Hakone Hot Springs, Art Museums and Atami
Three nights in Gora, with visits to Hakone's art museums and the Lake Ashi old road, plus a day at the Atami seaside.
A slow-paced itinerary with no rushing: three nights in Gora to soak in the hot springs. One day for the Hakone Open-Air Museum, Gora Park and the Pola Museum of Art. One day taking the JR line to Atami for the thousand-year-old camphor tree at Kinomiya Shrine and the MOA Museum of Art. The last day covers the Owakudani valley, Lake Ashi, the Hakone Sekisho checkpoint and the stone-paved Old Tokaido road. Ideal for repeat visitors to Japan who love art and hot springs. Does not include the Fuji Five Lakes.
The autumn foliage in Gora and at the Open-Air Museum peaks from mid to late November.
