). A local specialty is the “black eggs,” known for their shells that turn black due to a chemical reaction with geothermal energy and volcanic gas. Visitors can reach this unique site via the ropeway and enjoy stunning views of Hakone and Mt. Fuji along the way.

• Hakone Ropeway - The Hakone Ropeway is an aerial cable car that soars over the picturesque mountains of Hakone, linking Sounzan to Togendai on Lake Ashi. During the ride, passengers can take in breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, the steaming volcanic vents of Owakudani Valley, and the lush natural scenery, making it one of Hakone’s most unforgettable experiences.

• Hakone Shrine - Hakone Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine nestled at the base of Mount Hakone, surrounded by ancient cedar trees along Lake Ashi. Established in the 8th century, it is renowned for its tranquil forested paths, spiritual ambiance, and the striking red torii gates that stand both within the grounds and at the lake’s edge, symbolizing peace and protection.

• Heiwa no Torii - Heiwa no Torii (Gate of Peace) is the iconic bright red torii gate of Hakone Shrine, standing on the shores of Lake Ashi. Partially submerged in water, it offers a stunning view with the lake and surrounding mountains, symbolizing peace and providing one of Hakone’s most picturesque photo opportunities.
