HAKONE
and
KAMAKURA
Hakone (), about I hr. 30 min. by rail from Shinjuku and Tokyo stations, is one of the most popular inland tourist resorts in Japan. Wedged between Mt. Fuji and lzu Peninsula, it is a large region encircled by several forested mountains and has a beauty dramatically accented by deep glens and ravines. In the feudal era, Hakone was a very important checkpoint that safeguarded the security of Edo (now Tokyo) as the seat of the Shogunate. Historical relics and documents on display are well preserved. Several museums are open to the public. Sightseeing highlights are Lake Ashi, nestled in dense forest, Owakudani (Greater Boiling Valley) with its plumes of sulfurous steam gushing upward, and numerous hot-spring rest spots in attractive natural settings. Hakones wide variety of travel diversions draws large numbers of holidaymakers year-round. Places of Interest: Hakone-Yumoto (), 1 hr. 30 min. by Odakyu Railways limited express from Shinjuku, is a main gateway to the Hakone Spa District. Yumoto Spa, the oldest in the district, sprang up at the confluence of the Sukumo River and the Hayakawa River, the outlet of Lake Ashi. Well-appointed inns are located in quiet settings along the picturesque gorge. Miyanoshita (), 25 min. by rail from Hakone-Yumoto, is the most thriving spa town in Hakone, with many excellent hotels and inns as well as souvenir shops. This spa is very popular with foreign travelers. It is a starting point for side tours to Lake Ashi, Gora Spa and the Sengokuhara Plain. Delightful walks and drives can be enjoyed through the wooded hills and vales. Gora Park (), a 5-min. walk from Gora Station, is the largest rock park in the Orient. Passing through the rosedraped archway, visitors enjoy a stroll along brick paths. The main attraction is a gigantic fountain pond. The park boasts a natural museum, an alpine plant garden and a tropical botanical

garden. Admission is charged. Owakudani (, Greater Boiling Valley), 5-7 min. by ropeway from Sounzan, lies in the ancient crater of Mt. Kamiyama. The entire gorge reeks of sulfurous fumes. Clouds of steam rise from crevasses, hot springs bubble out, and in some cases, hot water has been tapped and piped to distant places. Lake Ashi (), 725 m. (2,378 ft.) above sea level, is a principal attraction of Hakone. It has a circumference of 21 km (11 mi.) with an aquatic area of 680 ha. (2.7 sq. mi.). The lake abounds in black bass and trout, which makes angling a main leisure activity, along with boating. It is also well known for the inverted reflection of Mt. Fuji seen on a clear day. Regular pleasure boat service links Togendai or Kojiri on the north and Moto-Hakone or Hakone-Machi on the south, some with a stopover at Hakone-en Park en route. Sengokuhara ( ), 30 min. by bus from HakoneYumoto, is another enjoyable spot. In autumn, Sengokuhara Heights () has a vast inclined plane covered with golden-colored Japanese pampas grass at the foot of Mt. Daigatake. Choanji Temple (), 1 min. -walk from Sengoku Bus Stop, built in 1356 and rebuilt at the present location in 1655, is famous for its red leaves (especially in mid-nov.) in the backyard where 250 stone images of Buddha's disciples with fascinating expression. Some characteristic museums are situated in this area such as Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands ( ) which displays 1700 species of marsh and alpine plants, Lalique Museum Hakone (), Museum of Saint-Exupry and The Little Prince (), Pola Museum of Art () and Venetian Glass Museum ().
