The Hakone Komagatake Ropeway (” ª‹îƒ–Šxƒ[ƒvƒEƒF[), not to be confused with the Hakone Ropeway, leads from the shore of Lake Ashinoko to near the Komagatake peak of Mount Hakone. The ropeway is not covered by the Hakone Free Pass, although discounted.
When visibility is good, panoramic views of Lake Ashinoko and Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from the ropeway's upper station. A short walk away, on the actual peak of Komagatake, stands the Hakone Shrine Mototsumiya, the original Hakone Shrine, whose main site is now located at the more easily accessible shores of Lake Ashinoko in Moto-Hakone.

Several hiking trails lead from the Komagatake summit down to the shores of Lake Ashinoko, Owakudani and Sounzan Station. The trails lead mostly through the forest with limited panoramic views of the surrounding scenery and can get closed when there is volcanic activity in the area.
Several more attractions are located in the area around the ropeway's lower station at the shores of Lake Ashinoko, known as Hakone-en. These include some Prince Hotel-affiliated lodgings, a golf course and a few minor attractions such as a small aquarium and petting zoo.

Getting there and around

By bus
The lower ropeway station at Hakone-en is served by infrequent Odakyu buses and two Izuhakone buses per hour from Togendai to Hakone-en (20 minutes, 470 yen one way). From Moto-Hakone, there are infrequent Odakyu buses (10 minutes, 200 yen one way) and even less frequent Izuhakone buses (15 minutes, 380 yen one way) to Hakone-en. Odakyu buses are covered by the Hakone Free Pass, but Izuhakone buses are not.
By boat
Only one of the two cruise companies on Lake Ashinoko, Hakone Pleasure Cruise, serves Hakone-en port where the Komagatake Ropeway is located. It can be reached from Moto-Hakone or Hakone-machi in 15-25 minutes and for 1000 yen one way. Note that these boats are not covered by the Hakone Free Pass.
On foot
It is about two kilometers or a 30 minute walk from Moto-Hakone to the lower ropeway station.
