[Hakone, Lake Ashi]
Lake Ashi, a caldera lake of the Hakone volcano, is located 724m above sea level and is a resort area where you can enjoy some of Hakone's most spectacular views, such as the fresh greenery of spring, fireworks in summer, autumn leaves, and the inverted Mt. Fuji reflected on the lake's surface in winter. It is also recommended for exploring history and culture, such as Hakone Shrine, famous as a power spot, the Hakone Checkpoint, which is full of Edo atmosphere, and the Old Tokaido Cedar Avenue. Further up from Lake Ashi, near the highest point (874m) of National Route 1, is Ashinoyu, a famous hot spring village that has been around since the Edo period. It is a place where many literary figures gathered from the Edo period to the Meiji period, and you can enjoy the dignified air and time surrounded by nature.*
