The Ōplatform Onsen Village features many high-quality inns, with several classic hot spring hotels offering views of Mount Fuji. There is also a train station named "Ōplatform Station," which is located on the Hakone Tozan Railway. This railway offers scenic beauty in all four seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in summer, autumn foliage in fall, and snow in winter. In particular, the hydrangea trains in summer are famous, with the best viewing period around mid-June.
