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.

Highly recommended tour! Covered so many places - a packed day

This is one of the best experiences we have had in Japan! The tour guide was very sweet, knowledgeable and gave us ample time to explore. We covered so much including Mt. Fuji 5th station, Lake Ashi, Hakone. What surprises me is the cost of the tour. So many activities for little price. Highly recommend

Tomomi is an excellent...

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.

Great guide and driver

Can’t say enough about our guide and our driver, Yoshi and Toshi. Great tour of Fuji customized to what we wanted to see. Learned a lot of history from Yoshi. We did not get a view of Mount Fuji as it was covered in clouds but we still enjoyed the tour very much. The lunch stop was amazing. Thank you Yoshi and Toshi for lasting memories of Japan.

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.
