What is Hakone?

src=

An hour and a half from Tokyo, this popular hot spring resort is easily accessible by car or train.
Since first opening as the "Seven Hakone," the number has now grown to "Twenty Hakone."
The quality of the water varies, and since ancient times many people have come to hot springs to recuperate from illness.
Aside from the hot springs, Hakone also has art galleries and museums, so another reason for its popularity is that there are other places to enjoy besides the hot springs.
Additionally, the area in front of Hakone Station is lined with souvenir shops and is always bustling with tourists choosing Hakone souvenirs.
