Lake Ashi, also known as Ashinoko, is a scenic crater lake located in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture. Formed by a volcanic eruption over 3,000 years ago, it's famous for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains, the serene waters, and, on clear days, the iconic backdrop of Mt. Fuji. One of the most popular ways to experience the lake is by taking a sightseeing cruise on one of the iconic "pirate ships" that traverse the waters. The cruise offers fantastic photo opportunities of the beautiful landscape and the famous red torii gate of Hakone Shrine, which appears to float on the water's edge. Beyond the cruises, the area around Lake Ashi is rich with attractions, including the historic Hakone Shrine, the reconstructed Hakone Sekisho Checkpoint, and the Onshi Hakone Park, once a summer retreat for the imperial family. The lake is a key part of the Hakone sightseeing loop, connecting to the Hakone Ropeway, which provides even more breathtaking aerial views.
