Board a pirate-themed ship and explore Lake Ashinoko with Mount Fuji as your backdrop
Hakone Sightseeing Cruise’s four pirate ships offer a trip around one of Japan’s prettiest crater lakes, Ashinoko. Your ship will call at the ports of Hakone-Machi, Moto-Hakone and Togendai, covering a large area of pristine Lake Ashinoko.
Keep an eye out for the red torii gate of Hakone-jinja Shrine, which appears to float on the water. You will see views of rolling hills around the lake and, of course, the majestic Mount Fuji (3,776 m).
All of the boats share a family-friendly pirate theme, but each one boasts distinctive facilities. Look out for photogenic trick art, treasure chests and larger-than-life pirate sculptures on board. Feel free to eat, drink and stock up on souvenirs at any of the three ports, all of which have shops, restaurants and cafes.
