Located near the shores of Lake Ashi, Hakone Maruyama is a premier showcase for Yosegi Zaiku, the region's traditional mosaic woodwork. Visitors can browse an exquisite collection of puzzle boxes, coasters, and lacquerware, or even participate in a hands-on workshop to assemble their own wooden secret box. It is the perfect stop to appreciate centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship and pick up a truly authentic, locally made heirloom.
Book the puzzle-box making workshop in advance; it takes about 30 minutes and is a fantastic, family-friendly hands-on souvenir.
