Classic Index: ★★★★★

Interesting Index: ★★★★

Must-Go Index: ★★★★★

400,000 years ago, the Hakone area was once a crater with splashing lava. Now it is surrounded by green peaks, gurgling streams, and the scenery is very beautiful. The sparkling Ashi Lake is a volcanic lake. When boating on the lake on a clear day, you can also see the snow-covered Mount Fuji all year round. The light blue lake reflects the scene of Mount Fuji. Because the shape of Mount Fuji resembles an upside-down white fan, it is called " The white fan hangs upside down in the sky over the East China Sea." Owakudani is a volcanic relic that has been exposed to endless morning smoke for two thousand years. Half of the mountain is filled with white smoke all day long, and it looks like white clouds rising from the distance. It is also one of the wonders of Hakone.

Because Hakone is located in a volcanic zone, geothermal hot springs are almost everywhere in the main places of Hakone. Hot springs of all sizes provide tourists with a good recuperation environment, so Hakone is also known as the "Seven Hot Springs of Hakone". Sitting in the constantly surging hot spring water, you can not only enjoy the fresh air of the mountains and feel the coolness of the snowflakes blowing down your shoulders, but also leisurely watch the mountains and forests far and near and the people walking on the street. It's a leisurely trip!

TIPS:

1. Do not bathe in hot springs immediately after a long trip. Take a proper rest before bathing in hot springs.

2. Before entering the hot spring, use a small wooden bucket to take a small amount of hot spring water and pour it on your body to allow your body to adapt to the water temperature before entering the bath to soak. This avoids sudden drops in blood pressure and dizziness caused by anemia.
