Yoro Valley in Chiba is a famous spot for autumn leaves. I went with a few friends over the weekend, and it was really beautiful. It's super convenient—just a short drive from Tokyo. Walking along the valley, the air felt especially fresh.

Hakone Sightseeing Cruise
A sightseeing ship that operates on Lake Ashinoko, a scenic spot in Hakone. The three ships, Royale II, Victory, and Queen Ashinoko, are characterized by their colorful and luxurious decorations. Each of them has a capacity of about 500 passengers and takes 25 to 35 minutes each way between Togendai Port, Hakone-machi Port, and Moto-Hakone Port. On a sunny day, the open deck is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the pleasant breeze and the seasonal views of nature and mountains.
Even though it was a weekday, there were still a lot of people taking the Hakone Pirate Ship. The interior is pretty luxurious, and the scenery outside the window is especially beautiful.

Hakone Ropeway
From Sounzan to Togendai Station, a ropeway runs about 4km. You can ride in a gondola and look over the lush nature of Hakone mountains, Lake Ashinoko, Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay. Enjoy a skywalk for about 24 minutes.
Taking the Hakone Ropeway from Sounzan to Togendai is really convenient. You can get off at Owakudani, one of Hakone's famous spots, and then continue your ride. The views of the mountains, reeds, and lush forests from the gondola are so relaxing.

Lake Kawaguchi (Kawaguchi-ko)
Lake Kawaguchi is known as one of the five Fuji lakes and is a popular spot because of its spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. The lakeside is filled with cherry blossoms in the spring, purple lavender in early summer, and autumn leaves in the fall, making each season a different and beautiful sight. Lake Kawaguchi is also known for having the only "island" and "bridge" in the Fuji Five Lakes.
Lake Kawaguchi is the most popular among the Fuji Five Lakes, and it's the best spot to see Mt. Fuji. I went with my family during Golden Week and we had a fantastic time.
