Hakone Gora Park Tourism

Hakone Gora Park is a beautiful French-style landscape park located in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Regarded as a scenic location with rich flora, the park spans about 4 hectares and sits on the steep slopes of the Hakone mountains. Offering panoramic views of Hakone and the surrounding area, including the majestic Mount Fuji on clear days, it's a favorite spot for relaxation and enjoyment of nature. Opened in 1914, the park is one of the premier attractions of Hakone, featuring wide lawns, flowing water, and seasonal flowers. Visitors are greeted by a range of flowers including hydrangeas, dahlias, and roses, with each season changing the color palette of the park. The park also offers a greenhouse, tea houses, and a craft house where visitors can try their hand at pottery and glassblowing. The on-site Hakuundo Chaen tea garden offers traditional Japanese tea experiences in a serene setting. Its European influence is particularly evident in fountain designs and architectural features like the Art Deco Fontaine Française. With myriad walking paths and benches to rest, it's a romantic, tranquil escape from the hustle of Japan's cities.
