As you glide across the lake, you'll be surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Hakone’s lush mountains, the iconic floating torii gate of Hakone Shrine, and—on clear days—the majestic Mount Fuji in the distance. Each ship in the fleet is uniquely themed, complete with decorative cannons, wooden decks, and lavish interiors, adding a playful yet immersive touch to the journey. The calm, family-friendly ride typically lasts 30–40 minutes, offering countless photo opportunities and a relaxing way to enjoy Hakone’s natural and cultural wonders.

Starting from Sounzan Station, the ropeway ascends over lush forests and dramatic landscapes, arriving at Owakudani, a volcanic valley famous for its steaming sulfur vents and the unique black eggs boiled in natural hot springs. As the gondola continues toward Togendai Station on the shores of Lake Ashi, travelers are treated to stunning aerial views of the lake and, on clear days, the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji in the distance. The Hakone Ropeway Owakudani Station ~ Ubako Station ~ Togendai Station will be under maintenance from February 3 to February 21, 2025, and this line will be temporarily closed during this period. During this period, we will take the cable car line from Sounzan Station to Owakudani Station

At Owakudani, travelers will witness the raw, volcanic beauty of one of Hakone’s most iconic destinations. Formed during the last eruption of Mount Hakone over 3,000 years ago, this active volcanic valley is famous for its steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and sulfurous fumes rising from the earth. Visitors can walk along designated trails to get close to the geothermal activity and experience the unique landscape up close. A highlight of the visit is tasting the legendary “black eggs” (Kuro-Tamago), boiled in the natural hot springs and said to extend one’s life by seven years. On clear days, Owakudani also offers stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji, making it a perfect spot for dramatic photography and unforgettable memories in Japan’s volcanic heartland.

As you stroll through the village, you'll encounter charming thatched-roof houses, wooden bridges, and water wheels, offering a glimpse into traditional rural Japan. Visitors can sample the fresh, pure spring water—renowned as one of Japan’s best—and explore local food stalls, souvenir shops, and the Hannoki Bayashi open-air museum.
