Hakone is small town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The town is famous for the beautiful year round scenery, and plethora of things to see and enjoy. It is located in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Tokyo. Hakone is a popular day or weekend trip for those in Tokyo, as the beautiful mountain scenery is a pleasant change of pace.
Hakone is famous for its onsen, otherwise known as hot springs, where visitors can relax in traditional Japanese bathhouses while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich, geothermal waters. Many hotels and ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) in the area have their own onsen facilities available for guests during their stay. Hakone Onsen’s are often regarded as Japan’s finest, and are well worth the soak.
