Hakone Sekisho
About
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.
Insider Tip
Climb the steep stairs to the lookout tower (To-bama) for the best panoramic views of Lake Ashi and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
