Hakone Sekisho
The Hakone-Sekisho was an important site in the history of transportation in the Edo period (1603-1868). The Sekisho was a checkpoint along Lake Ashi that enforced the strict travel regulations imposed by the Tokugawa Shogunate (1600-1868) on the people of Japan. The Hakone Checkpoint was one of the most important because of its proximity to the capital.
Hakone-en

Hakone Pleasure Cruise
Enjoy approx. 25–40-minute sightseeing cruise in Lake Ashi. The Hakone scenery seen from the lake is completely beautiful including the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji.
Hakone Ropeway
The Hakone - Owakudani Ropeway is an aerial lift located in Hakone, Kanagawa, near Lake Ashi. The ropeway has two sections: one from the Sounzan station to Owakudani station, the other from Owakudani station to Togendai station. The Owakudani station will take you to a little over 1000 meters above sea level during the ride from the bottom to top station. From top to bottom, the ropeway takes about 30 minutes to travel. Along the way, you can enjoy the view of Owakudani Valley, the famous active, sulfuric valley which heats many of the hot springs around the area. If you are lucky and visibility allows, you can also see Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi on the way down from the ride as well.
Oh-waku-dani
Ōwakudani (. "Great Boiling Valley") is a volcanic valley with active sulphur vents and hot springs in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It was created around 3,000 years ago, as a result of the explosion of the Hakone volcano
