Experience a unique tea-themed cruise on Lake Ashinoko with the new Daichakai sightseeing boat. Enjoy green tea drinks, sweets, and even a tea ceremony room onboard!

Hakone, known for its hot springs and views of Mt. Fuji, now offers a unique attraction: the Daichakai sightseeing boat on Lake Ashinoko. This remodeled vessel features a tea ceremony theme, with green tea-inspired decor and a dedicated tea ceremony room called Kinpuan.

Onboard, indulge in green tea drinks and sweets at Chaten, the boat's tea stand, offering matcha, matcha floats, and even matcha beer. The ship also features unique seating areas, including terraced tea field-inspired spots and a half open-air tea cottage-style space called Ryokufuan.

The Daichakai operates from Hakone Sekisho Ato port, with stops at Motohakone and Hakone-en. Certain routes extend to Kojiri. Check the official website for timetables and fares to plan your tea-infused lake adventure.
