The appeal of proposing in Hakone

Hakone is easily accessible from Tokyo and can even be visited as a day trip. It is also a place of beautiful nature, with Mount Fuji, a Japanese landmark, and the tranquil and atmospheric Lake Ashinoko, perfect for a romantic proposal.

Hakone is also a hot spring resort, so if you have the time, we recommend staying overnight and sightseeing. The relaxing atmosphere unique to hot spring resorts, the night view that is not as overbearing as in the city, and the quiet lakeside scenery will all enhance your special moments.

Recommended proposal spots in Hakone

Hakone is blessed with many sightseeing spots and has a lot to offer. Here are three carefully selected spots that are perfect for proposing.

Around Lake Ashinoko

Lake Ashinoko , said to have been formed by an eruption 3,100 years ago, is a popular tourist destination in Hakone , overlooking Mount Fuji to the west.

Hakone From here, you can take a photo of Mount Fuji and the "Peace Torii" of Hakone Shrine floating on Lake Ashinoko at the same time, so it's recommended to propose with a typically Japanese landscape as a backdrop. We recommend going in the morning or evening, as you have a higher chance of seeing Mount Fuji.

If you are unlucky and Mount Fuji is hidden by clouds, you can go to the Torii of Peace . The huge Torii gate standing in the lake is very impressive when seen up close. It is also recommended to propose in front of the Torii gate, which is a very Japanese style.

Lake Ashi

Lake Ashi, the symbol of Hakone, is a spectacular spot where you can see Mt. Fuji against the backdrop of the autumn foliage of the mountains. In addition to the beauty of the autumn leaves, Hakone also has hot springs, art museums, temples, and more to enjoy. It's also a good idea to stay overnight and tour Hakone.

Wakuya

Wakuya was formed about 3,000 years ago when a mountain collapsed due to an eruption. Even now, smoke rises from all over the place, making it a place where you can see dynamic volcanic activity up close. You can also see Mount Fuji from here on a clear day.

You can get to Wakuya by car, but taking the ropeway to look down at the valley floor is a spectacular sight. It also allows you to avoid traffic jams, so we recommend giving it a try.

If you're lucky, you may be able to see the spectacular view of Mount Fuji floating in a sea of ​​clouds. This can usually be seen from dawn to early morning in the spring or fall. If you are lucky enough to see the magnificent view of Mount Fuji, why not surprise your partner by proposing to them while they are entranced by the view?

Owakudani Valley

Owakudani is a crater formed by volcanic activity about 3,000 years ago, and is still an active volcano with white smoke rising from it. The desolate landscape and the smell of sulfur create a unique atmosphere. The specialty "black eggs" have shells that turn black when boiled in hot springs, and it is said that eating one will extend your life by seven years. If you take the Hakone Ropeway, you can enjoy the spectacular view of Owakudani and Mount Fuji from above. (Photo by AC)

Gora Park

Gora Park is the oldest French-style formal garden in Japan. You can see beautiful seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, azaleas, hydrangeas, and roses. You can also experience traditional Japanese culture such as pottery and tea ceremony, so it is also popular as a date spot for couples.

Gora Park is also a recommended place for proposals. A woman who receives a proposal in a place surrounded by flowers will feel like a princess.

However, as it is a popular tourist destination, if you want to propose in a calm and quiet environment, it is best to go early on a weekday.

There are many different activities you can experience in Hakone. Take a ropeway ride to see the spectacular views of Hakone, go on a cruise on Lake Ashinoko, or relax in a hot spring, one of Hakone's famous attractions. It would be a good idea to combine these activities with your proposal.

Combining a proposal with an activity that can only be experienced here will make your trip to Hakone even more memorable.
