This hike takes about 6 hours along the outer rim of the Hakone mountains, crossing several smaller peaks along the way — about 1,000 meters of ascent and 1,000 meters of descent in total. While not a technical route, the final descent runs over a rocky, uneven trail, making this hike best suited for intermediate-level hikers. Along the way, you'll enjoy sweeping views of Mt. Fuji, the Pacific Ocean, and Lake Ashi.
