Exploring Hakone from Yugawara
Hakone is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations, offering a diverse range of attractions across all seasons—from natural scenery and hot springs to art museums. Iconic spots such as Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine, and Owakudani draw visitors year-round, and the area's easy access from central Tokyo makes it a go-to destination for a quick getaway.
Yugawara serves as a convenient base for exploring Hakone. With its unhurried atmosphere, the town is ideal for a relaxed stay, and the Yugawara Parkway offers access to the Lake Ashi area in around 30 to 40 minutes by car. Staying in Yugawara makes it easy to combine a peaceful hot spring retreat with day trips into Hakone.
