When it comes to breathtaking landscapes, Hakone is a true gem in Japan. Nestled in the foothills of the iconic Mount Fuji, this region is renowned for its hot springs, stunning views, and rich cultural heritage. Bergado Photography had the opportunity to explore Hakone through the lens of a drone and the experience was nothing short of spectacular.

The Setting

The rolling hills, lush forests and serene lakes create a picturesque backdrop that is simply begging to be captured from above. With our drone ready, we set off to the best vantage point, eager to showcase the beauty of the iconic torii gate standing proudly at the water’s edge.

Capturing the Essence

Flying the drone over Lake Ashi and towards Mt. Fuji was undeniably a highlight. We hovered the drone just above the lake, capturing sweeping panoramic shots that showcased the harmony between nature and man-made structures.

Respecting the Environment

Using a drone in such a beautiful and culturally significant area comes with responsibility. We made sure to follow local regulations, respect no-fly zones, and be mindful of wildlife and other visitors.
