Pretty good rest stop to spend the night. All the bathroom facilities are available and there is a 24 hour 'reading room'. However you can't really see mount fuji from here.

I was traveling in a camper van and used several such roadside stations during my trip. I spent the night in my van here which was really convenient and refreshing. Along with clean restrooms and an awesome ice cream vending machine there's an electric van charging station as well. All in all, great roadside station at a convenient and scenic location.

When is the best time to visit Roadside Station Hakone-toge (Hakone, Japan)?
