With mountains, a lake, hot springs, and 400 hotels and inn, Hakone is the next destination for tourists from abroad after they have visited Tokyo. The most popular part of Hakone is around Lake Ashi, where the view of Mt Fuji in good weather is just like a picture postcard. People can enjoy hot springs because the area has been volcanically active for the past 400,000 years.
