Hakone Seasons

Hakone looks and feels completely different depending on when you visit—and our seasonal articles help you make that work in your favor. Each piece focuses on a specific season or natural event: cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas along the Tozan Railway in early summer, fiery autumn foliage, and winter illuminations. Peak timing windows, top viewing spots, crowd levels, and weather advice are included so you can plan with confidence, not just hope for good timing.
