The Hakone Tozan Railway is one of Japan’s most charming mountain railways.
Climbing steep slopes with unique switchbacks, the train offers passengers stunning views of lush forests, deep valleys, and hydrangeas blooming along the tracks in summer. Each season paints a different picture — cherry blossoms in spring, vivid greenery in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and snowy landscapes in winter. It’s not just transportation, but a slow and scenic journey into the heart of Hakone’s natural beauty.
