Lake Ashi is a crater lake in Hakone. When I was on vacation here, I took a boat ride across Lake Ashi in the hopes of seeing Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, the skies were not clear, so I did not get to see Mount Fuji. Nonetheless, the lake water and the surrounding hills and trees looked beautiful. My husband and I felt very impressed by the fancy appearance of our boat and another one that passed us. We did not have the opportunity to purchase upgraded tickets, but they do have limited availability if you can purchase them early enough.

Ashinoko / Hakone -- As the centerpiece of Hakone, Lake Ashi fulfilled its role as the postcard-pretty setting for the hot springs onsens and related resort businesses that surround it. Walking to Hakone Shrine on the cobblestone lakeside trail provided a worthwhile reason to explore the lake from the woodsy shore (review: https://yelp.to/1D14aZEBn5). It's one of those caldera lakes formed by a volcano like so many lakes in Japan. If you ask me - and I think you just did - it's not nearly as pretty as Tazawako in Akita Prefecture (review: https://yelp.to/lysnNy9jaE), but if the sight of pirate ships and duck paddleboats excites you, then you'll have a good time here (review: https://yelp.to/c4mzb42gez).

Took a boat tour here to get to Hakone Ropeway. The lake and surrounding scenery are beautiful.
