Return to Hakone-en, have dinner while securing your viewing spot for the fireworks

About this spot

Hakone-en is an area facing Hakone-en Bay, the venue for the fireworks display, with well-equipped restaurants and shops. As evening falls, the area gradually becomes bustling with people securing viewing spots, allowing you to wait for the start while enjoying dinner at a leisurely pace. The high-altitude lakeshore of Lake Ashi is refreshingly cool even in midsummer, offering a pleasant night unique to this mountain-cradled lake.

2026年8月2日(日)開催、箱根園湾を舞台にした夏の花火大会です。芦ノ湖の湖上から約3,000発の花火が次々と打ち上がり、周囲の山々に音が反響して体の芯まで響く大迫力を生み出します。静かな湖面に映る花火の光も見どころで、山あいの湖ならではのスケール感が楽しめます。標高が高い立地のため、真夏でも涼しい夜風の中で花火を見上げられるのも魅力です。

Tips

荒天時は中止または内容変更となる場合があるため、当日は主催者の発表を確認しましょう。終了後は駐車場や周辺道路が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでからの移動がおすすめです。夜は冷え込むので羽織ものを忘れずに。

Tips

Approximately 10 minutes by car from Hakone Shrine. Nights can get colder than expected, so don't forget a jacket. The surrounding area has sections with minimal lighting, so a flashlight is reassuring.
