Floating Park
This redesigned tourist boat offers an enchanting journey on Lake Ashi, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Inspired by a ‘green park floating on water,’ the boat features a deck adorned with real grass, ivy, and a variety of seating, including swings and benches shaped like Mount Fuji. Passengers can enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Hakone Shrine while experiencing nature up close. The design beautifully balances sustainability, relaxation, and the charm of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
