Questions travellers ask
- Can I see Mount Fuji from Hakone?
- On a clear day, yes — from the ropeway and across Lake Ashi. Fuji hides behind cloud more often than travellers expect, and winter mornings are the most reliable.
- Hakone as a day trip or an overnight?
- Both work. A day trip covers the loop; staying over is what gets you a ryokan dinner and an onsen without a train to catch.
