About this experience
The Hakone Komagatake Ropeway takes you from the shores of Lake Ashi up to the summit of Mount Komagatake, the second-highest mountain in Hakone. After the 7-minute flight, you can take in stunning views of the lake, Hakone's outer rim, Mt. Fuji, Sagami Bay, Suruga Bay, and even Yokohama Landmark Tower and Tokyo Skytree in the distance on clear days from the ropeway's summit.
