A mountainous resort area southwest of Tokyo centered on Lake Ashi and the volcanic landscape of the Owakudani geothermal zone. On clear days Mount Fuji is visible across the lake's surface from several viewpoints, including the lakefront at Moto-Hakone. The area is served by a loop of transport modes including a mountain railway, ropeway, and lake cruise, making it accessible as a day trip or overnight from Tokyo.
