The 5th Station is situated at 2,300 meters above sea level. Here’s altitude is recognized as timberline (the altitudinal limit of normal tree growth.), so that here is said as the border between the heaven and earth. Enjoy the tremendous landscape surrounded by unspoiled nature.

Not only can you see many traditional assets, but also you can experience Yosegi-zaiku (marquetry) which is known as a traditional handmade woodwork in Hakone. Every single products has different pattern made with various natural woods.
Needless to say, you’ll be satisfied with the Hakone hot springs and Japan’s traditional atmosphere.
