Hakone Skyline
D29Kojiri Pass, Susono to Nagao Pass, Gotemba · Shizuoka Prefecture
A short ridge-running toll road on Hakone's west rim with a head-on Mount Fuji panorama.
The Hakone Skyline is a roughly five-kilometre toll road that picks up where the Ashinoko Skyline ends, running north along the western ridge of the Hakone outer rim from near Kojiri Pass to Nagao Pass above Gotemba. It is short but prized: from the ridge and the Fuji Viewpoint parking near the northern end you get an almost unobstructed, head-on view of Mount Fuji to the west and glimpses of Lake Ashi to the east. The surface is well kept and the curves are open ridge sweepers rather than hairpins, which is why it is a staple of the Hakone driving and riding scene alongside the neighbouring Turnpike and Ashinoko Skyline. It is a daytime toll road and closes overnight. Mind the toll-gate operating hours and overnight closure, strong crosswinds and cloud that can blank Fuji entirely, and heavy enthusiast and tourist traffic at weekends.
