Excursions in Hakone

Hey there, adventure seekers! Are you ready to embark on a journey through one of Japan's most breathtaking destinations? Look no further than Hakone, a picturesque town nestled in the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showing you the very best this region has to offer. So, grab your camera and let's dive into the wonders that await you on our guided tours!

Lake Ashi: Where Nature Meets Tranquility

Picture this: you're standing on the shore of a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by lush forests and majestic mountains. That's Lake Ashi for you! On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the iconic Mount Fuji reflected in its mirror-like surface. Trust me, it's a sight that'll leave you speechless. Our tours include a leisurely cruise on a replica pirate ship (yes, you read that right!) across the lake. It's the perfect opportunity to snap some Instagram-worthy photos and feel like you've stepped into a postcard.

Hakone Open-Air Museum: Art in Nature's Embrace

Now, I know what you're thinking - "A museum? Really?" But hear me out. This isn't your average stuffy gallery. The Hakone Open-Air Museum is a sprawling outdoor wonderland where art and nature collide in the most spectacular way. Imagine wandering through gardens dotted with sculptures by world-renowned artists like Picasso and Henry Moore. And don't even get me started on the hot spring foot bath - it's the perfect way to relax after exploring the grounds. Trust me, even if you're not an art buff, you'll find yourself mesmerized by this unique experience.

Owakudani: The Valley of Great Boiling

Feeling adventurous? Then you'll love our trip to Owakudani, also known as the "Valley of Great Boiling." This active volcanic valley is like something out of a sci-fi movie, with its steaming vents and bubbling pools. The star attraction? Black eggs cooked in the sulfuric hot springs. Legend has it that eating one adds seven years to your life. Whether you believe in the myth or not, they're definitely a unique snack to try!

Hakone Shrine: A Spiritual Haven

No visit to Hakone is complete without stopping by the iconic Hakone Shrine. Nestled in a forest of towering cedar trees, this Shinto shrine offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The highlight? The famous red torii gate standing proudly in Lake Ashi. It's a powerful symbol of the boundary between the mundane and the sacred world. As you walk through the peaceful grounds, you might just feel a sense of calm wash over you.

Hakone Ropeway: A Bird's Eye View

Last but certainly not least, we'll take you on a ride you'll never forget - the Hakone Ropeway. As you soar above the treetops, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, Lake Ashi, and on a clear day, the majestic Mount Fuji. It's the perfect way to cap off your Hakone adventure and really appreciate the natural beauty of the region.
