【Hakone Ashinoko Lake】

The history of Hakone Lake Ashinoko sightseeing cruises can be traced back to 1920 when the Hakone Yusen Co., Ltd. was established. In 1961 (Showa 36), Japan's first catamaran cruise ship was put into operation on Lake Ashi. Currently, there are three catamarans, "Ashiko Maru", "Hakone Maru" and "Jukoku Maru" (each with a capacity of 700 people) and the tour boat "No. There". The catamaran is supported by two hulls, has excellent stability and is as spacious as two hulls. In particular, the observation deck has a 360-degree view of Hakone and Mount Fuji, making it a great spot for sightseeing. Lake Ashi is 7 kilometers long from north to south and has a circumference of 20 kilometers. In the south, near the checkpoint ruins port, there is the "Hakone Checkpoint" which is a reproduction of the checkpoint from the Edo period and the "Hakone Checkpoint Tabimonogatarikan" where you can eat and shop. In the neighboring port town of Moto-Hakone, there is the Hakone Shrine and the Hakone Ashinoko Narikawa Museum, which displays masterpieces of modern Japanese painting. Around Hakone-en Port in the middle of Lake Ashi is the leisure resort "Hakone-en", which has many attractions such as Hakone Prince Lake Ashi, Komagatake Ropeway, and Hakone-en Aquarium. There is Kojiri Port on the north side of Lake Ashi, and the surrounding area is the entrance to Owakudani and Sengokuhara. You can eat and shop at the "Kojiri Rest Stop".

It takes about 25 minutes from Moto-Hakone Port to Togendai Port, where you can cruise around Lake Ashi on the Hakone Pirate Ship. The Hakone Pirate Ship was modeled after an 18th century British sailing warship and currently has three ships in operation. The observation deck has a 360-degree view, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hakone from the lake, including the red torii, Mount Fuji, and Lake Ashi. While on the boat, you can see the mountains of Hakone in the distance, feel the breeze on the lake, and spend a relaxing and enjoyable time.

In the ramen cooking class, you can start by making ramen by hand! You can choose your favorite soup base, seasonings and ingredients to create your own unique taste! You can also experience the "cooking" process just like in a ramen shop, adjust the softness of the noodles, and enjoy the delicious freshly cooked ramen immediately! ※If you make a reservation 5 days before departure, we can provide a fully vegetarian option (please contact us separately).

The bright red torii and Mount Fuji complement each other, and in spring the cherry blossoms decorate the place, making it a stunning sight. If you walk further, you can reach the popular check-in spot - Arakura Sengen Park. Here you can enjoy the magnificent view of Chureito (five-story pagoda) and Mount Fuji. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from where you get off to the shrine entrance. If you want to reach Churei Pagoda, you need to walk for about 25 minutes (including climbing 398 steps, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes).

The view of Mount Fuji through the Torii is breathtaking. Since the Torii is located on high ground and one needs to look up at Mount Fuji, it is called the "Sky Torii". From the Kawaguchi Asama Shrine parking lot, walk along the slope for about 30 minutes to arrive. Kawaguchi Asama Shrine was built in 865 AD to suppress the massive eruption of Mount Fuji in 864 AD. The shrine is one of the components of the Mount Fuji World Cultural Heritage and is also listed as a national historic site.

Oshino Hakkai is a famous spring pond formed by underground streams from Mount Fuji. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, as if it can suck you in. It is designated as a national natural monument, one of the 100 selected famous waters, and a component asset of the World Heritage. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the poolside, enjoying the lake scenery and feeling the tranquil beauty of nature.
