A visitor to Japan can never afford to miss out on visiting the beautiful Hakone in the Kanto region of Japan. It is an ideal getaway destination. And Hakone hotels are always all prepared to offer you a wonderful treat in terms of accommodation and amenities. Drive a couple of hours from Tokyo and you reach the city of Hakone which is blessed with mountains and natural beauty. You will come across with abundance of natural hot springs. Winter season attracts the maximum number of tourists to this place. Hakone proves to be the best place when it comes to have a great respite from the sweltering greenhouses and scorching summer in Tokyo.
If you draw the outline of Hakones map, it will appear as a triangle with its tip to the right and base to the left. Its area has been recognized as the massive center of an extinct volcano. Its mountainous scene includes the mountain of Mt. Komagatake, Mt. Kamiyama (1,438m), and Mt. Futago. You will find spots on the slopes of all three mountains emitting sulfurous gases and steam. The town of Gora is along the top edge of the triangle. Lake Ashi, Togendai-ko is connected to Gora through Hakone Tozan Cable car and Hakone ropeway.
