Mount Hakone, Active volcano in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Mount Hakone reaches 1,438 meters in elevation and contains two overlapping calderas measuring approximately 10 by 11 kilometers with numerous steam vents.
The formation of Mount Hakone's calderas resulted from two substantial explosive eruptions occurring around 180,000 years ago and between 49,000-60,000 years ago.
The mountain serves as a central element in Japanese onsen traditions, with its geothermal waters supporting numerous hot spring facilities throughout the region.
Visitors can access Mount Hakone through the Hakone Ropeway system, which connects Sounzan station to Togendai station via Owakudani station.
The volcanic structure features Lake Ashi, formed by ancient landslides, situated between the southwestern caldera wall and multiple post-caldera lava domes.
