Hakone Sightseeing Ship has commenced operations of the new ship “Hakone Sightseeing Ship SORAKAZE” on February 23.
The existing ship “Hakonemaru” was renovated with the concept of a “Green Park Floating on Lake Ashi” in mind. The design emphasizes greening, featuring an outdoor deck covered in natural grass, and a stern crawling with natural ivy. The designer behind this project is Yasuyuki Kawanishi, who also worked on the design of the “WEST EXPRESS Ginga”.
Inside the ship, various seating options are available, including a kids’ space, hanging chairs, and swing-like benches. Additionally, the first floor is barrier-free, equipped with wheelchair spaces and a multipurpose restroom.
The route operated is the Hakone Sekisho Ato Port – Moto Hakone Port – Hakonemachi Port – Hakone Sekisho Ato Port circular route. Operating hours are from 9:20 AM to 4:00 PM, with 10 services operated per day.
