About Lac Ashi
Le lac Ashi (Ashinoko) est un lac de cratère niché au cœur de Hakone, au Japon, né de l'éruption du mont Hakone il y a plus de 3 000 ans. D'une circonférence d'environ 20 km, il s'étend à 723 mètres d'altitude.
Il est réputé pour ses vues sur le mont Fuji, pour le torii rouge du sanctuaire Hakone qui se reflète dans ses eaux, ainsi que pour ses répliques de navires pirates qui assurent la traversée des passagers. Sur ses rives, sentiers de randonnée, sources thermales et sites historiques composent une escale riche en découvertes.
