HAKONE PIRATE SHIP

The Hakone Pirate Ships are sightseeing cruise ships, which are decorated as replicas of pirate ships. The Hakone Pirate Ships are a famous sight on Lake Ashi and a Hakone icon. The Hakone Pirate Ships are the main form of transport between the Hakone Ropeway Station at  Togendai and the two townships of Motohakone-ko and Hakone-machi. From the deck of the Hakone Pirate Ships you can enjoy the scenery Lake Ashi including the vermillion shrine gate of Hakone Shrine. There is even a small chance that the weather will be clear enough to allow a clear view of Mt Fuji.
