There is a popular photo spot of Mount Fuji with Torii gate of Hakone shrine at the shore of lake Ashinoko.
Hakone is famous for hot springs and natural beauty.
It is only a few hours away from Tokyo.
Lake Ashinoko was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano’s last eruption 3000 years ago.
It is a scenic spot to take a boat ride and take in the lush mountain views.

There is a pathway along the shore.
Walk towards to Onshi-Hakone-Koen Park, then it leads you to this boat rental shop.

Zoom in makes your photo insta worthy.

While I took pictures, some sightseeing boats passed by.
They made my photo more beautiful!
Especially the pirate boat is a landmark of lake Ashinoko.
When they left the Moto-Hakone Port and go to the far side of the lake is perfect timing for taking a photo.
