Katase Beach

Katase Beach

Spots where Mt. Fuji is visible across the sea are rare even in Japan. The Enoshima area, one of those rare spots, is known for its beautiful views of Mt. Fuji where it appears quite large, especially on sunny winter days. Recommended viewpoints include Enoshima, as well as points between Katase-Enoshima Station and Enoshima; for example, Enoshima Bentenbashi Bridge, Nishihama Beach, and Kugenuma Beach. The photo shows the scenery at Katase Beach (a short walk from Odakyu Line Katase-Enoshima Station (OE 16)).

Grand Mall Park

Grand Mall Park

As a park located on the waterfront, we developed a design based on the theme of "the sea" to create a facility that enhances the appeal of the Minato Mirai 21 district. Art furniture (benches) with a nautical motif were installed under a row of zelkova trees, where the sun shines through the trees. At night, a luminous sea pavement in front of the art square creates a new nightscape of Minato Mirai with illusory light reminiscent of luminous insects drifting among the waves of the sea.

Lake Ashi

Lake Ashi

Lake Ashi, also known as Ashinoko, was created by a steam explosion of Mount Kamiyama about 3000 years ago. This caused a river to be dammed, which formed the lake. The majority of the lake’s water comes from a spring at the bottom of the lake. The area is often bustling with hikers along the shore, picnickers, and people fishing.The Hakone Sightseeing Cruise Pirate Ship is one of Ashinoko's most famous experiences. Pirate ships come in three different designs, but all cruises offer the same, smooth journeys across Ashinoko, promising a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji on clear days.Togendai Port is one of the three ports where the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise docks. It is also directly connected to the Hakone Ropeway.The Hakone Ropeway connects visitors from Togendai Port to the Owakudani observation platform, Hakone's most famous tourist spot. While the view of Mt. Fuji from the observatory is stunning on its own, the view from taking the ropeway alone will take your breath away.A 15-minute walk from Togendai pier, this small observation square is a lesser-known observatory that also provides beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and Ashinoko. If you feel like skipping Owakudani and taking a shortcut, this observatory is for you.Enjoy a magnificent view of Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi, and the red torii gate, in the morning or evening at Motohakone Port. Depending on your luck, you can see the reflection of Mt. Fuji on the clear lake surface in the early morning if weather conditions permit.
