25 Most Beautiful Places in Japan

"This mountainous hot spring resort town is perched in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park just 1.5 hours from Tokyo. Packed with hot spring inns, Hakone sits on the banks of Lake Ashi, serviced by pleasure boats and home to the Hakone Shrine, complete with a splendid floating torii (gate). Here, retro railroads chug up the mountain, the Hakone Open-Air Museum combines sweeping views with contemporary art, and a cable car leads to Owakudani (Hell Valley), where locals boil eggs in natural sulfurous springs." - Travel + Leisure Editors
