苏河家园:“Lake Ashi is located in Hakone, a famous hot spring resort in Japan. The greenery of the cedar forest trail is super beautiful. Walking on the trail, you feel like you are in the forest. The water of Lake Ashi is clear, the lakeshore is beautiful, and the cruise ships are circling the lake. The Torii in the lake is one of the iconic buildings in Hakone, which makes people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.”
自遊乐行:“Very nice art gallery, walking into the Sculpted Forest Art Museum seems to stand in the forest of works and nature. The facilities include restaurants, cafes, children's playgrounds and hot spring foot baths, providing visitors with a full range of leisure experiences.”
dede13:“I visited for the first time in decades. In conclusion, I'm glad the kids enjoyed it. Personally, I like the open-air bath at the end, where you can enjoy the sun and feel calm because not many people come that far.”
Open tomorrow at 10:00-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
zinnia_615:“The garden landscape of the Glass Forest Art Museum is really amazing! Entering the art museum, you can see the amazing Fontana fountain, the sparkling trees, springs, and waterfalls are all made of glass balls, shining in the sun. The crystal porch made of crystal bead curtains makes people linger, and the strange glass installation stands quietly in the center of the lake, attracting the attention of every traveler. The medieval European-style architecture adds a fairy-tale romantic color to the entire garden. There are all kinds of lifelike flowers and plants made of glass in the garden, which is very novel! Okay, I can't write a small essay anymore, let's take a look at the pictures?
The indoor exhibition is glass products from Venice from the 15th to the 19th century and glass products by contemporary artists in Venice. In fact, I am not very interested in them, although they are very exquisite.
But the beautiful garden landscape is really worth it for fairies to come and check in and take pictures. Ca Glass Forest Art Museum closes at 5:30. Fairies who want to arrange a day to see the exhibition can first visit the nearby Sculpture Forest and Pola Art Museum, and finally come here.”
飞奔的企鹅5527:“It is right next to the Moto-Hakone Port and is definitely worth a visit. There are escalators up the mountain, which is a great angle to view Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi Bird's Nest in the city. There are also a variety of gem artworks and art exhibitions in the museum.”

travelererer:“This Gora Kadan Kaiseki restaurant is located in the hot spring hotel where we stayed. This restaurant is also rated as a star restaurant. The environment is as comfortable as ever. We ordered a few of their specialties.”
Kevin:“This is a restaurant affiliated with Hatsuhana Hotel, which specializes in soba noodles. The child ordered a portion of tamagoyaki (egg rice), which was also very delicious. The egg was half-cooked and tasted very good. The chicken was very tender, and it tasted a bit like soaked rice when paired with rice.”
travelererer:“ITOH DINING by NOBU is a well-known Japanese restaurant in the local area. The overall price-performance ratio is relatively high. We ordered a full table and the ingredients were very fresh.”
Kevin:“A popular coffee shop in Hakone, the environment is very nice, similar to a small garden, the cheesecake is delicious, I saw many people having a piece of cheesecake and a cup of coffee, sitting inside for a long time.”
Kevin:“There is a teahouse on the mountain road, and there are basically tourists passing by. The snacks and tea are not expensive. The matcha inside is very delicious and light, and the house is very cool, with a natural feeling.”
Kevin:“It can't be compared with the eel rice in Nagoya, but Taisho is also considered to be a larger eel rice specialty store in Hakone. It is more cost-effective to order the one-volume one, but the rice is relatively small and the eel is not particularly good.”
健康美丽的芳芳:“On the recommendation of a good local friend, we checked in at the Japanese restaurant "chimoto". We booked a private room in advance. The environment was really nice, and there were tatami seats. The tempura here is the best.”
Kevin:“It's near Gora Station. The black pork fried pork cutlet is very good. There are many varieties of set meals. I ordered two mid-range fried pork cutlets, both tasted good. The rice with onion and egg was more delicious.”
Kevin:“We ordered some simple meals, similar to what you would find in an izakaya. The fried chicken was delicious, the steak tasted great, and the Japanese tofu soup was great. The price was a little high, but overall we were satisfied.”
Kevin:“It's a bit similar to the snacks in Kyoto. The red bean ice cream is delicious. The red bean paste here is granular and tastes first-rate. The fried fish cakes are delicious. I thought they were pancakes at first.”
Kevin:“It's a very nice ice cream shop. The Japanese ice cream is very good, with a strong milky flavor. The matcha ice cream is relatively light, with a light matcha fragrance. There is also limited edition Japanese cola.”
Kevin:“A very famous soba noodle shop in Hakone. The basket soba is delicious, the tempura is also delicious. There is only one prawn, but it is great. The fried vegetables are also delicious.”
