Hiking
The area has some nice hiking trails. The national park website has an up to date list of hikes and their current status (http://www.hakone.or.jp/e...). The visitor's center in Togendai also has a model of the area including many of the hikes around the Lake Ashi. For example there is a hike from Togendai to Owakudani and from there to Mt. Komagatake passing the peaks of Mt. Kanmurigatake and Mt. Kami. From Mt. Komagatake take the cable car down and the bus back to Togendai beware: last cable car leaves Mt. Komagatake at 16:50. The hike takes between 2.5 and 3 hours and covers quite a difference in altitude. Sturdy shoes are definitely helpful but not necessary.
No trip to Hakone would be complete without a dip at a Japanese hot spring onsen. If you're staying overnight, your lodgings may include bathing facilities, but if not many hotels open up their baths to visitors for around ¥500 or so.
