Hakone is a town near Tokyo on the shores of Lake Ashinoko, 723 meters above sea level. The surrounding broadleaf forest turns red and gold in the autumn, a sight reflected in the serene lake -- many people come to gaze upon this beautiful spectacle. Meet a pastel artist with a lakeside studio, a traditional woodworking artisan, and a young fisherman catching wakasagi (Japanese smelt) in the waters of Lake Ashinoko. Join us as we take in the beauties of Hakone in autumn.
