About Hakone Kanagawa

Hakone Kanagawa is an independent travel guide to Hakone, a hot-spring town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan: Hakone-Yumoto, Miyanoshita, Gora, Owakudani, Lake Ashi and Sengokuhara, and the Hakone Tozan line, ropeway and lake boats that link them. Nearby places such as Odawara, Gotemba and the Fuji Five Lakes appear as day trips from Hakone.

Every guide is researched from primary and local sources, such as the town, the tourism association, museums, shrines and temples, and transport operators. Prices, hours and timetables change, so each guide shows when it was last updated.

Hakone Kanagawa is an independent guide and affiliate partner. It is not an official tourism body and not a tour operator. Some guides link to booking partners for car rental, rail passes, stays, tours and eSIMs, and we may earn a commission when you book through them. The partner sells and runs the booking, so changes, cancellations and refunds go through them.

Guides are written by the Hakone Kanagawa Team.
