Hakone National Park is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park,
less than 150 miles from Tokyo. Famous for its volcanic landscapes
and hot springs, Hakone National Park is one of the most popular
destinations among Japanese and international tourists. See a
sweeping view of the National Park from the aerial cable car
and at the “Owakudani” valley (Hell Valley), where you will see
smoking volcanic activity and be able to sample the volcanic
cooked black eggs. Enjoy the natural scenery and a delightful
boat ride across Lake Ashi. Hakone Checkpoint used to be an
important checkpoint to control traffic along the Tokaido highway
which linked Tokyo with Kyoto during the feudal Edo Period.
This checkpoint controlled weapons from being brought into
Edo and also kept women and children from fleeing. It was in
operation for more than 260 years until 1868, when the Edo
period changed to the Meiji period. Hakone Shrine stands at
the foot of Mt. Hakone along the shores of Lake Ashi. Founded
in 757, this shrine is known for the large red torii gate that
stands in the lake.
