I photographed the two ships, Hakone Sightseeing Cruise and Lake Ashinoko Pleasure Cruise, with atoriishrine gate on the lake. People could see Mt. Fuji from the lakeside, but I couldn't because of a cloudy day.
Hakone Sightseeing Cruise, looking like pirate ships, is beloved by many tourists because of their gorgeous look since 1964. In 2020, three ships, "Victory" (in the first photograph), "Royal II", and "Queen Ashinoko" are in service.
Lake Ashinoko Pleasure Cruise, having a longer history than Hakone Sightseeing Cruise, marks its 100th anniversary in 2020. "Jikkoku-maru" (in the second photograph), "Ashinoko-maru", "Hakone-maru", and "Koma II" are in service.
