You don't need an oxygen tank to see what resides in the deep blue. Have a gander at Hakone-en Aquarium and feed your inner explorer.

Do you enjoy a refreshing glass of beer at the end of a long day? Head over to the Asahi Brewery Kanagawa and the Inoue Sake Brewery and learn how this delicious beverage is crafted.

You'll find some pretty botanical parks and gardens around Hakone where visitors can see some new plant species or simply sit, relax and remark on the serenity. Amble around the Soga Bessho Bairin and the Tsujimura Botanical Garden. They are great spots with gardens admired by all types of people. The Hakone Gora Park and Odawara Flower Garden might also be worth having a look at if you chance to find yourself nearby.

If you've been flat out like a lizard drinking, why not have a break in some of Hakone's lovely parks? Mosey on over to Manyo Park or the Odawara Kokian and take in the tranquil environment. Alternatively, Gensei no Mori Forest and Shirataki Park might be more practical depending on your location.

You will certainly enjoy an afternoon filled with charming scenery along with the pleasant sound of falling water at any of the Hakone area's waterfalls. Don't forget to pack a camera so you'll be able to capture Fudo Falls and Sunset Falls, two of the best choices. Hiryu Falls and Chisuji Falls also happen to be awesome places to spend an afternoon with your family if you aren't short on time.

Lake Ashi is not difficult to locate. Just strike up a chat with any of the hotel staff and ask about this picturesque natural attraction.

Travelling sometimes gets a bit stressful. If you want to go somewhere to chill out for a while, the refreshing salty air at Yugawara Beach will be sure to reinvigorate you for the adventures ahead.

Don't miss out on visiting at least one of the local environmental reserves and parks. Plan a trip to Great Boiling Valley or Shitodo Cave, a selection of highly recommended options. If you still have some extra time, go and see Onshi Hakone Koen Park and Mount Kamiyama.

If you're a sucker for museums, this destination has your name all over it. Offering an impressive variety of well-curated exhibits, these sites will keep you busy for hours. Two of the best options are the Hakone Sekisho and the Hakone Ekiden Museum. If you are keen for something more to do, you could also drop in at the Hakone Village Samurai Museum or Mamoru Shigemitsu Memorial Hall.

Has the weather taken a turn for the worse? Head to Gekko Observatory for an enlightening and amusing activity.

If the weather's turned nasty and you're getting cabin fever, the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History and the Monino Fureaikan are two great indoor attractions in the area. Explore the informative collections, check for any tours that might be on during your stay and have a chat with the friendly staff if you have any questions.

Does art float your boat? Hakone is home to loads of fantastic exhibition spaces that will be right up your alley.
