Fuji Day” on February 23, the Fujikyu Group’s pleasure cruise ship “Hakone Yusen SORAKAZE” was launched as a new sightseeing spot on Lake Ashinoko. It was created as a new sightseeing spot on Lake Ashi, and is characterized not only by the seasonal scenery that can be enjoyed from the boat, but also by the unique design of the boat itself, which looks like a “green park floating on the lake. This time, I participated in a press tour to experience the Hakone pleasure boat SORAKAZE and took a tour around Hakone in early summer.
Depart from the port of “Hakone Sekisho,” a tourist facility that preserves the history of Edo period. The Hakone pleasure boat SORAKAZE departs from and arrives at “Hakone Sekisho Ato Port” on the shore of Lake Ashi. The route is Hakone Sekisho Ato Port – Moto Hakone Port – Hakoneen Port – Hakone Sekisho Ato Port. The three ports connect Lake Ashi from north to south (approximately 11.4 km), and the round trip takes approximately 40 minutes. Over the surface of the lake, surrounded by the mountains of Hakone, you can see “Hakone Shrine,” a power spot, the lakeside townscape, and if the weather is fine, a view of Mt. Round-trip fare is 1,800 yen for adults (junior high school students and older) and 900 yen for children (elementary school students). One-way tickets and one-day free tickets (2,700 yen for adults and 1,350 yen for children) are also available, and passengers can disembark and embark at any of the ports along the way to enjoy sightseeing and walking (Koziri Port is not open). Hakone Sekisho Ato Port is the closest to “Hakone Sekisho,” a tourist facility that recreates an Edo Period barrier, Moto Hakone Port is the closest to “Hakone Shrine,” where the torii gate on the lake is a popular photo spot, and Hakoneen Port is the closest to the foot station of the “Hakone Komagatake Ropeway,” making it the ideal location for Hakone tourism, where mountain road trips by local bus or rental car are the norm. Therefore, Hakone-en Port can be used as a “means of access to the waterway” for Hakone sightseeing, where mountain road travel by local buses or rental cars is the norm.
