Mt. Taikan Observation Deck
About
Perched on the rim of the Hakone caldera, this premier lookout offers some of the most iconic, unobstructed views of Mount Fuji rising behind Lake Ashi. It is an essential stop for photographers and nature lovers, especially since it is less congested than other lakeside viewpoints. On-site, you can enjoy the panorama from an outdoor viewing platform or relax with a warm drink at the second-floor cafe.
Insider Tip
Arrive just after sunrise on a clear autumn or winter morning for the crispest views of Fuji and a stunning sea of clouds.
