Lake Ashi (Ashi-no-ko) Tours and Tickets

Q: Can I see Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi?

Yes, you can see Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi—when the lake is still, you can see a mirror image of Mt. Fuji on its surface. The lake is located in Hakone National Park, which is famed for its exceptional views of the mountain.

Q: Why does Lake Ashi not freeze?

Near Lake Ashi, there are volcanic hot springs that ensure that the lake never freezes over. The hot springs are also worth a stop if you’re visiting Hakone National Park.

Q: How long does it take to walk around Lake Ashi?

If you want to walk the full 12.2-mile (19.6-kilometer) route around Lake Ashi, it takes around five hours and is considered challenging in certain places. A more moderate option is to walk the lake’s west bank, which is 7.2 miles (11.6 kilometers) and typically takes around three hours.

Q: Can you fish in Lake Ashi?

Yes, you can fish in Lake Ashi. Edible fish you might catch include black bass, rainbow trout, brown trout, and wakasagi (Japanese pond smelt). It’s possible to fish in the lake or the Hayakawa River that flows from it to the Pacific Ocean.

Q: Why are there pirate ships on Lake Ashi?

The pirate ships on Lake Ashi were built for the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise. Cruises on the ships last for around 25–40 minutes, during which you can enjoy great Mt. Fuji views. It’s a little added fun to your sightseeing tour in Hakone.

Hike Japan Heritage Hakone Hachiri (Half Day)

You will hike 2-3 hours along the old Tokaido highway some on cobbled paths and some on forest trails between Hakone Yumoto and Lake Ashi. Some part of this path is off-the-beaten track and we normally have the forest for ourselves. This part of the Hachiri has the best preserved cobbled path and more primitive forests. You will hike past the wood crafting village of Hakone - Hatajuku and we skip the steepest part of the trail by bus and reach a teahouse that has a history of 400 years. After an energising amasake, we will continue our hike to Lake Ashi where if you are lucky, you can have a picture with Mt Fuji and the lake view. The Hakone checkpoint is our last stop where you will understand the significance of Hakone in the history of Japan. At the end of the tour, you can then catch a bus or a ferry (pirate ship) to your next destination at around 1pm.

Tomomi is an excellent local guide who maneuvers around the interests of the guests and any needs that may arise. She and our driver Toshi who is an experienced driver navigated many hidden venues to capture a view of Mt. Fuji, a local sake brewery and an excellent local winery. Many thanks to them for an excellent day despite the rain.

Pretty good

We had some minor issues due to the weather and did not get to go to the cable car. We instead did a boat ride, which was fun, but that had us doing two boat rides for the day. The guide was great and very informative about timing of events and breaks. The check in process was messy and hard to find. Overall it was a good tour and we got some good views if Mt Fuji.
