Hakone, Mountain resort town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Hakone spans across 92 square kilometers of mountainous terrain within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, featuring Lake Ashinoko and natural hot springs.
The Hakone Checkpoint controlled all travelers entering and leaving Edo during the Tokugawa period, maintaining strict security along the Tokaido highway.
The Hakone Open Air Museum displays international sculptures and artworks against mountain landscapes, while the Pola Museum presents Japanese and European art collections.
The Hakone Free Pass provides unlimited access to local transportation, including the mountain railway, ropeways, and buses throughout the region.
Lake Ashinoko, formed in a caldera, reflects Mount Fuji in its waters while red torii gates of Hakone Shrine rise from the shoreline.
