Relaxing Hakone

Combining a relaxed vibe and a freakin’ truckload of things to see and do, the Japanese city of Hakone is an absolute must-visit… even if it’s just for the epic hot springs! Our fave? Hakone Kamon. Warm, bubbly heaven. ... Read more »

If you can tear yourself away from the hot springs at Yumoto, make sure to explore the greenery of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park via a hike or, for another perspective, from the Hakone Tozan Cable Car. If your hunger for views is still raging, score a ride on the Hakone Tozan Railway to witness thousands of pretty hydrangea blooms and breathtaking scenery.

Feel like some art after all those views? Visit the POLA Museum of Art for some Cezanne, Monet and Renoir, and the Hakone Museum of Art for some classic Japanese works. No matter what you’re into, Hakone has relaxation covered.

Hakone Top 10

Head to Lake Ashi at the end of July for the Lantern Floating Festival, a beautiful Japanese tradition honouring the souls of the dead.

The Hakone Summer Festival (July/August) hosts includes the ‘Torii Burning’, when the locals build two massive gates along Lake Ashi, burn them and then watch their remains float away. Sounds bizarre but looks amazing.

Daimyo Gyoretsu is a must-see. This early November event features a huge chanting procession of hundreds dressed as armed samurai warriors and pretty princesses.

When To Go

This city has distinct seasons – very chilly winters and hot ’n’ humid summers. Winter averages at about 5°C (41°F) and summer can reach 29°C (84°F).

June is the wettest time of year, so be wary of getting caught in some serious storms around this time. The best months to avoid the rain? December and January.

If you want to enjoy plenty of pretty flora, head over in spring and summer. Blossoms galore!
