Hakone Shrine / Kuzuryu Shrine Singu

A striking red gate along the water designates the entrance to this ancient shrine, perched atop Mt. Komagatake, and reachable by cable car or foot.

Reviewed By razorbagel - Baltimore, United States

this serene lakeside shrine has everything - towering cedars, a beautiful torii gate on the shore of lake ashi, and a main shrine complex up a steep flight of stairs to make your pilgrimage worthwhile! there's usually a line to have a picture under the lakeside gate, but waiting is worthwhile and pleasant in the shade. don't be shy about exploring along the lakeshore after you get your photo. remember that this is a place of worship, so act accordingly while you're here.

Hakone Ropeway

Glide through the skies in the world’s second-longest cable car, whose 13-passenger gondolas offer breathtaking panoramic views.

Reviewed By F2239QNrosec - Melbourne, Australia

The ropeway (in my view more a cable car) provided an excellent morning of views and education, as well as the chance to eat black eggs (which taste like normal eggs), black curry bun (tasty!) and we also sampled a black icecream. However, the main activity was the ride over the thermal vents, and the viewpoint from the end of the ride. There was a geology museum, as well as a number of shops. The trip continued with another ride, this time to Lake Ashi, where there might have been a view of Mt Fuji, except for the customary cloud cover. There were a number of options for a lake trip, but we didn’t do this. The round trip was about $A50, so on the more expensive side for our large family, but worth it. Note: we walked to the base station from the Hakone village, which was a stiff climb of about an hour, and could have been done by bus or car. There was no real benefit to the walk, in that there were no views to speak of, but it was a good work out!

Owaku-dani Valley

Reviewed By geotech522

I was fortunate to be able to take the Hakone Ropeway up to the transfer station at Owaku-dani and get off to experience this volcanic valley which is a volcanic crater. created during the last eruption of Mount Hakone some 3,000 years ago. This is an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers can be experienced. Owaku-dani had a great view of Mount Fuji as it was clear on the day I visited; however, I understand that this may have been one of the better days as it was clear when I got there and began to cloud up a little later in the day. A short walking trail from the Ropeway Station leads to the volcanic zone where there are numerous of steam vents and bubbling pools. The smell of sulfur may be quite strong and there are alarms when the levels are high. The area may be closed if there is judged to be dangerous levels of gas or if volcanic activity is judged to be imminent. If open, worth a visit as this is an unusual place and a great geologic wonder. There is a geologic museum and places to eat there also. You can also purchase boiled eggs, cooked in the naturally hot water, whose shells are blackened by the sulfur; it is said to prolong one's life by seven years.
