    The scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful—no wonder this is called one of the most scenic railway routes in Japan. There’s even a cart selling snacks and Akita specialties on board, so you never get bored. The rice paddy art is especially cool, and the view from inside the train is the best angle to see it.

    There's a very famous torii gate by the lake, and the steps are lined with ancient, towering trees. The shrine has over a thousand years of history, and generations of warriors and travelers have come here to pray. Hakone itself is also a super popular travel destination.
