What is Sustainable Tourism?
Sustainable Tourism in Hakone
Sustainable tourism in Hakone is meant to protect and find balance with the "characteristics of the volcanic terrain".
We aim to carefully protect hot springs, culture and history, the abundant flora and fauna, endemic flora and insects, the uniqueness of the caldera terrain, and the outstanding view of Mt. Fuji.
