Hakone Park

Hakone Park is a gentle retreat in the heart of Hakone, Kanagawa: a strolling garden that invites visitors to slow down and move at their own pace. With over 2,000 Google reviews and a 4.3-star rating, it has earned quiet admiration from those who find their way here. The garden rewards the unhurried: a thoughtful walk, a pause on a bench, the particular stillness that comes from a well-tended green space in a mountain town.

When to go

Hakone Park is open around the clock every day of the week, which makes early mornings and late evenings especially appealing: the light is softer, the paths emptier, and the atmosphere more contemplative. Each season brings its own character, from fresh spring growth to the muted tones of autumn.

“Great spot to see a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. Signs are very helpful throughout the park. The grounds crew does an amazing job to keep the park looking beautiful. Easy to access via public transport with a bus station right outside of it. Glad we stopped here!”— Kelsi Walker, Google review
