Start your trip by immersing yourself in Hakone's stunning natural beauty. Begin your day with a visit to Lake Ashi, a picturesque crater lake surrounded by lush greenery and the iconic Hakone Shrine. Take a leisurely boat ride across the lake and enjoy the breathtaking views of Mount Fuji on a clear day. Afterward, head to the Hakone Open-Air Museum, a unique outdoor art museum showcasing sculptures and installations amidst beautiful gardens and mountains. Spend the afternoon exploring the museum's various exhibits and relaxing in the hot springs located within the premises. In the evening, indulge in a traditional Japanese kaiseki dinner at a local ryokan (traditional inn) and unwind in a soothing hot spring bath.
