Hakone, part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, is among the most picturesque Japanese destinations you can visit. It is an hour and a half train ride away from Tokyo and is a popular getaway destination for those living in the capital city. Hakone’s hot springs, also known as onsens, are among its biggest highlights. You can head to Hakone Kowakien Yunessun to discover its benefits. Additionally, attractions such as Hakone Open-Air Museum, the Pola Museum of Art and the Okada Museum of Art present a rich collection of history and art. Another interesting experience would be hitching a boat ride from Lake Ashi to admire views of Mount Fuji as well as Hakone Shrine.
