Your Hakone Adventure Awaits: Three Must-Visit Attractions
- Hakone Open-Air Museum: A masterpiece blending art and nature, this stunning museum is a 15-minute drive or a scenic 25-minute journey via the Hakone Tozan Railway from Hakone-Yumoto Station, just an 11-minute walk from your apartment. Wander among monumental sculptures by Picasso, Henry Moore, and others set against the majestic Hakone mountains.
- Lake Ashi (Ashinoko): For iconic views of Mt. Fuji and pirate ship cruises, head to Lake Ashi. From Kyo Gu Bi E Etsu, walk to Hakone-Yumoto Station and take the Hakone Tozan Line to Togendai (approx. 50 mins), which delivers you directly to the lake’s shores. Alternatively, it’s a straightforward 30-minute drive.
- Owakudani Valley: Experience Hakone’s volcanic majesty at this active sulfurous valley, famous for its black eggs. It’s conveniently located 5.1 miles from the apartment. Take the Hakone Ropeway from Togendai (after your lake visit) or Sounzan stations, both easily accessed via the local train and cable car network from Hakone-Yumoto Station.
Kyo Gu Bi Etsu is more than an accommodation; it’s your tranquil command center for exploring the artistic, natural, and geothermal treasures of Hakone. After a day of marveling at sculptures, cruising a volcanic lake, or hiking through steamy valleys, you can return to your private balcony, your well-equipped kitchen, and the profound quiet of the mountains. Here, the essence of Japanese hospitality—*omotenashi*—meets the freedom of a modern holiday home. Book your stay and craft your own perfect Hakone story.
