Hakone Sekisho

Step back into the Edo period at Hakone Sekisho, a meticulously reconstructed military checkpoint that once strictly controlled travel along the historic Tokaido highway. Visitors can explore the soldiers' quarters, lookouts, and prison chambers to get a vivid sense of feudal Japan's intense security measures. The hilltop lookout offers a commanding view of Lake Ashi, making it a great stop for both history buffs and photographers.
