Hakone shrine was founded in the year 757.it is known as a famous "power spot".

Ashinoko lake is formed when debris avalanche deposits blocked the Hakone River after one of volcanos in Hakone erupted about 3000 years ago. If you want to enjoy scenery from the lake, it’s a good idea to take a cabin cruiser which is in service from four ports of the lake.

Owakudani was created some 3000 years ago during the last eruption of Mt. Hakone. White smoke and smell of Sulphur drift around the stone valley and you can feel the volcanic activity.

The art works are varied and interesting (by both japanese and western artists), the view is amazing and the curation is perfect. The combination of nature and art at it’s best! There is also a foot bath where you can soak your legs in hot water.
