Hakone Sightseeing Cruise
A sightseeing ship that operates on Lake Ashinoko, a scenic spot in Hakone. The three ships, Royale II, Victory, and Queen Ashinoko, are characterized by their colorful and luxurious decorations. Each of them has a capacity of about 500 passengers and takes 25 to 35 minutes each way between Togendai Port, Hakone-machi Port, and Moto-Hakone Port. On a sunny day, the open deck is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the pleasant breeze and the seasonal views of nature and mountains.
The Hakone Pirate Sightseeing Cruise is awesome! You get to cruise around Lake Ashinoko, which is surrounded by mountains. From some angles, you can even catch a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. The scenery is gorgeous!

At Takumishuku, there's a nice spot called Marutaniya Teahouse where you can try the local specialty, grated yam dishes. You can also visit the nationally designated scenic site, Togetsuho Chaya-dera. It's a really relaxing place.
