Create an itinerary including Lake Ashinoko
Filling an ancient volcanic crater, Lake Ashinoko lures visitors with a selection of historic sites, geothermal vents, and striking views of Mt. Fuji. Pay a visit to this 3,000-year old lake to explore densely forested hillsides dotted with villages and the occasional waterfront spa. Go for a hike on the trails of the surrounding national park or tread the path of the shoguns on the 400-year old road winding its way through thick vegetation. Alternatively, try to catch a view of snow-capped Mt. Fuji by going on a sightseeing boat tour. Before you head to Hakone-machi, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Hakone-machi sightseeing planner, to make sure you see all that Hakone-machi has to offer, including Lake Ashinoko.

  • Lovely atmosphere. Nice place to enjoy the nature. When no clouds around Mount Fuji cam be clearly viewed. Lot of free parkings. Lot of restaurants around.
  • Beautiful place to visit (as is Hakone in general). Especially worth visiting for the packed Ashinoko Summer Festival which goes from July 31st to August 5th. Various performances, fireworks, torii burning on the lake and more. Hopefully the festival will be held as normal this year.
