Hakone
The mountain resort town of Hakone is Tokyo's finest day trip — an hour by Romancecar from Shinjuku to ryokan towns, cable cars, Lake Ashi with Fuji reflected in still water, and the finest open-air sculpture museum in Japan. Staying a night at a traditional ryokan with mountain hot springs completes the experience.
