Lake Ashi
Lake Ashi is often called “Hakone Lake”. It’s agreat scenic lake along Hakone mountain with a view of Mt. Fuji and great red torii gate from Hakone shrine which locates along the lake. The lake is pretty touristic surrounded with shops, onsen, hotels and some historical sites. Cruising lakes might be the most popular activity to do in Lake Ashi. My recommendation would be to rent a bicycle and cycle around the lake!
The best time to enjoy autumn foliage around Lake Ashi is usually from end of October to mid November. As it’s surrounded with the forest and the mountain, the greatest point of viewing autumn leaves in Lake Ashi is that you can enjoy the different colours of trees in different altitude. Watch the contrast of colours from brown-red-orange-yellow-green on the same mountain. Also to see the great view of Mt.Fuji, better check the weather before hand as it’s the best when the sky is clear.
