Lake Ashi (Ashinoko), is located in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park in Japan. Lake Ashi is a wonderfully picturesque lake formed in the caldera of Mt. Hakone after the volcano's last erruption 3000 years ago.

On clear days you will have incredible views of Mt Fuji beyond the lake.

There are plenty of trails throughout the area.

Cruise boats, some of which look like pirate ships, are an interesting means of transportation along the lake where there are hotels and small towns located along the lake's shores.
