When to Go
Hakone changes with the seasons, but is always worth the trip. Visit during winter for a better chance of clear days for viewing Mt. Fuji, or plan your stay for the fall, when the forest erupts with colorful foliage. If you want to climb Mt. Fuji, the official climbing season takes place in July and August, when the unpredictable weather on the slopes is calmer. April and June are the rainiest months, and December and January are cold (40°F) with occasional snow. In the summer, Hakone is a popular escape from the humid heat of Tokyo, with temperatures that rarely rise above 80°F.
