Lake Ashinoko (芦ノ湖, Ashinoko) was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano's last eruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is a symbol of Hakone. The lake's shores are mostly undeveloped, except for small towns in the east and north and a few lakeside resort hotels. The best views of the lake with Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone　and from the Hakone Detached Palace Garden.

The Hakone Ropeway (箱根ロ－プウエイ) is part of the Hakone Round Course, a popular way to visit Hakone. It connects Sounzan Station (at the terminus of the Hakone Tozan Cablecar) with Togendai Station (at the shore of Lake Ashinoko) and stops at Owakudani and Ubako stations on the way. The ropeway is fully covered by the Hakone Free Pass. The ropeway's gondolas depart every minute and fit around ten people each. Traveling the full length of the ropeway takes around 30 minutes. Along the journey, passengers can enjoy views of the active, sulfuric hot spring sources of the Owakudani Valley between Sounzan and Owakudani and of Lake Ashinoko and Mount Fuji between Owakudani and Togendai if visibility allows. A transfer of gondolas is necessary at Owakudani, but no transfer is needed at Ubako. Admission 1480 yen (one way), covered by the Hakone Free Pass.

An active volcano that powers many of the hot spings in the area. Famous for black boiled eggs that are said to bring long life!
