Hakone (箱根) is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, less than 100 kilometers from Tokyo. Famous for hot springs, natural beauty and the view of nearby Mt. Fuji, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for a break from Tokyo.
Just a one-hour trip west from Tokyo, the sacred Mt. Takao offers a unique blend of Japanese culture and beautiful nature. The area boasts a variety of hiking courses, historic temples and an exhilarating view from the summit. Because of this convenient location, visitors can enjoy its natural beauty and the many other attractions all in a day trip from Tokyo. In recognition of its magnificent beauty, the inaugural 2009 edition of the Michelin Green Guide to Japan, the famous French travel guidebook, awarded Mt. Takao and Mt. Fuji the maximum of three stars, the best possible rating for a sight.
