    Hakone Hakone - Japanese

    Hakone's winning combination of stunning natural scenery, superb hot spring ryokan accommodation, spectacular views of Mount Fuji, and close proximity to Tokyo have made it one of the country's favourite rural escapes. Indeed, if you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all without having to travel miles from the capital, you could hardly do better than this! Check out our honeymoon accommodation section for our favourite romantic retreats in this fabulous national park.

    Hakone Map

    “No matter how many postcards, pictures or paintings you see, nothing compares you for that first glimpse of the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji from Hakone.”

    Hakone is not only a stunning destination for nature lovers but also an idyllic retreat for couples seeking a romantic Japan honeymoon.

    Hakone has been a popular resting post since the Japanese warrior Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered a natural bath to be built here in 1590, enabling his battle-weary men to relax in the natural hot spring waters of this volcanic area.

    Onsen houses proliferate throughout the region, which is criss-crossed by a collection of ropeways, cable-cars and funicular railways linking the many small communities and a wide variety of museums, from the outdoor sculpture park with works by Henry Moore, Miro, Maillol and Rodin to a Ferrari exhibition hall.

    On clear days the ropeways provide spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and of course away in the distance the imperious Mount Fuji - one of the world's most famous mountains and perhaps the most recognisable symbol of Japan.
