Unobstructed Fuji views from the water
On clear days, you’ll get some of the best panoramic views of Mt. Fuji, perfectly framed above the lake’s calm surface. Unlike crowded viewpoints, the boat offers a wide, unobstructed line of sight which is ideal for that postcard-perfect photo.
A surreal, crater-formed lake
You’re cruising across an ancient volcano because Lake Ashi sits inside a volcanic crater.
Pirate ship-style boats for flair
A pirate-themed cruise ship, complete with sails, mast towers, and vintage wooden decks. It’s a fun and family-friendly detail that adds flair to the ride, especially popular with kids and photographers.
Connects key Hakone sights
Apart from sightseeing, you can use the cruise to move between major attractions like Hakone Shrine and Togendai Station (for the ropeway).
Great photo ops and weather-friendly
Worried about wind or rain? Don’t be. The ships have both open-air decks and covered indoor seating, so you can enjoy the ride and the views, no matter the weather. There are plenty of photo opportunities along the way.
