Various kinds of drinks, souvenirs etc can be purchased onboard.

Vasa: The Lion of North Europe

Vasa, a medieval pirate ship is seen cruising on Ashi lake. Thousands of tourists and sightseers board this ship everyday of the year. On the background is the famous Yamano hotel, one of the best places to stay when visiting Hakone.

Best Views:

• Mount Fuji - Autumn/winter, early mornings and late evenings from the boats along the Ashi lake, from the mountains or from Moto Hakone.
• Cherry blossom - April
• Chinese silvergrass - Autumn
• Another great view in Autumn is along the lake when all the leaves on the trees turn yellow and red.
• Hakone is a mountainous resort, the driveway is complete with viewing spots all along the mountain range to the top, from where the beauty of the sprawling Ashi Lake can also be viewed. You can also view the mountains from the boats along the Lake Ashi.
