Location Overview

Hakone - An International Tourist Resort The city of Hakone lies nestled in the midst of spectacular Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. More than 20 million tourists from overseas as well as from all over Japan visit Hakone every year, seeking the resplendent enjoyments this famous resort area offers throughout the year.

In order to both encourage and accommodate the growing number of visitors to Hakone, we make every effort to provide them continually with the latest information on the area's natural wonders and exhaustively strive to improve its accommodation, local transportation and recreational facilities.

Extensive planning has been carefully formulated and put into practice to ensure that improvement of recreational facilities is sustained. Considerable attention has been paid to the preservation of the area's scenic beauty and of its unique cultural heritage. We are unflagging in the energy we give to these tasks since it is our strong belief that tourism is a principal contributing factor to promoting friendship among the world's peoples.
