Ashinoko Skyline

10.75km Hakone crater-rim toll road balancing Lake Ashi against Mount Fuji

The Ashinoko Skyline is a 10.75km toll road opened in 1972 that runs north–south along the outer western rim of the Hakone caldera at about 1,000m, from National Route 1 near Hakone Pass to Kojiri above the northern shore of Lake Ashi. The ridge gives Lake Ashi to the east and, in clear weather, Mount Fuji, Suruga Bay and the Izu Peninsula to the west. It is a paid toll road on an exposed crater rim, prone to fog and a Hakone enthusiast favourite alongside the nearby Turnpike.
