Lake Ashi, located 724 meters above sea level, is a volcanic lake on Mount Hakone. Hidden in the center of Hakone, it was formed by a volcanic eruption about 3,000 years ago and is also the largest lake in Kanagawa Prefecture. If the weather is clear, you can also enjoy the stunning scenery of Mount Fuji at Lake Ashi, which is why Lake Ashi is famous and a must-see attraction in Hakone.
Hakone Shrine is one of the most important tourist attractions around Lake Ashi. The iconic red torii gate can be seen by the lake during a boat tour, but the rest of the shrine is hidden in the forest. The main buildings of the shrine also have eye-catching red exteriors.
✅Detailed address: Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture
