We are pleased to announce that Hakone has been featured in a special digital article in The New York Times, one of the world’s most prestigious news organizations.

This feature is part of a promotional campaign for the U.S. market led by the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB).

Titled “Traverse Tokyo and Beyond,” the article highlights Hakone as a premier destination for those seeking rich cultural experiences within easy reach of Tokyo.

The piece showcases Hakone’s iconic hot springs (onsen) and its unique blend of natural beauty and world-class art, emphasizing its appeal to “culture vultures” looking to explore beyond the capital.

The Hakone Tourism Association remains dedicated to sharing the diverse charms of our region with travelers from around the globe and will continue to strengthen our international outreach.
