Hakone is one of the easiest and most rewarding escapes from Tokyo, combining a volcanic crater lake, steaming geothermal valleys, ancient shrines, and renowned hot springs in a single mountain region. To make planning simple, we have gathered all of our Hakone content into one master guide. Below you will find links to every travel guide and hotel recommendation we have published for the area.
How to Use This Guide
Whether you are planning a packed day trip or a relaxed overnight onsen stay, start with the individual guides to decide which sights matter most to you, then use the hotel guides to pick a convenient base. The hub post ties the sightseeing together, while the hotel guides break down where to stay by area.
Make the Most of Hakone
The classic Hakone loop links train, cable car, ropeway, bus, and a lake cruise into one scenic circuit, all covered by the Hakone Free Pass. Allowing at least one overnight stay lets you enjoy the hot springs properly and catch Mount Fuji in the clear morning light.
