Book a transfer from Tokyo to Hakone — escaping the neon-lit megacity for the serene mountain resort town in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, famous for its natural hot springs (onsen), volcanic landscapes, and the most famous view of Mount Fuji reflected in Lake Ashi.
The 90 km journey takes 1.5 to 2 hours heading southwest via the Tomei Expressway, leaving Tokyo's urban sprawl behind as the mountains of the Hakone volcanic caldera rise ahead, with the possibility of Mount Fuji appearing on clear days.
Hakone is Tokyo's favorite escape — a volcanic hot spring resort town nestled in a caldera in the mountains southwest of the capital, offering the quintessential Japanese experience of soaking in natural onsen with views of Mount Fuji. The Hakone Open-Air Museum displays sculptures against a mountain backdrop, the Owakudani volcanic valley with its sulfurous vents and black eggs (said to add seven years to your life), Lake Ashi pirate ship cruises with Fuji reflections, and the Hakone Shrine with its lakeside torii gate create a diverse experience. The Hakone Ropeway cable car offers spectacular aerial views of the volcanic landscape. Traditional ryokan (Japanese inns) with private onsen baths, kaiseki multi-course dinners, and the art museums (Pola Museum of Art, Lalique Museum) make Hakone the perfect blend of nature, culture, and relaxation just 90 minutes from the world's largest city.
