If you have never been there, you should make it a point to visit Hakone while in Japan. It sits by lake Ashinoko, and it is a beautiful place to see. My friend Meri was just there and i poached these photos from here FB page. I remember visiting there and being blown away by the huge red ( torii gates ) they looked soo cool, and as you can see in these photos, really dramatic. Thanks Meri.
