Hakone is a short high speed train ride from Tokyo so I got the impression it was a popular weekend destination to the 'hills' for many. There are lots of guest houses in the area popular for its geothermal activity and the views of Mt Fuji. Unfortunately it was raining and misty for most of our stay so we couldn't get 'that picture' of the snow capped mountain. When in Hakone you travel using a 3 day Free Pass – train, cable car, ropeway and a cruise on Lake Ashi. A bit touristy and the geothermal area isn't anywhere near as spectacular as NZ but still a nice detour on our trip.
